Illiquid REITS are sometimes recommended to retirees seeking low-risk, income-producing portfolios to safeguard their principal during retirement. However, contrary to the clients’ goals and risk tolerance, the investments can be misrepresented. Many times such investments are sold because their high commissions paid to the advisors.

The firm is dedicated to defending the rights of investors who have been misled into purchasing problematic securities, including various alternative investments sold by other brokerage entities.

FINRA arbitration is a dispute resolution process offered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to resolve conflicts between investors, brokerage firms, and individual brokers. Unlike traditional court litigation, arbitration is typically faster and less formal. In this process, an impartial arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators listens to both parties’ arguments and evidence before making a binding decision. This method is often chosen for its efficiency and lower costs, making it an attractive option for investors seeking resolution without the complexities of a court trial. The arbitration process is governed by specific rules and procedures, ensuring a fair and equitable hearing. While the decision is final and generally cannot be appealed, parties can still settle the dispute before the arbitration concludes. FINRA arbitration serves as a crucial mechanism in maintaining market integrity and protecting investors’ rights.
