Soreide Law Group is currently reviewing potential investor claims tied to possible sales practice violations involving securities brokers and financial advisors. One product at the center of concern is Hines Global Income Trust, a non-traded REIT that has experienced notable declines in value. Investors should be aware of negative developments surrounding this investment, which are summarized in the sections below.
What is Hines Global Income Trust?
Hines Global Income Trust, originally organized as Hines Global REIT II, Inc., was launched in 2013. The company operates as a non-traded real estate investment trust, giving investors exposure to a portfolio of commercial real estate properties and related securities. Unlike publicly traded REITs, its shares are not listed on an exchange. Instead, the trust calculates and reports a monthly net asset value, or NAV, that reflects appraisals of its underlying holdings. This structure is intended to provide transparency, though it also limits investors’ ability to freely sell their shares.
Concerns About Hines Global Income Trust
Recent announcements have raised concerns for shareholders. In July 2025, the company set its transaction price at $9.79 per share, a decrease from earlier periods. The REIT had already reported month-over-month NAV declines in early 2024, with total NAV slipping from $2.63 billion at the close of 2023 to $2.62 billion just a month later. These figures highlight the vulnerability of the trust’s value to market conditions. Non-traded REITs such as this one are also inherently illiquid, meaning investors can face difficulty exiting their positions. Broader headwinds in commercial real estate, including rising interest rates and shifts in property valuations, have further amplified these risks.
Sales Practice Violations
Many investors were introduced to non-traded REITs through their financial advisors, and some recommendations may not have been suitable. Potential violations include recommending the product without considering an investor’s objectives or tolerance for risk, failing to fully disclose the illiquid nature of the investment, or misrepresenting its stability. When such conduct occurs, investors may have grounds to seek recovery through FINRA arbitration or other legal remedies. Regulations require that advisors ensure investments are appropriate for each client, and failure to do so can provide a basis for claims.
