Oil and gas private placements are speculative and inherently high risk investments. These types of investment are complex structured products, that often lack liquidity, and are intended for sophisticated investors. In addition, oil and gas private placements are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore they lack regulatory oversight.

Many oil and gas LPs have high expense ratios, and due to the decline in the overall health of the oil and gas market, are suffering. Some are on the brink of default, or worse yet, bankruptcy.  Such an outcome is extreme, but not unforeseen. It only highlights the unsuitability of these investments for most retail investors – particularly in large concentrations.

Furthermore, the high sales commissions earned by brokerage firms to sell oil and gas private placements sometimes provides brokerage firms with enough incentive to overlook suitability requirements.

Brokerage firms have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence to determine if a private placement is appropriate for a particular client given the client’s age, net-worth, financial objectives, investment experiences, financial needs, and risk tolerance. 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.
