Crawford Ventures Absolute Return Fund LP: Investigating Potential Securities Claims
The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving broker dealers who may have improperly recommended Crawford Ventures Absolute Return Fund LP to investors.
Crawford Ventures Absolute Return Fund LP reportedly filed a form D to raise capital from investors for a pooled investment in fund in 2022, according to this SEC filing. The total offering amount sold to investors was purportedly $4,520,000, according to the Reg D.
High Risk Investments – REG D Private Placement Investments
Regulation D, and SEC regulation, allows small to midsize companies an opportunity to raise capital from investors with less expense and reporting requirements than traditional means, making it quite popular.
Often these private placement investments are touted for their income potential and for being “non-correlated” to the stock market. Too often the financial advisor or broker ignores and/or fails to disclose the risks involved in these investments.
Private placement investments such as Crawford Ventures Absolute Return Fund LP LLC, are typically illiquid investments. There are often legal or contractual restrictions on your ability to transfer your holdings, and even if sale of your holdings is permitted there may be no buyers. You may need to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time.
Companies that issue unlisted securities may provide little or no transparency into their ongoing operations and financial condition.
While some private placement investments may make periodic distributions, some may not make any at all. Another problem is the high fees and commissions that brokers and financial advisors may receive for the sale of a private placement investment– sometimes close to 10% of the client’s total investment.
