Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Alternative Investment Loss Recovery Law Firm Investigates Hatteras Fund Losses
Unsuitable Investment Recommendations May Have Been Made By Allegedly Negligent Financial Advisors
If you are someone who lost money in a Hatteras Investment Partners Fund, you may be able to pursue damages from your broker-dealer if financial advisor misconduct or negligence was involved. Here are the Hatteras Funds that Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Alternative Investment Loss Recovery Law Firm (investorlawyers.com) is investigating brokers over:
- Hatteras Core Alternatives Fund
- Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Institutional Fund
- Hatteras Core Alternatives TEI Fund
- Hatteras Core Institutional Fund
These alternative investments are unsuitable for many inexperienced, low-risk retail investors. A few years ago, Hatteras sold these Funds to The Beneficient Company Group, a company that has ties to GWG Holdings through chairman Brad Heppner. GWG is now accused of running a more than $1.6B Ponzi scam.
Since the sale of the Funds, there are claims that Hatteras investors may have lost up to 95% of their principal investments. Meanwhile, these investors paid high commissions to their financial advisors. In some instances, some may have paid two layers of fees, including at the fund level and the underlying level.
Hatteras investors have since filed a class action securities claim accusing the company’s directors of breach of fiduciary duty. However, with most class action litigation, financial recovery for plaintiffs can be negligible. This is why it is so important that you explore your legal options and determine whether you have grounds for your own alternative investment loss recovery claim.
