RREEF Property Trust

Have you suffered investment losses in RREEF Property Trust? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

According to its website, RREEF Property Trust non-traded, publicly registered REIT utilizing daily valuations using Deutsche Asset Management’s proprietary, time-tested approach.   RREEF Property Trust claims that it is designed to provide investors access to a fully diversified core real estate strategy.

RREEF Property Trust is a SC Distributors sponsored (a/k/a Strategic Capital) investment.  According to SC Distributors’ website, SC Distributors is a leading provider of select alternative investments to financial advisors and their clients.

SC Distributors often raises money for investments through Reg D private placement offerings like the company did for RREEF Property Trust.  These Reg D private placements are then typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission, usually between 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.

Level of Risk Involved

The trouble with alternative investment products, like RREEF Property Trust, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling private placements like RREEF Property Trust.

Broker dealers that sell alternative investments are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations to ensure that each investment recommendation that is made is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

However, another problem with Reg D private placements is that the high sales commissions and due diligence fees the brokers earn for selling such products sometimes can provide brokers with an enormous incentive to push the product to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks of these types of investments or to outright misrepresent the basic features of the products – usually focusing on the income potential and tax benefits while downplaying the risks.

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes and if a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
