Class Action Alert for Investors in Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund
Pomerantz LLP has recently announced that a class action lawsuit has been initiated on behalf of investors in the Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund, previously known as the Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund. This legal action highlights potential violations of securities laws that could be crucial for investors who have bought into the fund. The specific identifiers for the fund include RMHIX, RMHVX, and RMJAX.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit is aimed at addressing alleged unlawful business practices related to the Fund’s management and its offering materials. According to the complaint, the investment companies, advisers, and underwriters involved in the handling of the Fund's shares are accused of issuing misleading statements and omitting critical facts that could have affected investors' decisions.
Notably, the allegations suggest that the Fund substantially inflated values of its portfolio assets, applying erroneous pricing methodologies that do not accurately reflect the fair market value of those assets. This misleading practice purportedly resulted in significant overstatements of the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) and individual asset valuations, potentially enriching the Fund’s management at the expense of its investors.
Specific Allegations
The details of the lawsuit reveal several key concerns:
- - The Fund reportedly marked its assets at prices much higher than their actual market values.
- - A flawed valuation methodology was allegedly used, which systematically inflated the Fund's NAV and the valuations of individual assets within the portfolio.
- - Contrary to its disclosure, the Fund held a larger proportion of illiquid assets than stated, raising risks for investors.
- - The lack of diversification in the Fund’s investments was inadequately disclosed, yielding an inflated perception of stability.
- - These misleading practices led to an unduly optimistic view of the Fund's performance, placing investors at undue risk of a sudden collapse.
