Investigating Potential Claims involving Briar Patch Investments LLC

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended high risk alternative investments such as the Briar Patch Investments LLC to investors. 

Briar Patch Investments LLC, a real estate fund, filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2016, according to filings with the SEC. The type of securities is purportedly equity and according to the Reg D, the total offering amount sold was purportedly $8,911,702.

Alternative investments are not suitable for all investors, especially those who need liquidity in their investment.  Brokerage firms have a responsibility to adequately disclose all risks before selling any investment and must consider suitability factors such as age, financial needs, and risk tolerance to name a few.

However, many brokerage firms overlook suitability regulations set forth by the SEC to earn the high commissions that these types of investments often come with.  Sales commissions can range from 6% to 10%,  and often come with a 2%- 3.0% dealer manager fee. 

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligences on an investment or demonstrate a breach of fiduciary duty can be held accountable for losses incurred through FINRA arbitration.
