Did Your Cova Capital Broker Unsuitably Sell You Private Placements? Contact Our Alternative Investment Loss Recovery Lawyers Today

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) is speaking to investors who sustained losses in private placement offerings that were sold to them by Cova Capital Partners. The broker-dealer was sanctioned by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and ordered to pay a $30K fine.

FINRA contends that between June 2018 and December 2021, Cova purportedly recommended three private placements to retail investors but neglected to perform the necessary due diligence to have reasonable grounds for thinking the offerings were suitable or in the best interests of at least some of the customers.

As LPL Financial Expands Alternative Investment Platform, Exposure To Greater Risk of Loss Also Increases. Our Alternative Investment Loss Recovery Attorneys Represent Investors in FINRA Arbitration

Over the last several months, LPL Financial has been enhancing its ability to sell more alternative investments to customers. These are generally riskier and more illiquid offerings than traditional investments. Many alternative investments, including business development companies and non-traded real estate investment trusts, are unsuitable for retail investors. But, as Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Senior Partner and Securities Attorney Sam Edwards said to InvestmentNews, “This is undoubtedly a way for LPL to join the party and start selling these investments to retail clients to increase LPL’s revenue as well as the risk to its customers.”
