The White Law Group Announces a Continued Securities Investigation Into the Sale of Cornerstone Real Estate Funds (REITs)

The White Law Group is announcing a continued investigation into the sale of Cornerstone Real Estate Funds (REITs). The firm is investigating whether brokerage firms and financial professionals misrepresented the safety of Cornerstone Real Estate Fund investments.

Chicago, IL, September 14, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The White Law Group is announcing a continued investigation into the sale of Cornerstone Real Estate Funds (REITs).

Managing partner D. Daxton White, Esq. and his firm are investigating whether brokerage firms and financial professionals misrepresented the safety of Cornerstone Real Estate Fund investments. The following is a list of the Cornerstone Funds currently or formerly offered to the investing public:

Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc. (Cornerstone Core Property REIT)
Cornerstone Growth & Income REIT, Inc.
Cornerstone Private Equity Fund, Inc.
CIP Leveraged Fund Advisors, LLC (CLFA)
Cornerstone Industrial Properties, LLC (CIP)
Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC
Cornerstone Healthcare Plus REIT, Inc.
Cornerstone Healthcare Real Estate Fund, Inc.

The firm is carefully monitoring and investigating how these investment products have been sold.

FINRA (formerly the NASD) has announced that it is paying close attention to the sale of REITs and, in particular, the ways in which broker/dealers marketed and sold the products to investors.

According to Mr. White, "In many cases, and notwithstanding the risk of REIT investments, broker-dealers marketed these investments as safe and secure."

He notes that, "REITs typically pay a high commission – up to as much as 15% - which in some cases may explain the stockbroker’s motivation in recommending the REIT investment to the investor."

According to the Cornerstone Real Estate Funds Website some of the foregoing Cornerstone real estate investments may have been sold through the California based Pacific Cornerstone Capital, Inc. (the brokerage arm of Cornerstone Real Estate Funds). Additionally, according website, “Cornerstone's funds are available through thousands of FINRA (formally known as NASD) registered financial advisors throughout the country.”
