NEW YORK, Feb 9 (Reuters) - An investor on Friday filed a lawsuit against managers of a U.S. mutual fund that relied heavily on a strategy that profits from calm markets but lost four-fifths of its value in recent market turmoil.
In a complaint seeking class-action status filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, investor Leonard Sokolow said he owned shares of LJM Preservation and Growth Fund , a once-$800 million fund that lost most of its value despite touting its ability "to deliver solid returns while maintaining risk parameters" in its most recent annual report to shareholders.
