Although KBS estimates that its shares are worth $11.50/share, on April 17 Everest REIT Investors I, LLC extended a tender offer to purchase shares of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT for just $7.75/share. The REIT’s original offering price was $10/share.

Are Non-traded REITs Suitable for you?

The White Law Group continues to investigate claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended high risk REITs like KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT to investors.

Non-traded REITs often have high commissions, which could be a motivating factor for unscrupulous financial advisors to sell the REIT regardless of whether the investment is in line with the client’s investment objectives and profile.  The total commissions and expenses make it difficult for the REIT to perform in line with the market. Additionally, these type of investments are illiquid and it can be difficult to find a buyer when the investor is ready to sell.

Prior to making recommendations to an individual investor, brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
