What is Grandway REIT Holding, Inc.?

Understanding the Risks of Reg D Private Placements
Regulation D offerings are often promoted as exclusive, income-generating alternatives to traditional investments. However, these offerings come with significant risks and are not subject to the same regulatory scrutiny as publicly traded securities.
Key concerns include:
- Illiquidity: No secondary market means investors may be stuck in the offering for years.
- High Fees: Commissions and other selling expenses can reduce investor returns.
- Lack of Transparency: Limited financial disclosures can obscure true asset performance.
- Sponsor Conflicts: Sponsor-related payments may pose a conflict of interest.
These factors make Reg D investments especially risky for retirees or conservative investors who may require more liquidity and transparency.
Did Your Broker Misrepresent the Investment?
Brokerage firms like H & L Equities that recommend private placements are required to conduct thorough due diligence and ensure the investment is suitable for the client’s financial situation. If your broker failed to:
- Disclose the high risks or fees,
- Investigate the sponsor’s track record,
- Evaluate your investment profile before making the recommendation,
…you may have grounds for a recovery claim.
FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action Lawsuits
Most disputes related to Reg D offerings are resolved through FINRA arbitration, not class actions. Why?
- Faster resolutions
- Lower legal costs
- Individualized awards tailored to your losses
If your brokerage agreement includes a FINRA arbitration clause—as most do—you may be required to arbitrate any claim for recovery.
