The Securities Arbitration Law Firm of KlaymanToskes (www.reitfraudloss.com) announced today that the Massachusetts Securities Division filed a Complaint against LPL Financial (“LPL”) for failure to supervise registered representatives who sold non-traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) in violation of both state limitations and the company’s rules. Further, LPL was charged with dishonest and unethical business practices. Massachusetts found that REIT sales at LPL contained violations, including sales made in violation of the State’s 10% concentration limits, sales made in violation of prospectus requirements, and sales made in violation of LPL compliance practices. Massachusetts also found that LPL representatives received limited training on REITs. Massachusetts focused on the following non-traded REIT products that were approved for sale by LPL: Inland American, Cole Credit Property Trust, II, Cole Credit Property Trust, III, Cole Credit Property 1031 Exchange, Wells REIT II, W.P. Carey Corporate Property Associates 17 and Dividend Capital Total Realty.
LPL customers who invested in REITs are encouraged to contact KlaymanToskes to explore their legal rights and options. Over the past year, KlaymanToskes has filed numerous securities arbitration claims with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s Arbitration Department, on behalf of LPL customers who sustained significant losses in REITs. It anticipates that it’s filings against LPL will only increase in 2013.
