Regency Centers Corp. (REG) Securities Investigation

Have you suffered losses investing in Regency Centers Corp. at the advice of your financial advisor? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a complaint against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Regency Centers Corp., a real estate investment trust, reportedly engages in the ownership, operation, and development of retail shopping centers. Its portfolio includes “thriving properties merchandised with highly productive grocers, restaurants, service providers, and best-in-class retailers that connect to its neighborhoods, communities, and customers,” according to MarketWatch

U.S. REITs have drawn down massive lines of credit as of the end of the first quarter of 2020, as much as $61.9 billion, according to FactRight, a due diligence site focused on alternative investments.  Apparently, there was a huge push to gain liquidity to survive the COVID-19 global  pandemic, particularly  amongst retail and hotel REITs.

According to S&P Global, rent collections for the month of May were down significantly for publicly traded REITs. In the case of Regency Centers Corp., 58% of May rents were paid as of May 30, 2020, according to S&P Global.

Unfortunately for investors, the share price of Regency Centers Corp. is down -33.90% in the past 12 months, according to MarketWatch.

Aggressive financial advisors may have unsuitably recommended REG in an effort to chase yield. Investors who buy solely on the basis of the dividend may experience losses as the dividend is cut and the stock price declines in response.

If your financial advisor over-concentrated your portfolio, you may have a viable claim to recover your losses.  Financial advisors are required to make suitable investment recommendations, accounting for your age, income, net worth, investment experience, and investment objectives.  Diversification is the key to reducing risk.  As such, over-concentrated exposure to any sector can be unsuitable for many investors.
