Explore America Income Fund LLC: Securities Investigation 

Investigating Claims: Explore America Income Fund 

Are you concerned about your investment in Explore America Income Fund? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment. 

Private placements under Regulation D (Reg D) such as Explore America Income Fund, are investment offerings that are typically sold to a limited number of accredited investors, such as high-net-worth individuals, institutions, or sophisticated investors. These offerings are exempt from the usual registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Regulation D, which allows issuers to raise capital without undergoing the full scrutiny of a public offering. 

According to filings with the SEC, Explore America Income Fund filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2020 for investment fund. The total amount of the offering was purportedly $20,000,000.   

Reg D private placements typically involve a high degree of risk. Private placements aren’t sold on any exchange, meaning that they are illiquid, and selling your investment could prove challenging. If you are able to find a buyer on a secondary market, you may end up selling your investment at a loss. Further, private placement investments are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up-front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%. These high fees and commissions can make it difficult to see a healthy return on your investment. 

 Suitability Rules – FINRA Rule 2111 

 If your broker has made unsuitable investment recommendations, and you have suffered losses, you may be able to file a claim with FINRA to seek resolution through arbitration.  

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is a self-regulatory organization that oversees the securities industry in the United States. The suitability rule (FINRA Rule 2111) is a regulation imposed by the FINRA that requires brokers and financial advisors to recommend investments that are suitable for their clients based on their financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant factors. 

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Brokerage firms that fail to do so may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim. 

Experienced securities attorneys can help you through the FINRA arbitration process. The intricacies of FINRA arbitration can be challenging to navigate, and a skilled attorney with expertise in securities law can significantly enhance your prospects of a successful outcome.
