iCap Pacific Northwest Opportunity & Income Fund – Securities Investigation

The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended iCap Pacific Northwest Opportunity & Income Fund to investors.

Are Alternative Investments Suitable for you?

Interests in limited liability companies are often sold as unregistered securities and lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products. iCap Pacific Northwest Opportunity & Income Fund, and other limited liability companies, are generally considered high risk investments, compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

The high sales commission brokers earn for selling interests in limited liability companies may have provided some brokers with enough incentive to push the product to unsuspecting investors. Some brokers may actually downplay the risks associated with alternative investments and mislead investors into thinking that they are “safe” investment products.

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations. They must ensure that each investment is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

If your financial advisor makes an unsuitable investment recommendation 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.

United Development Funding IIIRecover your losses  – United Development Funding III

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending United Development Funding III to clients. The firm has handled a number of claims involving UDF Funds over the years.

United Development Funding III, according to SEC filings, was formed primarily to generate current interest income by investing in mortgage loans. The fund was registered with the SEC in 2005.

Unfortunately, some investors who purchased United Development Funding III may not have been aware of the risk and lack of liquidity of the fund. The prospectus warns that no public market exists to sell limited partnership units and that investors should purchase units only if they can offer complete loss of their investment.

Secondary Market Listing

United Development Funding III is a limited partnership.  These types of investments are intended for sophisticated and institutional investors.  The level of risk is generally too high for conservative and moderate risk investors. They also lack liquidity because they are not sold on any public exchange, such as the NYSE or NASDAQ.

According to Central Trade and Transfer, a secondary market for private placements, shares of United Development Funding III are currently listed for just $2.50 per share. This appears to be a significant loss for investors, as the shares were valued at $20.00/share in 2014.
