• Consolidated Amended Fund Derivative Complaint

Chimicles & Tikellis LLP announces that a derivative lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the Strong family of funds (the “Funds”), operated by Strong Financial Corporation, Strong Capital Management, Inc., and subsidiaries, seeking to pursue remedies under common law and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

The Complaint alleges that defendants violated common law and Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Complaint charges that certain of the defendants improperly allowed certain favored investors to engage in “timing” of the Funds’ securities. These practices were undisclosed in the prospectuses of the Funds, which falsely represented that the Funds actively police against timing and that premature redemptions will be assessed a charge.

The derivative complaint seeks damages for harm caused to the various mutual fund families, disgorgement of excessive management fees and profits, removal of fund directors, rescission of fund management contracts, and the payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses, as well as therapeutic or structural changes in the funds’ policies and review procedures, aimed at decreasing the risk of similar wrongdoing occurring in the future. It is our belief that a derivative action will maximize recovery to investors because the illegally gained profits will be returned to the Fund and inure to the benefit of the investors.
