The Risks of Private Placement Investments

Private placement investments like Time Equities IV are speculative and often illiquid, meaning investors may not be able to access their money when needed. Additionally, these offerings are generally unregistered securities, which lack the same regulatory oversight as publicly traded investments such as mutual funds or stocks.

Because of these risks, such offerings may be unsuitable for many investors, particularly those with conservative investment goals or limited risk tolerance. Learn more about the risks here: Regulation D Private Placement Fraud Attorneys

Potential Lawsuits to Recover Financial Losses

Brokerage firms that sell private placements like TEI Diversified Income & Opportunity Fund IV have two primary legal duties:

1. Due Diligence – Firms must thoroughly investigate an investment’s background and risks before offering it to clients.

2. Suitability – Firms must ensure that each investment recommendation aligns with the client’s specific investment profile, including their age, income, experience, financial goals, and risk tolerance.

If a broker fails in either of these duties, the firm may be held liable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration, a specialized dispute resolution forum for investors.
