Healthcare Trust REIT Law Firm

Published on: July 23, 2024 | by Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas, LLP

Are You A Healthcare Trust Non-Traded REIT Investor Who Suffered Serious Losses? Our Healthcare Trust REIT Law Firm Is Continuing To Investigate Allegations Against Financial Advisors

If you sustained losses in Healthcare Trust Inc. (HTI), please contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today so that we can help you determine whether you have grounds for a broker misconduct claim against your financial advisor. This publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust (non-traded REIT)— formerly called Healthcare Trust II (ARC Healthcare Trust II)—was closed off to new investors a while back. However, there have been concerns that the stockbrokers that marketed and sold this alternative investment to clients may have unsuitably recommended Healthcare Trust to some and, also, allegedly misrepresented the risks.

With its limited operating history as an emerging growth company, this non-traded REIT was always a high-risk proposition for investors. Healthcare Trust is very illiquid, offering materials by sponsor AR Global even indicated that its offering price was “arbitrarily” determined, and there were purported conflicts of interest between HTI investors and other parties involved. Also, high commissions and other fees were reportedly paid to broker-dealers, dealer managers, and others. Add those up and that means that less than 87% of Hospitality Trust investors’ money end up actually going into this investment.
