Mackenzie Affiliates Extend Offer to Purchase UDF IV Shares

Recovery of Investment Losses in United Development Funding IV (UDF IV)

Have you suffered losses investing in United Development Funding IV (UDF IV)? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help through FINRA arbitration.

United Development Funding IV is a Maryland real estate investment trust listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market. UDF IV was formed primarily to generate current interest income by investing in secured loans and producing profits from investments in residential real estate.

On February 18, 2016, the FBI raided United Development Funding IV’s office in Grapevine, Texas and seized documents and computers pursuant to a warrant signed by a federal judge. United Development Funding IV also disclosed that it received a grand jury subpoena.

On the same day, share prices of UDF IV fell to $3.20 before trading was suspended. This follows after the Securities and Exchange Commission began its investigation into United Development Fund IV in 2014 and after famed hedge fund manager Kyle Bass alleged that UDF was using new investor money to pay existing investors, therefore perpetuating a Ponzi-like scheme. UDF denied any wrongdoing.

Trading in UDF IV’s stock has been suspended since February 18, 2016, and no assurance can be given regarding the resumption of regular trading.
