The Risks of Oil and Gas Limited Partnerships

The trouble with oil and gas limited partnerships like Hard Rock Partners 2010-A L.P. Drilling Program, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling high risk oil and gas LPs like Hard Rock Partners 2010-A L.P. Drilling Program.

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations to 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.

Brokers often push this type of investment because they have high sales commissions and due diligence fees. Often the financial advisor or broker will focus 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 and 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.
