The problem with limited partnerships like those offered by Aequitas are they are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and lack the same regulatory oversight as other investment products. Limited partnerships are speculative ventures that often lack liquidity. Due to the high degree of risk associated with limited partnerships they should be undertake only by individuals who can risk total loss of their investment. In addition, limited partnerships typically offer high commission fees sometimes 3-4x higher than more traditional investments, like mutual funds or bonds.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms and financial advisors may have for improperly recommending Aequitas investments.

Brokerage firms have a responsibility to recommend securities products that are consistent with each individual client’s age, net-worth, investment objectives, financial needs, and risk tolerance. Unfortunately, some firms overlook suitability requirements and industry regulations when offering limited partnerships.
