Mike Hensley: $100k Investor Complaint at Triad Advisors

According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Michael Jay Hensley a/k/a Mike Hensley has been hit with a customer complaint alleging $100,000 in damages due to unsuitable recommendations to invest in alternative real estate investments. The customers further allege fair disclosures regarding the high-risk and non-traded nature of the investments were not made. 

What Are the Risks of Alternative Investments?

Alternative investments include Non-traded REITs, Business Development Companies (BDCs), Private Placements, Direct Participation Partnerships (DPPs) & Limited Partnerships (LP Interests), 1031 Exchanges, Hedge Funds, and Oil & Gas investments. 

These investments may be unsuitable for investors with a need for financial security and an ability to readily access funds when needed, such as elders and retirees, due to their illiquidity, high risk levels, lack of regulatory oversight, and complex nature. 

In addition, alternative Investments may be misrepresented by brokers/advisors who fail to fully disclose the risks and liquidity problems involved to their customers, as these investments are often high-risk, have limited liquidity, and carry high expenses and fees. 

Alternative Investments typically involve many risks for investors, including the following: 

Illiquidity: 

  • Alternative Investments commonly exhibit low liquidity, often spanning from a monthly withdrawal possibility to being locked in for over 12 years. 
  • As a result, these investments can pose challenges when it comes to selling them, and are likely only suitable for investors who can afford to have their funds tied up for long holding periods, sometimes decades. Investors who want to withdraw their funds early may face high and unexpected fees.

Regulatory Issues:

  • Alternative Investments are usually private, as opposed to being publicly traded. These investments are often not subject to regulatory reporting requirements. 
  • The underlying assets of Alternative Investments are often difficult to evaluate, resulting in difficulties concerning pricing and transparency.

Complexity:

  • Alternative Investments can be complex, demanding a higher degree of investigation and due diligence by brokers/financial advisors than other investments. 
  • Historically, alternative investments were exclusively accessible to institutional and affluent investors. Over recent years, however, the investments have surged in popularity and are progressively becoming part of the investment portfolios held by individual investors.

Your brokerage firm and advisor are obligated to recommend a suitable portfolio according to your net worth, age, risk tolerance, and other factors. If they do not, you may be entitled to a financial recovery.
