Securities Investigation

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending United Development Funding III to clients. The firm has handled a number of claims involving UDF Funds over the years. In those claims, the firm has alleged, among other things, that the UDF investments were:

• High-risk and unsuitable for our clients given their financial situation, needs and investment objectives,
• The risks of the investment were not fully disclosed to them
• The brokerage firms that sold the investments failed to conduct the proper due diligence with respect to the UDF investments.

Secondary Market for UDF Funds

Limited partnerships often lack liquidity because they are not sold on any public exchange, such as the NYSE or NASDAQ. These types of investments are intended for sophisticated and institutional investors.  The level of risk is generally too high for conservative and moderate risk investors.

According to Central Trade and Transfer, a secondary market for private placements, shares of United Development Funding III are currently listed for just $2.50 per share. This appears to be a significant loss for investors, as the shares were valued at $20.00/share in 2014.
