AMF Ombudsman Annual Report 2017

In her 2017 Report, Marielle Cohen-Branche, the AMF's Ombudsman, states that for the 1st time in five years, the number of cases received is in decrease. She issued more opinion than 2016 (+22%) and they are rarely constested even when they are not favorable to the applicant. This year again, claims continue to be dominated by the two key subjects of recent years: speculative trading (although it fell sharply: -50%) and employee investment, although with issues in relation with early releases and allocation.
