NFI Novastar Finl

SEATTLE, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Keller Rohrback L.L.P. (http://www.erisafraud.com/) today announced that it has commenced an investigation against NovaStar Financial, Inc. ("NovaStar" or the "Company") (NYSE:NFI) for potential violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The investigation focuses on investments in NovaStar stock by the NovaStar Financial, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Plan"). Keller Rohrback's investigation focuses on concerns that NovaStar and the Plan's administrators may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence to the Plan's participants. A breach may have occurred if the fiduciaries failed to prudently manage the Plan's assets, by among other things, offering NovaStar stock as a Plan investment option at a time when the stock was not a suitable and appropriate investment option. A breach also may have occurred if the fiduciaries withheld or concealed material information from the Plan's participants with respect to the Company's business, financial results and operations, thereby encouraging participants and beneficiaries to continue to make and maintain substantial investments of company stock in the Plan. If you are a member of the NovaStar Financial, Inc. 401(k) Plan and purchased or held NovaStar stock in the Plan, you may contact paralegal Jennifer Tuato'o or attorneys Derek Loeser or Lynn Sarko toll free at 800/776-6044, or via e-mail at .
