Private Placements
We represent investors who lost money invested in private placements that were unsuitable for their investment profile, or fraudulent.
A private placement is an alternative method for companies to raise capital, as distinguished from a public securities offering or traditional bank financing. In a private placement, an issuer of securities – which securities can range from stocks to bonds or promissory notes, and other types – approaches, typically through a broker or sales agent, individual investors who meet certain levels of wealth and sophistication, and offers those investments to them privately.
Key features that classify a security as a private placement include:
a limited number of “accredited” investors
the securities are not publicly offered
the securities are not registered with the securities regulators
Accredited investors are defined as, most typically, individuals or corporate entities that have a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, (excluding residence) or annual income in excess of $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse) in the two most recent years.
