Limited partnerships often lack liquidity because they are not sold on any public exchange, such as the NYSE or NASDAQ. These types of investments are intended for sophisticated and institutional investors.  The level of risk is generally too high for conservative and moderate risk investors.

According to a secondary market for private placements, CTT Auctions, shares of United Development Funding III (UDF III) were recently sold for just $3.00 per share. This appears to be a significant loss for investors, as the shares were originally offered at $20.00 per share.

Recovery of Investment Losses in UDF Income Fund V

The White Law Group has received numerous calls from investors who have suffered losses investing in UDF funds. The firm continues to investigate potential claims in all of the UDF offerings such as UDF Income Fund V.

Unfortunately for some investors limited partnerships and real estate investment trusts (REIT) sponsored by UDF were not as “safe” as their broker led them to believe.

In general, limited partnerships and REITs lack liquidity and are inherently risky. These types of products are sophisticated complex investments that are better suited for institutional investors or investors who can afford total loss of their capital investment.

If a brokerage firm makes unsuitable investment recommendations or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses through a FINRA arbitration.
