FINRA Arbitration filed against Sagepoint Financial to recover alternative investment losses

CHICAGO - Aug. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- The claim, filed against Sagepoint Financial, seeks recovery of investment losses of over $400,000.00.

The claim filed by The White Law Group was filed on behalf of two South Carolina investors and alleges claims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision. The claim specifically alleges that the investors were unsuitably invested in various alternative investments and that Sagepoint Financial only selected the investments because of the commissions generated as a result of the recommendation.  The claim further alleges that Sagepoint Financial failed to perform the proper due diligence on the investments prior to offering them for sale to their clients.  

Broker-dealers have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence on any investment prior to recommending them for sale to their clients and to ensure that the investments it recommends are appropriate for the client in light of the clients age, investment experience, net worth, and investment objectives. 

The claim specifically involves the following high-risk alternative investments:

Cypress Equipment Fund 14

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT 1

Behringer Harvard REIT 1
