Securities Investigation

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling private placements like AEI Income & Growth Fund 23 to investors.

Broker dealers that sell alternative investments are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations. They must ensure that each investment recommendation that is made is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

Reg D private placements typically have high sales commissions and due diligence fees the brokers earn – this may provide brokers with an enormous incentive to push the product to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks of these types of investments. Some brokers may misrepresent the basic features of the products by focusing on the income potential and tax benefits while downplaying the risks.

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes.  If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
