Is a Non-traded REIT a Suitable Investment for you?

Non-trade REITs are not suitable for all investors, especially those who need liquidity in their investment.  Brokerage firms have a responsibility to adequately disclose all risks befores selling any investment and must consider suitability factors such as age, financial needs, and risk tolerance to name a few.

However, many brokerage firms overlook suitability regulations set forth by the SEC to earn the high commission that non-trade REITs.  Sales commissions can range from 6% to 10%,  and often come with a 2%- 3.0% dealer manager fee.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligences on an investment or demonstrate a breach of fiduciary duty can be held accountable for losses incurred through FINRA arbitration.

The White Law Group is investigating FINRA arbitration claims involving broker dealers who may have improperly recommended non-traded REITs such as Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust to investors.
