Archegos Capital Management (“Archegos”), a family office mutual fund, was founded and operated by Sung Kook Hwang (“Hwang”), a former portfolio manager of Tiger Asia Management, a hedge fund he founded.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are global financial services institutions that have served as two of Archegos’ primary brokers, helping the company do business and lending it capital in the form of margin loans.

Archegos has held large, concentrated positions in companies such as ViacomCBS Inc. (“ViacomCBS”), Vipshop Holdings Ltd., Discovery Inc., Farfetch Ltd. (“Farfetch”), Gaotu Techedu, Inc., Baidu Inc. (“Baidu”), iQIYI Inc., and Tencent Holdings Ltd. through financial instruments known as total return swaps, the underlying securities being held by banks that broker the investments.

Unbeknownst to investors and regulators, several large brokerage banks, including the defendant, had simultaneously enabled Archegos to gain billions in volatile stocks through swap contracts, dramatically increasing the risk of these concentrated positions.

on March 23, 2021 ViacomCBS announced a new one $ 3 billion offers to fund investments in its streaming service Paramount +, which launched earlier this month.

on March 25, 2021, one of Wall Street’s most influential market research firms, MoffettNathanson, released a report that challenged the value of ViacomCBS, downgraded the stock to “Sell” and set a price target of only. was established $ 55 per share compared to $ 85 Offer. “We never thought we would see Viacom[CBS] Trade near $ 100 per share, “it said in the report.” Obviously, the management of ViacomCBS also does not, “it continued, citing the new share offering.

As a result of that report, ViacomCBS stock slumped, losing more than half its value in less than a week. Indeed, until the close of trading on Friday March 26th 2021, ViacomCBS was worth it $ 48 per share.

This proved extremely problematic for Archegos, who had been trading ViacomCBS on margin. Since Archegos had to hold a certain amount of collateral to satisfy its lenders, and since the value of ViacomCBS stock has plummeted, Archegos needed enough collateral to cover or a margin call (where the lender can force a sell-off of the stock) . to bring the investor back into compliance with the margin requirements) could be triggered.

on March 27, 2021, it was reported that Archegos did not mare and, as a result, more than. had to liquidate $ 20 billion its leveraged equity positions Friday March 26th 2021.

The lawsuit alleges that during the entire collection period, the defendants held a large number of Vipshop shares in the week of Jan. March 22, 2021while in possession of material, non-public information. Later media reports said the defendants dumped large block trades made up of stocks in Archegos’ doomed bets, including billions in Vipshop stocks, at the end of the year Thursday March 25, 2021before the Archegos story leaked to the public and left Vipshop stock in a tailspin.

As a result of these sales, the defendants avoided losses running into billions.

Defendants knew or did not know that they were prohibited from trading on the basis of this confidential market-moving information, but acted anyway and sold their Vipshop shares to the plaintiff and other members of the group before the news was announced about Archegos and the Vipshop shares broke in.

As a result, the plaintiff and the class was harmed by defendants’ violations of US securities laws.
