Healthcare Trust Inc. REIT Investment Losses – Investors May Have Right to File Claim

Healthcare Trust Inc. is a publicly registered non-traded REIT (real estate investment trust) that was sponsored by AR Global. Healthcare Trust Inc. was originally known as American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II, Inc. Healthcare Trust was a high risk investment, and it should have only been recommended to investors who could afford a complete loss of their investment. Brokers and brokerage firms who did not conduct appropriate due diligence or unsuitably recommended their clients invest in Healthcare Trust Inc. may be liable for losses suffered by investors

Shares of Healthcare Trust Inc. REIT could be worth as little as $5 or less. Shares of Healthcare Trust Inc. originally sold for $25.00 per share. According to trading data from secondary market sources, shares of Healthcare Trust Inc. REIT have sold for as little as $5 per share or less in 2021, which would represent an 80% decline from the initial share price. According to DI Wire  the most recently declared net asset value was $14.50 per share. Even if the NAV was accurate, this could represent a decline of over 40% of the investor’s principal. Whether the loss is 40% or 80%, such a loss is a devastating decline particularly compared to the broad stock markets or even diversified traded REIT Index Funds both of which have experienced significant gains over the same time period.

 Healthcare Trust Inc. was originally offered as an emerging growth company. As such, it was subject to significant risks including:

  1. Brokers who sold the investment and the dealer managers received upfront fees or commissions of 10% of the investor’s investment. Once AR Global’s offering expenses and other fees were factored in, only approximately 86.7% of the investors money actually went towards investing in properties.
  2. Healthcare Trust had a limited operating history
  3. No public market existed for shares of their common stock and the invest could remain illiquid indefinitely
  4. According to the offering materials AR Global admitted it “established the offering price on an arbitrary basis; as a result, the actual value of your investment may be substantially less than what you pay”
  5. There were substantial conflicts among the interests of our investors, our interests and the interests of our advisor, sponsor, dealer manager and our and their respective affiliates, which could result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders. This included the fact that AR Global was the sponsor of nine other publicly offered programs.
