Lightstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. Investment Losses

GWG Holdings Inc. Losses, Featured by Top Securities Fraud Securities Attorneys, The White Law Group

Concerned about investment losses in Lightstone REIT?

Have you suffered investment losses in Lightstone REIT? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses through FINRA arbitration.

The White Law Group continues to investigate potential securities fraud claims involving broker-dealers’ improper recommendation that investors purchase high-risk non-traded REIT investments, like Lightstone REIT. Many investors are not fully aware of the problems and risks associated with these investments before purchasing them.

On November 15, 2016, Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Income Trust announced that it needs additional time to complete the accounting and reporting for the filing of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

REITs are Complex and Risky

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are complex and inherently risky products. Compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, REITs are significantly more complex and often better suited for sophisticated and institutional investors.

Another problem often associated with REIT recommendations is the high sales commissions brokers typically earn for selling REITs – as high as 15%. Brokers have an obligation to make investment recommendations that are consistent with their clients risk tolerance, net worth, investment objectives and experience in the market. Unfortunately, in many cases, the high sales commission may provide some brokers with enough incentive to make unsuitable investment recommendations.

In addition to the high risks, non-traded REITs, like Lightstone REIT often lack liquidity. Investors looking to sell these investments often have difficulty finding a buyer, and if they are able to find one can suffer significant losses on the sale.

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.
