Investor Alert: HZ Signature Point DST Losses?
If you’ve experienced financial losses in HZ Signature Point DST, you may be able to recover your investment through FINRA arbitration. The White Law Group is currently investigating whether brokerage firms violated securities laws when recommending this investment to their clients.
What is HZ Signature Point DST?
HZ Signature Point DST is a real estate investment structured as a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) and sponsored by Hamilton Zanze. The DST was reportedly offered as part of a 1031 exchange strategy and aimed to raise over $49 million from investors, according to SEC filings.
Understanding the Drawbacks of 1031 DST Investments
While 1031 DSTs can provide tax benefits and passive income, they often carry significant disadvantages:
· No access to additional capital – If unexpected expenses arise, the trust has no way to raise funds.
· Lack of investor control – Management decisions are made by the sponsor, not the investors.
· Illiquidity – Investors may not be able to sell their interests before the trust’s assets are sold.
These risks make DSTs unsuitable for many retail investors, particularly those needing flexibility or capital preservation.
Were You Given a Suitable Investment Recommendation?
FINRA-registered brokers have a duty to conduct due diligence on investment products and to ensure that recommendations are suitable for their clients. This includes evaluating the investor’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and objectives.
If your financial advisor recommended HZ Signature Point DST without fully disclosing the risks or confirming suitability, the firm may be liable for your losses.

Frequently Asked Questions – HZ Signature Point DST
1. Why are DSTs considered high-risk investments?
DSTs offer no liquidity, limited control, and cannot raise new capital after the offering—exposing investors to risks such as property damage, market shifts, or decreased rental income.
2. How do I know if my broker violated FINRA rules?
If your advisor didn’t fully disclose the risks or recommended this DST without considering your financial profile, it may constitute a violation of suitability requirements.
3. What does it cost to file a FINRA arbitration claim?
Most securities attorneys, including The White Law Group, offer a contingency fee structure, so you typically pay nothing unless a recovery is made on your behalf.
