WG AB DST: Securities Investigation 

Investigating Potential Claims: WG AB DST

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending WG AB DST to investors.

According to SEC filings, the company filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2022 for the offering WG AB DST. The total offering amount was purportedly $4,730,632.

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.

Illiquid Investments

While there may be tax advantages to investing in a DST, there are several downside risks. Like other real estate, a DST 1031 is considered an illiquid asset. Though you may be receiving cash flow, you won’t have access to any proceeds until the asset is sold, and the program concludes, which could involve a span of 7-10 years or more. 1031 DSTs cannot raise new capital once the investment is made, leaving investors holding the bag if expensive repairs are needed or other issues arise – like a drop in occupancy or rental income.

Further, investors in a 1031 DST often have no rights or say so regarding property operations and, more importantly, no control over when the property will be sold.

The White Law Group has represented numerous investors over the last few years who were improperly invested in 1031 DSTs. Unfortunately, unscrupulous financial advisors will push these products to maximize their own commissions. The firm is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk DSTs to investors.

Broker Due Diligence

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Firms that fail to do so may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
