Risks with Private Placements

As with any private placement, investments in ICON Leasing Fund Eleven involve risk and are only appropriate for high net worth and sophisticated investors.  Unfortunately, and likely because of the high commission that ICON pays to the brokerage firms that sell the investment to their clients, it appears that certain broker-dealers failed to adequately disclose these risks prior to recommending the funds for sale to their clients.

The White Law Group is currently representing numerous Icon Leasing Fund investors in FINRA arbitration claims against the broker-dealers that recommended the investment.

In addition to being required to make sure that any investment is suitable for a particular client before recommending it, brokerage firms also have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence on an investment before offering the investment for sale to its clients.  Based on what is known about Icon Leasing Fund Eleven, it does not appear that the firms that sold the product did perform the necessary due diligence.
