AgraShares Fund III

Securities Investigation – involving AgraShares Fund III

The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended AgraShares Fund III to investors.

Are Alternative Investments Suitable for you?

Interests in limited liability companies (LLC) such as AgraShares Fund III, are often sold as unregistered securities and lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products. Limited liability companies generally involve a much greater degree of risk compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

Some brokers may have downplayed the risks associated with alternative investments and misled investors into thinking that they are “safe” investment products.

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. According to the Form D, sales commissions for this offering are 8%.

Broker dealers are required by law 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 a broker makes an unsuitable investment recommendations or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses.
