Twenty-three related cases have been filed, alleging the primary dealers that underwrite the US government’s debt colluded to manipulate the price of US Treasuries to their benefit. US Treasury securities are sold through an auction process in which banks and brokers listed as “primary dealers” place bids for the number of bonds they wish to buy and at what price.

The article states in part “……A US judge said that twelve major banks have violated antitrust laws by working together to limit competition in the credit default swaps (CDS) market, and investors may pursue a lawsuit against them. US District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan said investors may go ahead with claims that the defendants violated the Sherman Act, causing them to pay unfair prices on CDS trades, used to hedge against credit default risk. The banks involved in the case are Bank of America Corp, Barclays Plc, BNP Paribas SA, Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., HSBC Holdings Plc, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and UBS AG............. Cote dismissed claims that the pricing of the swaps were the result of coincidence: “The complaint provides a chronology of behaviour that would probably not result from chance, coincidence, independent responses to common stimuli, or mere interdependence,” she said. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association and Markit Ltd., which provide credit derivative pricing services, are also named defendants in the lawsuit.……….”. See Burne, K.

Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Credit Agricole SA (CAGR.PA), Credit Suisse Group AG (CSGN.S), Deutsche Bank AG (DBKGn.DE) and Nomura Holdings Inc. (8604.T) were accused of secretly agreeing to widen the “bid-ask” spreads they quoted customers of supranational, sub-sovereign and agency (SSA) bonds........... The proposed class-action lawsuit seeks triple damages, and follows probes by U.S. and European Union antitrust regulators into possible SSA bond price rigging. Those probes are also examining the London-based defendant traders Hiren Gudka of Bank of America, Bhardeep Singh Heer of Nomura, Amandeep Singh Manku of Credit Agricole and Shailen Pau of Credit Suisse, Thomson Reuters’ IFR service reported in January……….”.

This article stated in part: “…..On March 22, 2019, the Ohio Carpenters’ Pension Fund filed a proposed antitrust class action in the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that Bank of America and NatWest (f/k/a RBS) conspired to rig the bid-ask spreads of Eurozone government bonds between 2007 and 2012. The complaint specifically alleges that the defendants were (nominally) competing “primary dealers” for the sale of the bonds to investors, but that they colluded to increase their bid-ask spread collectively in order to avoid competitive disadvantage and potential loss of the issuers’ business. On January 31, 2019, the European Commission issued a press release stating that it had formed the “preliminary view” that “eight banks participated in a collusive scheme that aimed at distorting competition when acquiring and trading European government bonds,” and that the collusion activity largely took place on internet chat rooms. This story was widely reported by financial press outlets such as Bloomberg. Although the Commission did not name the banks involved, NatWest/RBS has been identified as a likely subject of the investigation.

This article stated in part: “……On February 22, 2019, the City of Birmingham’s pension fund and various other benefit funds filed a proposed antitrust class action in the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that a number of major banks–Bank of America, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Deutsche Bank, among others–conspired to manipulate the secondary market for unsecured bonds issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac between 2009 and 2014. The defendants are the largest dealers in the $550 billion over-the-counter secondary markets, and the complaint alleges that they colluded among themselves to inflate the prices of bonds they sold and to deflate the prices of bonds they repurchased from investors, including the institutional investors who are the lead plaintiffs. Interestingly, the complaint relies on the fact that the bid-ask prices changed dramatically in April 2014 after the banks came under additional scrutiny due to the LIBOR manipulation scandal. The complaint also alleges that this conduct is the subject of an ongoing Department of Justice investigation.…....”.

This article stated in part: “……..In our May 17, 2018, post, we alerted you to several lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York alleging manipulation of the market for Mexican government bonds, and noted that one case had already moved to consolidate with other actions. Since then, on June 18, 2018, the Court granted motions by plaintiffs in all six of the following cases to consolidate and be granted leave to file a consolidated amended complaint: Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System et al. vs. Banco Santander S.A. et al., 18-cv-02830 (S.D.N.Y.); Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority et al. vs. Banco Santander S.A. et al., 18-cv-03985 (S.D.N.Y.); Boston Retirement System vs. Banco Santander S.A. et al., 18-cv-04294 (S.D.N.Y.); Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority vs. Banco Santander S.A. et al., 18-cv-0440 (S.D.N.Y.); United Food and Commercial Workers Union and Participating Food Industry Employers Tri-State Pension Fund vs. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. et al., 18-cv-04402 (S.D.N.Y.), and Government Employees’ Retirement System of the Virgin Islands vs. Banco Santander S.A. et al., 18-cv-4673 (S.D.N.Y.).

Tom Emmer (R-MN) on January 8 introduced the Preventing Excessive Mutual Fund Litigation Act, H.R. 4738, to deter the overuse of unwarranted lawsuits that may impact how Americans pool their resources to purchase stocks, bonds or other securities. “By cutting down the number of frivolous lawsuits targeted at mutual funds, we can allow Americans to continue to make the investments they need for their future,” Emmer, who serves on the House Financial Services Committee, said in a January 10 statement. A recent Investment Company Institute study reports that some 55 million U.S. households own mutual funds. “Whether it’s the recent college graduate starting to save in a 401(k) plan at her first job, the young family who wants to save to pay for their children’s education, or the elderly couple who wants to better manage their assets in retirement,” Emmer said, “Mutual funds are essential tools to help invest in the American dream.” But mutual funds are heavily regulated, and many times get tangled up in lawsuits focused on Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act, said Emmer’s office.

    Fichera (2011) stated in part: “……….Nor are the auctions open and competitive processes, where any and all willing investors have equal access to relevant information. This is key to independent investor liquidity. …….Three things can be done to promote liquidity in the ARS market and create the basis for using an auction mechanism in the future:

    1. The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and other regulators should establish a single set of rules, practices and disclosures for how auctions are conducted. The MSRB rules should be extended to all ARS product as a first step….….

    2. ARS issuers should open their auctions to all potential investors interested in competing, not just those bidding through one or a few select broker-dealers. …..

    3. An auction securities exchange platform should be established to facilitate a return to liquidity in the market, with clear ground rules established for the current and next generation of auction securities………..”.

  16. 16.

    Schmidt et al. (2008) stated in part “…….PT3 has three key features: reference dependence, decision weights and uncertain reference points (i.e. reference points that can be lotteries). The first two features are the common characteristics of different versions of prospect theory, including the original (or first-generation) version (Kahneman and Tversky 1979) and the later cumulative (or second-generation) versions featuring rank-dependent decision weights (e.g. Starmer and Sugden 1989, Luce and Fishburn 1991, Tversky and Kahneman 1992, Wakker and Tversky 1993). Variants of cumulative prospect theory are increasingly widely applied in both theoretical and empirical work (recent examples are Davies and Satchell 2004, Trepel et al. 2005, Baucells and Heukamp 2006, Schmidt and Zank 2008) and some have argued that such theories may be serious contenders for replacing expected utility theory at least for specific purposes (see Camerer 1989). No doubt this is partly because there is considerable empirical support for both reference-dependence and decision weights (see Starmer 2000). First- and second-generation prospect theory have a common limitation: the reference points from which prospects are evaluated are assumed to be certainties. If reference points are interpreted as endowments or status quo positions, these theories cannot be applied to problems in which a decision maker is endowed with a lottery and has the opportunity to sell or exchange it ………”. This last sentence reaffirms some of the critique in Nwogugu (2005a, b).
