Sierra Income Corporation is a Business Development Company (BDC).  Non-traded BDCs offer retail investors access to private debt, an asset class that typically has only been available to high-net-worth and institutional investors. By investing in a non-traded BDC, individuals are able to pool their capital to invest in private American companies.

Business Development Companies operate much in the same was as REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). Non-traded BDCs having many of the same problems for investors as non-traded REITs.  They are high-risk, have high commissions, and lack liquidity.

The White Law Group has represented a number of investors in non-traded REITs as well as BDCs.  The high commission structure of these products leads to the possibility that nefarious financial advisors will push these products unsuitably to maximize their own commissions.  As such, the firm is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending high-risk BDCs, like Sierra Income Corporation BDC.

Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor in light of that particular investor’s age, investment experience, net worth, risk tolerance, investment objectives, and income.

Firms that fail to perform adequate due diligence or that make unsuitable recommendations can be held responsible for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
