The Problem with Reg D Private Placements

The trouble with Reg D private placements, like Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities. That means they lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling private placements like Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II.

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 are also known for high sales commissions and due diligence fees. Brokers have an enormous incentive to push these products to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks. Sometimes brokers misrepresent the basic features of the products – usually 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.
