The White Law Group is investigating potential securities lawsuits involving broker-dealers who may have improperly recommended MCG Madison Apex Investors Pref, LLC to investors.
What is MCG Madison Apex Investors Pref, LLC?

REG D Private Placements: High Risk Investments
Private placement investments are often touted for their income potential and for being “non-correlated” to the stock market. Too often, the financial advisor or broker ignores and/or fails to disclose the risks involved in these investments.
However, private placement investments such as MCG Madison Apex Investors Pref, LLC are typically illiquid investments. There are often legal or contractual restrictions on your ability to liquidate your investment, and even if sale of the offering is permitted, there may be no buyers. You may need to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time.
Companies that issue unlisted securities may provide little or no transparency into their financial condition.
While some private placement investments may make periodic distributions, some may not make any at all. Another problem is the high fees and commissions that brokers and financial advisors may receive for the sale of a private placement investment—sometimes close to 10% or more of the client’s total investment.

Lawsuit Options: FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action
Investors considering legal action may wonder whether a class action lawsuit or an individual FINRA arbitration claim is the better option. Typically:
- FINRA Arbitration is often more suitable for investors with losses exceeding $100,000.
