Florida Investor Sues J Alden Associates Over RAD Diversified Losses. Our Non-Traded REIT Fraud Attorneys Are Representing This Claimant In Her Six-Figure Lawsuit

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas REIT Fraud Attorneys (investorlawyers.com) are representing an investor who is seeking up to $500K in damages from broker-dealer J Alden Associates. This claimant is an older novice investor and a soon-to-be retiree with health issues. We believe that her J Alden broker Nathan Daniel Goad unsuitably recommended too risky products, including RAD Diversified and Key Capital while overconcentrating her portfolio. Goad is also a Florida investment adviser with the Alden Investment Group.

In her FINRA lawsuit, our client is alleging unsuitable investment recommendations, misrepresentations and omissions, failure to supervise, excessive concentration, negligence, gross negligence, breach of contract, and more. She contends that she made it clear about not wanting to take on any undue risk and needed safety. Meanwhile, her J Alden broker purportedly told her the accounts would be structured prudently to satisfy her investment goals. Instead, her money ended up in risky, unproven, illiquid investments that tied up the majority of her assets. These were investments that paid high commissions to this financial advisor.

Blackstone REIT Investors May Have Reason To Worry. Our BREIT Loss Attorneys Are Investigating Claims Of Losses

If you are an investor who has sustained serious losses in the $59B Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today. Our seasoned real estate investment trust (REIT) loss attorneys have been looking into this high-risk product since it first limited redemption requests starting in November 2022.

An annual report by BREIT stated that it paid out more to investors than it made in 2023—$2.8B in distributions, which was beyond its $2.7B of cash flows. The fund’s performance was impacted by requests by investors to get their money back. In February 2024, Blackstone REIT was able to fully pay all withdrawal requests since late 2022. For May 2024, its board decided to let the trust go beyond a 2% monthly limit order to satisfy such requests. Once a $70B behemoth, BREIT’s net asset value (NAV) has dropped significantly.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Continue to Investigate Peakstone Realty Trust Losses. Our REIT Loss Attorneys Are Looking Into Allegations of Broker Misconduct

For the past year, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) have been speaking to investors who suffered losses in Peakstone Realty (NYSE: PKST), which is a publicly registered real estate investment trust (REIT). It was formerly the non-traded REIT Griffin Realty Trust (also, before that, Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II) and Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT). Over the past few years, investors of this latest iteration, and its previous ones, have expressed concern about significant portfolio losses.

It was in April 2023 that Peakstone Realty Trust REIT joined the New York Stock Exchange. Its net asset value dramatically plunged. There was also a reverse stock split that happened. Yet, rather than these developments benefiting investors, some reported paying more to purchase their shares than what they are now worth while others allege that they suffered a near-total loss of equity.
