Investors to apply collective pressure to ING
The ING/ANZ Frozen Funds Action Group has already attracted hundreds of investors stung by losses in ING's two CDO funds – the Diversified Yield Fund (DYF) and Regular Income Fund (RIF), according to spokesperson, Andrew Davidson. Davidson, who also runs the fair-trade food company Scarborough Fair, told Good Returns the action group – most of whom invested through ANZ advisers – wanted ING to return $1 per unit to every RIF and DYF investor.
“We think [the two funds] were mis-represented by ANZ and ING. We think a fair outcome would be a product recall, which a good responsible corporate would do,” he said.
While the majority of the investor action group members are applying for redress from ANZ through the Banking Ombudsman, Davidson said collectively they hope to apply further moral pressure to ING.
“As a group we can pull together a lot of common issues... and there is a lot of commonality in what people are saying about how the fund was represented to them as low risk,” he said.
