Hundreds of Morgan Keegan investors are reviewing potential RMK Fund lawsuits to recover losses suffered due to the recent subprime mortgage crash. Regions Morgan Keegan (RMK) mutual fund managers overconcentrated their portfolios in highly vulnerable collateralized debt obligations without fully disclosing the extent of the investments or the true risks they were exposing their investors to. As a result of their mismanagement and fraudulent misrepresentations, investors may be able to recover some of the losses experienced during 2007.

The RMK Select High Income Fund and RMK Select Intermediate Bond Fund invested a substantial portion of their assets in high-risk, collateralized securities, such as subprime mortgage loans and other illiquid securities. These new types of investments had not been tested through market cycles and were traded in very thin markets where there were not a lot of buyers. This exposed investors to a much higher risk for substantial losses than they agreed to accept when they placed their money in the RMK funds.

The untested investment structures were a larger part of the RMK fund portfolios than other similar mutual funds in the United States. When the subprime mortgage market fell apart last summer, the RMK funds suffered dramatically higher losses than other similar high-yield bond funds, even though the entire industry experienced the same market conditions.

These RMK fund losses were not caused by an economic downturn or market forces, but were directly caused by poor fund management which placed investors in a much more vulnerable position than they agreed to be in. In addition, inadequate steps were taken to minimize investment losses from the mortgage delinquencies which affected a large portion of the RMK fund portfolios.

    I am down on paper over $700,000. This was the only investment in Morgan Keegan I was placed in. The broker said it was secure, and it hasn’t been.
