Keppel-KBS US REIT Securities Investigation

Did your broker recommend an investment in Keppel-KBS US REIT?

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving broker dealers and financial advisors who may have unsuitably recommended Keppel-KBS US REIT to investors. 

Keppel-KBS US REIT, an office REIT with properties located in the United States (US),  invests in a diversified portfolio of commercial and real estate assets.  Keppel-KBS US REIT is managed by Keppel-KBS US REIT Management Pte. Ltd., which is jointly owned by Keppel Capital Holdings (Keppel Capital) and KBS Pacific Advisors (KPA). The company reportedly filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2017 in a private placement offering.

Private Placement investments such as this one are generally speculative, high risk investments and due to these risks are often unsuitable for many investors. Despite?the risks of investing in alternative investments, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.

Since they are generally not traded on any exchange, private placement offerings are typically illiquid investments. There are often legal or contractual restrictions on your ability to transfer your holdings, and even if sale of your holdings is permitted there may be no buyers. You may need to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time.

While some private placement investments may make periodic distributions, others may not make any.
