e2c ESA Bond 1, LLC and the Risks of Alternative Investments
Many investors are not fully aware of the problems and risks associated with illiquid, high risk, alternative investments when they purchase them.
Investments like e2c ESA Bond 1, LLC are often riskier and more complicated than traditional investments. These funds are only suitable for high net worth, sophisticated investors.
Liquidity Issues and High Sales Commissions
Reg D private placements are not publicly traded, so there is limited liquidity for investors. This means that it can be difficult to sell your investment if you need to access your funds quickly.
Another problem often associated with alternative investments is the high sales commissions brokers typically earn for selling them. Brokers have an obligation to make investment recommendations that are consistent with their clients risk tolerance, net worth, investment objectives and experience in the market.
Unfortunately, in many cases, the high sales commission may influence unsuitable investment recommendations.
Broker Due Diligence
Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Firms that fail to do so may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
