Soreide Law Group is currently investigating claims and sales practices of broker, ROBERT SCOTT SMITH (ROBERT SMITH) CRD#: 1412333 of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Smith is currently registered with Concorde Investment Services since 2011. Soreide Law Group was contacted by a client of broker, Robert Smith, who was sold GBP Automotive.
GBP Automotive Portfolio, LP is a private placement investment that is designed to pay distributions to its limited partners. Private placements are available to only accredited investors. Accredited investors are investors that have over a one million dollars net worth, excluding their home, or an income greater than $200,000 for the past two years.
GBP Automotive investors were recently informed that their monthly distributions will be changed to a quarterly distribution in order to overcome the poor performance in 2018. Continued pressure in the auto loan sector is expected in 2019. This could lead to additional changes to the income benefits for investors. As rates rise, the value of this investment may be reduced dramatically and some financial advisors may have not informed their clients of all the potential risks.
