Mackenzie Realty Capital is a private placement investment sponsored by Mackenzie Capital Management, that primarily invests in debt and equity securities in the real estate sector. Mackenzie Realty Capital has faced a number of challenges recently, including the suspension of its Share Repurchase and Dividend Reinvestment Programs, redemption difficulties for investors, and continued instability of its share price.
As of December 31st 2022, Mackenzie Realty Capital’s Net Asset Value (NAV) is $7.38 per share, representing a 26% decrease from its initial offering price of $10 per share. Additionally, according to Central Trade and Transfer, a secondary market for alternative investments, shares of Mackenzie Realty were recently sold for only $5.65 per share, which may indicate further losses for investors. Due to the company’s pursuit of an exchange listing, it has not issued an updated net asset value as of December 31, 2023.
Mackenzie Realty Capital is a high-risk, illiquid, private placement investment. Private placements or “Reg D” offerings can be highly volatile investments, as they are early-stage companies with limited information and are not bound to the same Securities Exchange Commision (“SEC”) disclosure requirements as public investment offerings. Financial professionals and their firms have a fiduciary duty to recommend suitable investments that are in their customer’s best interest.
In its “risk factors disclosure” Mackenzie states that “Our investment strategy represents a high degree of business and financial risk due primarily to the general illiquidity of our investments.” The brokers and financial advisors responsible for selling Mackenzie Realty Capital may be held responsible for any financial losses sustained by investors. Brokerage firms and financial advisors must consider their client’s risk tolerance prior to making recommendations, and cannot overconcentrate their customers’ accounts in any one investment product or market sector.

The firm has helped recover over $600 million for investors (exclusive of attorneys fees and costs), and can help you determine if your loss is due to financial advisor misconduct, unsuitable investment advice, and/or other securities violations.
Potential conflicts of interest may arise when issuers incentivize brokers/investment advisors with substantial commissions to promote their financial products. A problem often associated with alternative investment recommendations, such as Non-Traded REITs and BDCs, is the high sales commissions brokers typically earn for selling these investments, which can be as high as 15%. A representative that recommends investments for the purpose of being compensated through increased commissions, and enriches themselves rather than benefiting the client, is violating securities laws.
To recover investment losses, you do not go through the traditional court system with a lawsuit. The only remedy is through a FINRA arbitration, a specific process designed for these types of disputes. This process involves presenting your case to a panel set by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), not a courtroom. This approach is streamlined and focused on investment disputes, making it a suitable and effective way for investors to seek compensation for losses caused by financial advisors or brokerage firms.
FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is a self-regulatory organization that oversees brokers and brokerages. In the event of a dispute between an investor and their financial advisor, investors can choose to file a FINRA arbitration claim. FINRA is overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The arbitration process is designed to be much faster than the court system and allows both parties to present their case before a panel of arbitrators. The arbitrators will then decide how to resolve the dispute, including ordering the advisor to pay damages for any losses suffered by the investor.
