Griffin Capital QOZ Fund II: Help for Investors
The White Law Group is investigating potential securities lawsuits involving broker-dealers who may have improperly recommended Griffin Capital QOZ Fund II, L.P. to investors.
What is Griffin Capital Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund II, L.P.?
Griffin Capital Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund II, L.P. is a real estate investment fund formed in 2020 and sponsored by Griffin Capital Company, LLC. According to filings with the SEC, the fund was structured as a limited partnership focused on real estate development in designated Opportunity Zones in the U.S.
The fund reportedly filed a Form D in 2020 to raise capital through a Regulation D offering. As of the most recent amendment, the issuer had raised approximately $170.8 million from 353 investors, with a target offering size of $180 million. The fund required a minimum investment of $150,000, though it noted the possibility of accepting lower amounts at its discretion. Estimated sales commissions totaled $11.7 million, and several broker-dealers and registered representatives were involved in marketing the investment.
REG D Private Placements: High Risk Investments
Private placement investments are often 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.
However, private placement investments such as Griffin Capital Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund II are typically illiquid investments. There are often legal or contractual restrictions on your ability to liquidate your investment, and even if sale of the offering 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 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.
Griffin Capital QOZ Fund II: Suitable for You?
Under the “Regulation Best Interest” standard, broker-dealers are obligated to perform due diligence when evaluating any investment. If your financial advisor fails to perform due diligence on an investment before recommending it to you, they could be held liable for investment losses.
If your advisor unsuitably recommended a private placement investment and you lost money, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you. You may be able to recover losses by filing a FINRA Arbitration lawsuit against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.
Lawsuit Options: FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action
Investors considering legal action may wonder whether a class action lawsuit or an individual FINRA arbitration claim is the better option. Typically:
- FINRA Arbitration is often more suitable for investors with losses exceeding $100,000.
- Class Action Lawsuits are usually pursued when numerous investors have small claims that are impractical to litigate individually.
