Burke Solar Investments LLC – Investigation into Private Placement Offerings
The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving Burke Solar Investments LLC, a private placement investment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation D, Rule 506(b).
According to Form D filings, Burke Solar Investments LLC, based in Fayetteville, Georgia, sought to raise approximately $13.1 million through an exempt securities offering. As of the filing, more than 160 investors had participated, with nearly $12.9 million reportedly sold. Broker-dealers involved in selling the offering include firms such as G.A. Repple & Company, Titan Securities, Great Point Capital, Alexander Capital, and others.
While investments in renewable energy projects may sound appealing, private placements like Burke Solar Investments LLC carry significant risks for retail investors.
The Risks of Private Placement Investments
Private placements are typically sold as Regulation D offerings, which are exempt from SEC registration. While this allows companies to raise capital more quickly, it also means these investments are not subject to the same level of regulatory oversight, transparency, or reporting as publicly traded securities.
Common risks of private placement investments include:
- Liquidity Concerns – These securities are often illiquid and cannot easily be sold or traded.
- High Commissions – Broker-dealers may earn commissions of 7–10% or more, which can create conflicts of interest.
- Lack of Due Diligence – Some brokerage firms may fail to adequately vet the issuer’s business model, financial projections, or management background.
- Risk of Total Loss – Since many private placements involve speculative ventures, investors may lose their entire principal.
Broker Due Diligence and Investor Claims
FINRA rules require brokerage firms to perform reasonable due diligence before recommending private placement securities to their clients. They must ensure that the investment is suitable for each individual investor, considering factors such as age, financial situation, investment experience, and risk tolerance.
If a broker or firm improperly recommended Burke Solar Investments LLC, investors may be able to pursue claims through FINRA arbitration. This process provides a forum for investors to recover damages against brokerage firms for unsuitable investment recommendations, misrepresentations, or failure to conduct adequate due diligence.
