Complex Investment Products
1031 Delaware Statutory Trusts, or DSTs, are complex compared to other types of investments. A DST is formed under Delaware law and is commonly used in commercial real estate transactions, offering limited liability while holding title to real property.
Recently, fundraising for DSTs totaled just over $2.5 billion for the first half of 2023, according to Robert A. Stanger & Co. and Mountain Dell Consulting. Based on this pace, DSTs were projected to raise over $5 billion in 2023.
Although 1031 DSTs may be suitable for some investors, they present serious drawbacks:
- DSTs cannot raise additional capital once the investment is made, leaving investors vulnerable to repairs, occupancy drops, or revenue declines.
- Investors have limited authority over management decisions.
- Illiquidity is a major concern, as finding a buyer before the property is sold can be difficult.
CAI Investments Healthcare Products I DST: Suitable for You?
A financial advisor must assess suitability before recommending an investment. Key factors include liquidity needs, risk tolerance, income, age, and time horizon.
Brokerage firms have a duty to conduct thorough due diligence before selling DSTs. Recommendations should be made only if the investment aligns with the client’s financial situation.
