Unfortunately for investors it appears that many financial advisors/brokerage firms that sold non-traded REITs such as Inland Real Estate Income Trust, may have understated or misrepresented the risks and liquidity problems.

Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. acquires and manages a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States, according to Bloomberg. It primarily focuses on acquiring retail properties.

According to filings with the SEC, the REIT has suspended distributions and rescinded the first quarter distribution that was expected to be paid on June 1, 2020 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2020. The company also suspended its distribution reinvestment plan and share repurchase plan until further notice indicating that the suspensions are temporary and cited uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic as the reason.

Updated NAV Indicates Continued Decline in Value for Inland REIT investors, Updated March 8, 2021

According to Central Trade & Transfer, shares of the REIT recently sold for $9.35 per share. This may mean significant losses for investors, as shares of Inland REIT originally sold for $10.00 each, but the company conducted a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split in 2018, resulting in a final offering price of $25.00 per share.

According to SEC filings, the company’s Net Asset Value (NAV) per share continues to decline.  Inland’s board announced a new NAV as of December 30, 2020 of $18.08 per share. Last December, the NAV per share was $18.15. Prior to that, it was reportedly $22.35 per share.

Prior to making recommendations to an individual investor, brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.

High commissions could be a motivating factor for unscrupulous financial advisors to sell the REIT regardless of whether the investment is in line with the client’s investment objectives and profile.  Moreover, the total commissions and expenses make it difficult for non-traded REITs to perform in line with the market.
