What is White Pine Minerals, LLC?

White Pine Minerals, LLC is a private placement based out of Midland, Texas. White Pine Minerals filed a Form D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to raise capital from investors for its investment offering in 2018. According to SEC filings, the total offering amount was purportedly $10,883,684.

What Are the Risks of Investing in White Pine Minerals, LLC?

White Pine Minerals, LLC is a high-risk 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. 

The brokers and financial advisors responsible for selling White Pine Minerals 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.

White Pine Minerals Investment Losses

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 private placement investment recommendations is the high sales commissions brokers typically earn for selling these investments. 

According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the sales commissions and fees for White Pine Minerals’ investment offering were estimated at 8% of the offering amount. 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

Can I File a Lawsuit to Recover Losses?

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.

What is a FINRA Arbitration Claim?

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.

If you suffered losses in White Pine Minerals or any other investments, contact attorney Steven D. Toskes, at 888-997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com to discuss recovery options. We do not collect attorney’s fees unless we are able to obtain a financial recovery for you.

Signs Investors Should Look Out For About Their Brokerage Accounts

As an investor, there are signs that you should look out for if you believe you have a claim against your broker/advisor for unsuitable investment recommendations in White Pine Minerals. These signs could potentially indicate misconduct, negligence, or investment fraud. Investors are encouraged to contact our firm immediately if you have experienced any of the following: 

  • You have substantial losses in your investment accounts
  • You received a call, email, or other communication from your broker’s supervisor or manager regarding your portfolio
  • Your broker misrepresented investment opportunities, or failed to disclose details about investments 
  • You notice unauthorized transactions in your investment accounts
  • Your broker is not returning your calls or emails
  • You filed a complaint with your brokerage firm that has not been resolved
