GPB Capital Holdings Investor Claims
Private placements can be illiquid, risky investments and are not for every kind of investor especially investors that are inexperienced, have a low tolerance for risk, conservative investment goals, and/or a modest portfolio. Many older retail investors especially are often more suited to conservative, low risk investments.

Instead, private placements are generally more suitable for sophisticated investors, including experienced high net worth individual investors, institutional investors, accredited investors wanting risky investments, and other investors that don’t need to be able to access their funds right away. However, private placements are popular with brokerage firms and their brokers because of their usually high commission fees.

That said, both retail investors and sophisticated investors can still be subject to losses sustained due to private placement fraud.
