American Finance Trust, Inc. (AFIN), formerly known as American Realty Capital Trust, is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) listed on the Nasdaq focusing on managing and acquiring a high-quality single and multi-tenant portfolio that is service-retail focused, according to Yahoo Finance. Prior to its Nasdaq debut, American Finance Trust was designed as a non-traded REIT, where shares had been sold by brokers to investors at $25.00 apiece. An estimated $1,600,000,000.00 had been accumulated through the company’s offering during its non-REIT phase. Today AFIN is trading at 12.75.
Many investors were allegedly advised that AFIN would provide a safe and secure stream of income for retirement. AFIN dropped approximately 40% in a single trading day after the investment started trading publicly. Accordingly, many investors have suffered substantial losses to their retirement savings due to the alleged improper recommendations in AFIN. Both FINRA and the SEC have issued warnings regarding REITs and the risks involved. Also, brokers are required to disclose those risks to their clients before they invest in REITs.
If you purchased AFIN through DENNIS ALLEN REEVE or any other broker from CETERA INVETMENT SERVICES LLC of WARSAW, IN, please contact Soreide Law Group and speak to an experienced securities lawyer, at no cost, to discuss your rights at: 888-760-6552.
