Securities Investigation: Virtua Hospitality Opportunity Zone Fund I LLC 

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving broker dealers who may have improperly recommended Virtua Hospitality Opportunity Zone Fund I LLC to investors. 

According to filings with the SEC, Virtua Hospitality Opportunity Zone Fund I LLC filed a Reg D to raise capital from investors for a real estate fund in 2019. The total offering amount sold to investors was purportedly $7,812,637. 

The problem with private placement investments such as Virtua Hospitality Opportunity Zone Fund I is that they involve a high degree of risk. They are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds. Lack of liquidity can also be a problem for investors. 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%.  

FINRA Claims for Recovery of Investment Losses 

Despite the risks of investing in private placement investments, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation. To learn more, see: Regulation D Private Placement Fraud Attorneys 

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. 

FINRA operates the largest securities dispute resolution forum in the United States, and has extensive experience in providing a fair, efficient and effective venue to handle a securities-related dispute.
