Investor Alert: Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund IV Investigation

Have you suffered losses investing in Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund IV? If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses in a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm or financial advisor that recommended the investment.

With the Puerto Rican economy continuing to teeter on the brink, many of Puerto Rico’s bonds and bond funds have slipped into “junk” territory and some may eventually default.  Most of these investments have already suffered significant losses, including the Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund IV.

Unfortunately for investors, many financial advisors pushed Puerto Rican debt as a safe way to generate income and focused on how the bonds and bond funds can be used as a “tax free” method of generating income. While the investments are designed to provide income they are far from safe. The various rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P, etc.) all downgraded Puerto Rico bond offerings years ago indicating an increased risk of default.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability brokerage firms may have for recommending Puerto Rico bonds and bond funds, including the Puerto Rico Fixed Income IV. Brokerage firms are required make suitable recommendations.  Suitability is based on the investor’s age, investment experience, net worth, investment objectives, and income. Firms that fail to make unsuitable recommendations can be held responsible for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
