Several investors have contacted Soreide Law Group due to devastating losses in the energy-related fund, Spirit of America Energy Fund (SOAEX). This fund was recommended to investors by their broker/dealers or financial advisors, many of whom had specifically stated to their brokers that they wanted to be placed in conservative investments with a solid retirement portfolio as their goal. However, do to the plunge in energy costs, SOAEX has returned -31.94% over the past year. SOAEX has been public since July of 2014 and has lost over 50% of its value since then.
| This fund is described as: “SOAEX seeks to provide investors long-term capital appreciation and current income. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings in a combination of securities and other assets of energy and energy related companies. SOAEX seeks to achieve its investment objective through diversified exposure to U.S. and non-U.S. securities of energy companies and energy related companies which are companies that are principally engaged in activities in the energy industry.” |
