A class action has been filed against Pilgrim Baxter & Associates, Ltd. and certain of its affiliated companies on behalf of investors who purchased shares in any PBHG mutual fund between November 13, 1998, and November 13, 2003. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their investment.
The action alleges that during this time period the PBHG mutual funds and the other defendants engaged in illegal and improper trading practices, in concert with certain institutional traders, that caused financial injury to the shareholders of the PBHG mutual funds. Allegedly, the defendants surreptitiously permitted certain favored investors to illegally engage in "timing" of the PBHG mutual funds whereby these favored investors were permitted to conduct short-term, "in and out" trading of mutual fund shares, despite explicit restrictions on such activity in the PBHG mutual funds' prospectuses.
