Have you suffered losses in an ATEL Capital Equipment Fund? If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses through a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that recommended the investment.
– The Fund expects to have more cash to distribute than taxable income, so, as in prior ATEL programs, a substantial portion of Fund distributions is expected to be a return of capital;
– The Fund’s performance is subject to risks relating to lessee defaults and the value of equipment at the end of the leases;
– The Fund has not specified all of its equipment investments; and
– The Fund will pay ATEL substantial fees;

Broker dealers that sold ATEL Capital Equipment Funds have a fiduciary duty to disclose all the risks to investors. In addition, brokerage dealers have an obligation to make investment recommendations that are suitable for an individual given their age, net worth, investment experience and objectives, liquidity needs and risk tolerance.
However, because of the high sales commissions earned by broker-dealers, many may have pushed the sale of ATEL Capital Equipment Funds onto investors.
According to ATEL Capital Equipment Fund prospectus, 9% of investors initial capital is used to pay sales commission and an additional 3.5% is used to cover additional offering expenses.
Broker-dealers that have not done their fiduciary duty or performed adequate due diligence when selling investments may be held liable for damages through the FINRA arbitration.
