Concerned with your investment in Starboard Diagonal DST?
Are you concerned about your investment in Starboard Diagonal DST? 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.
Starboard Diagonal DST operates real estate properties, according to Bloomberg. The company was incorporated in 2015 and is based in Irvine, California.
According to SEC filings, Starboard Diagonal DST filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2015. The offering type is beneficial interests in Delaware Statutory Trust reflecting beneficial interests in real estate.
Delaware Statutory Trusts, or DSTs, are an alternative for 1031 exchange investors seeking replacement properties, allegedly offering the potential for monthly income and diversification without any on-going landlord duties.
DSTs are not appropriate for all investors, as they come with a few disadvantages, compared to owning a property outright. 1031 DSTs cannot raise new capital, leaving investors holding the bag if expensive repairs are needed. The investors also have no control over the property, or the ability to make decisions about the property. While the sponsor may welcome feedback from the investor, they don’t allow any actions to be taken by said investor.
Additionally, 1031 DSTs are illiquid, and it can often be difficult to find a buyer when the investor is ready to sell.
Investigating Potential Lawsuits
The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk investments, like Starboard Diagonal DST, to investors.
Despite the risks of investing in DSTs, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.
Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve disputes if a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment. It is possible that they could be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
