What happened

A proposed class action was filed by several individual plaintiffs against Vanguard Marketing Corporation, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, Pershing LLC, and Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC. The docket text does not describe the specific allegations, but the case is docketed as an 'Other Statutory Action' and appears to involve the firms' handling of customer brokerage or investment accounts. The claims are only allegations and have not been proven.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
