SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, 19 de noviembre de 2013 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- El empeoramiento de las calificaciones crediticias de Puerto Rico puede aumentar de manera sustancial las pérdidas de los inversores y afectar sus demandas. Los abogados de la firma jurídica especializada en títulos valores Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP, http://www.ubs-taxfree-puertorico.com/, han estado investigando las afirmaciones de muchos inversores que adquirieron bonos municipales de Puerto Rico por recomendación de su agente.

El jueves, Fitch Ratings colocó los bonos municipales de obligación general de Puerto Rico en alerta negativa y se sumó así a Moody's y Standard & Poor's, que ya lo habían hecho. Las tres agencias de calificaciones ya califican a los bonos de obligación general de Puerto Rico en la categoría más baja por encima del grado de no inversión, o "chatarra". Puerto Rico tiene en la actualidad aproximadamente US$11,000 millones de deuda pendiente en esta categoría. Una alerta negativa de las agencias de calificación indica que es probable que esta deuda se devalúe al estado de bonos basura en los próximos meses.

Esto provocaría consecuencias sustanciales inmediatamente. Muchos de los titulares de la deuda de Puerto Rico son compañías de inversión, como fondos mutuos. A muchas de esas compañías sus requisitos operatorios solo les permiten poseer valores con grado de inversión. En consecuencia, si los bonos de Puerto Rico se degradaran al nivel basura, miles de millones de dólares de esos bonos deberían venderse de inmediato, lo que también provocaría una inmensa caída similar en su precio. Hay muy pocos compradores en el mercado en la actualidad, muchos menos de los que se necesitarían para absorber una venta tan grande sin un precio con gran descuento.

Puerto Rico vería también un aumento en los costos para la obtención de nuevo financiamiento, del que ha dependido notablemente durante años para cubrir los gastos de la isla. Esto haría mucho más difícil evitar una espiral descendente, por falta de los recursos necesarios para sanear la débil economía de Puerto Rico con el objetivo final de respaldar la deuda pendiente.

El mercado ya ha puesto una prima de riesgo sustancial en los bonos de obligación general de Puerto Rico. El jueves, el costo de asegurar uno de esos bonos era aproximadamente el 60% del precio del bono en 5 años. Eso significa que un inversor tendría que obtener ganancias anualizadas del 12% solo para terminar sin pérdidas en los costos del seguro. Esto también hace que asegurar estos bonos sea más caro que en muchos países con problemas en el mundo, incluso Grecia.

Todo esto indica que, para los inversores que poseen estos bonos, es probable que la situación empeore en el futuro cercano. Si usted es o fue un cliente de UBS Puerto Rico que invirtió en bonos municipales de Puerto Rico por recomendación de su agente, ya sea a través de un fondo mutuo o producto propietario, o directamente, comuníquese con la firma jurídica Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP para evaluar su cuenta para determinar si puede presentar una reclamación para intentar recuperar parte o todas sus pérdidas. Todas las comunicaciones se mantendrán bajo estricta confidencialidad y no se le cobrará de ningún modo por la consulta.
