Investment loss Investigation in Walton Camino Fund Real 1

Have you suffered investment losses in Walton Camino Fund Real 1? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help.

According to SEC records, Walton Camino Fund was organized in June, 2008 and set out to raise over $11 million from investors. The company’s description indicates they are in the business of “purchasing and managing as an investment real estate in City of Niederwald, within Hays and Caldwell Counties, Texas.”

Private placements, like the Walton Camino Fund, are unregistered securities products that carry considerable risk and often lack liquidity. Despite the inherent risk associated with private placements, brokers eager to make a sale, often tout the potential for high returns and downplay the risks. Private placements are arguably unsuitable for most investors and generally intended for sophisticated and institutional investors.

Brokers are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to recommend investments that are suitable for their clients. In order to determine suitability, brokers must take into consideration the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, and investment experience, among other factors.

Unfortunately, the high sales commissions generated by the sale of private placements, often provides some brokers with enough incentive to overlook suitability requirements. According to SEC records, Walton Camino Fund offered brokers nearly 7% in sales commission.

Brokers that overlook FINRA suitability requirements or mislead investors regarding the risks associated with a private placement investment can be liable for losses through FINRA arbitration.
