Investments such as these are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.

The total offering amount was $50,000,000 with an estimated 10% paid in sales commissions, according to the Form D.

Private placements investments are a means for smaller companies to raise capital through the sale of equity or debt securities without having to register their securities with the SEC.

These investments are often riskier and more complicated than traditional investments, and are only suitable for high net worth, sophisticated investors.

Securities Investigation –  AHP Fund III

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly selling high-risk private placements, like American Hospitality Property Fund III, to their clients.

Despite the risks of investing in private placements, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.

Prior to making recommendations to an individual investor, brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
