An investor told me that the FIDREC mediator was able to get the financial institution to buy back 50% of the Lehman mini-bonds at full value (less interest received). He retained the remaining 50% of the investment.
In my view, this settlement is fair and is in accordance with my suggestion that both parties (i.e. the distributor and the investor) should share the loss equally. Actually, the investor suffered a larger loss as the capital sum had been invested for a few years without any return.
Anyway, the investor was glad to receive this settlement and thanked me for advising him to go to FIDREC. I hope that the other financial institutions would make a similar offer to their investors.
