Investment fraud attorney Pearce and his staff members at The Law Offices of Robert Wayne Pearce, P.A. have worked on and continue to work on a wide variety of alternative investment disputes. These investments fall outside of traditional stock and bond categories. In theory, anything that is not a traditional equity investment – common stock and preferred stock – or a traditional bond – coupon and zero-coupon debt – qualifies as an alternative investment. Thus, the category of alternative investments includes structured products, reverse convertibles, hedge funds, non-traded REITs, exchange traded funds, exchange traded notes and many others.

Alternative investments are generally quite complex and present wide-ranging risk and regulatory issues, including suitability and disclosure issues, limited liquidity, lack of transparency, opaque and often expensive fee structures, lack of secondary market activity, and difficulty in pricing. These characteristics make it difficult for both brokers and investors to fully understand and appreciate the dangers and risks associated with alternative investments. In turn, this makes it difficult, if not impossible, for a broker to provide full and balanced disclosure regarding the alternative investment and its risks.
In addition, most alternative investments pay high commissions to the brokerage firm that sells them and high fees to the firm that structures them (often the same firm). Accordingly, brokerage firms have major incentives to sell these investments.
