Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP Investment Losses

Alpha Energy Partners Drilling Program 2011 B LP Investment Losses, Featured by Top Securities Fraud Attorneys, The White Law Group

Concerned about investment losses in Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP?

Have you suffered losses investing in Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses by filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

According to their website, for more than a decade, U.S. Energy has partnered with high net worth investors and financial institutions to provide unique access for ownership in the company’s oil & gas projects.  Today, the company manages over $1 billion on behalf of their partners.

U.S. Energy Development Corporation raises money for investments through Reg D private placement offerings like the company did for Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP. These Reg D private placements are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission, usually between 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.

The Trouble with Alternative Investments

The trouble with alternative investment products, like Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.  An additional risk inherent to U.S. Development Corporation offerings is also the general risk that comes with the energy market – a market that has seen enormous losses over the last few years due to the declining cost of oil and other energy commodities.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling oil and gas private placements such as Strategic Energy Income Fund IV LP.

Broker dealers that sell alternative investments are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations to ensure that each investment is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

However, another problem with Reg D private placements is that the high sales commission and due diligence fees the brokers earn for selling such products sometimes can provide brokers with an enormous incentive to push the product to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks of these types of investments or to outright misrepresentation the basic features of the products – usually focusing on the income potential and tax benefits while downplaying the risks.

Recovery Options

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes and if a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
