Investor Alert: BlackGold Opportunity Fund LP

BlackGold Opportunity Fund LP  Shareholders may have Claims

The White Law Group is investigating potential FINRA lawsuits involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended alternative investments such as BlackGold Opportunity Fund LP to investors.

Unfortunately for investors it appears that many financial advisors/brokerage firms that sold alternative investments, may have understated or misrepresented the risks and liquidity problems.

BlackGold Capital Management LP, based in Houston, TX, is an alternative investment firm focused on credit investments in the energy industry, according to its website. The company reportedly filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2018 for a pooled investment fund, BlackGold Opportunity Fund LP.

Risks of Alternative Investments

Private Placement investments are complex and inherently risky products. Unfortunately for investors, many investments have taken a hit due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, and some have suspended distributions during this  uncertain time.

Compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, alternative investments are significantly more complex and often better suited for sophisticated and institutional investors.

High commissions could be a motivating factor for unscrupulous financial advisors to sell private placement investments 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 the investment to perform in line with the market.

They also tend to be illiquid. Investors looking to sell these investments often have difficulty finding a buyer, and if they are able to find one can suffer significant losses on the sale.

Filing a Complaint Against your Brokerage Firm

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.
