Investigating Potential Claims – Shire Investments

Shire Investments LLC

Shire Investments LLC – Securities Investigation

Are you concerned about your investment in Shire Investments LLC? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

According to SEC filings, Shire Investments LLC filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2013 in New York, NY. The total offering amount was $20,000,000.

Shire Investments LLC is a Regulation D private placement investment. Investments such as these are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%. In this case, sales commissions of 8% were paid on the investment, according to the Form D.

The problem with private placement investments such as Shire Investments LLC is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. They are also often sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

Investigating Potential Claims

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk private placements, like Shire Investments LLC to investors.

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
