Summit Healthcare REIT Tender Offer

Have you suffered investment losses in Summit Healthcare REIT? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

On October 20, 2016, Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. (Summit), announced that it recommends that shareholders reject a third-party mini-tender offer, of $1.26 per share, from Mackenzie Capital Management.  Summit noted that the offer price is less than Summit’s most recent estimated net asset value per share of $2.34, as of December 31, 2015.

The trouble with non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) like, Summit Healthcare, is that they lack liquidity and are inherently risky. Compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, non-traded REITs are more complex and are better suited for investors that can afford to risk the total losses of their investment.

Brokers often earn extremely high sales commission selling non-traded REITs, sometimes as high as 15%. Unfortunately, the high sales commissions associated with non-traded REITs often provides some broker dealers with enough incentive to overlook suitability requirements.

Investors looking to sell a private placement investment often have difficulty finding a buyer, and can suffer significant losses on the sale.

Brokers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor and are in line with the clients risk tolerance, age, net worth, and investment experience.

If a brokerage firm makes unsuitable investment recommendations or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
