LOF Lincoln LLC, Investigating Potential Claims 

Securities Investigation: LOF Lincoln LLC 

 The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended private placement investments such as LOF Lincoln LLC to investors. 

According to filings with the SEC, LOF Lincoln LLC, a real estate fund, filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2015. The total offering amount was purportedly $3,669,564, according to the Reg D filing.  

The trouble with alternative investment products such as LOF Lincoln LLC is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks and bonds.   

Further, Reg D private placements are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up-front commission, usually between 7-10%. Private placement investments are also illiquid. It can be difficult to sell your alternative investment since it isn’t traded on any exchange, and if you are able to find a buyer in a secondary market, you may lose money in the sale.  In this particular offering, fees and commissions were estimated at 7% for sales commissions and 1% for a due diligence fee, according to the filing.
