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.

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.
