Persimmon Gully Investments, LLC Investor Losses
The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving Persimmon Gully Investments, LLC, a private real estate investment that was offered to investors through independent brokerage firms and financial advisors.
According to SEC filings, Persimmon Gully Investments raised approximately $15 million from 168 investors through a Regulation D private placement offering. The offering was structured as a limited liability company and involved pooled investment fund interests related to real estate investments.
Investors who purchased Persimmon Gully Investments through a brokerage firm or financial advisor may have questions regarding the risks, disclosures, valuation, liquidity, and suitability of the investment, particularly if they have suffered losses or experienced difficulties obtaining information about their investment.
What is Persimmon Gully Investments?
Persimmon Gully Investments, LLC was organized in Missouri in 2019 and conducted a private securities offering under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. According to its Form D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the offering sought to raise approximately $15.1 million and ultimately sold the full amount.
The offering involved real estate-related investments and was available primarily through broker-dealers and financial advisors who received commissions for selling the investment.
Unlike publicly traded securities, private placements generally lack a public market, making them significantly less liquid and more difficult to value. Investors often rely heavily on the representations and due diligence performed by their financial advisors and brokerage firms before purchasing these investments.

Risks Associated With Private Placement Investments
Private placement offerings frequently carry risks that differ significantly from traditional publicly traded stocks and bonds. These risks may include:
- Limited liquidity and lack of a secondary market
- Concentration risk
- Valuation uncertainty
- Dependence on management performance
- Limited financial disclosures
- Potential conflicts of interest
- Real estate market risks
- Economic and interest rate risks
Because these investments are often sold to retail investors seeking income or portfolio diversification, brokers and financial advisors have an obligation to conduct reasonable due diligence before recommending them.
Broker Due Diligence Responsibilities
FINRA rules generally require brokerage firms to conduct reasonable investigations of private placements before offering them to customers. This process may include reviewing:
- The issuer’s financial condition
- The business plan and underlying assets
- Management experience
- Potential conflicts of interest
- Offering structure
- Risk disclosures
- Liquidity considerations
Financial advisors must also have a reasonable basis to believe that a private placement recommendation is suitable for each individual investor.
When firms fail to conduct adequate due diligence or recommend unsuitable investments, investors may have legal remedies available through FINRA arbitration.
Can Investors Recover Losses?
Investors who suffered losses in Persimmon Gully Investments may be able to pursue claims through FINRA arbitration if the investment was recommended by a brokerage firm or financial advisor.
Potential claims may involve:
- Unsuitable recommendations
- Failure to conduct adequate due diligence

- Breach of fiduciary duty (where applicable)
- Negligent supervision
Each case depends on its unique facts, including the investor’s financial profile, investment objectives, and the circumstances surrounding the recommendation.
