Investigating Potential Claims in Behringer Harvard Columbia REIT

Have you suffered losses investing in Behringer Harvard Columbia REIT ? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

According to their website, Behringer Harvard creates and manages real estate investments through public and private fund structures, joint ventures and separately managed accounts. The company also offers strategic advisory, asset management, tax-deferred exchange and capital markets solutions.

The Trouble with REITs

REITs are complex high risk securities that lack liquidity and making them unsuitable for many investors. Unfortunately, the high commissions associated with a REIT often will provide some broker-dealers with enough incentive to downplay the risks and overlook FINRA suitability rules when making investment recommendations to clients.

The White Law Group continues to investigate potential securities fraud claims involving broker-dealers’ improper recommendation of Behringer Harvard offerings, such as Behringer Harvard Columbia REIT.

Brokerage firms that sell such products are required to perform adequate due diligence on the investments to ensure a reasonable likelihood of success, and to evaluate whether the investments are suitable in light of the client’s age, net worth, investment experience, and investment objectives.
