Class Action Warning for Investors in Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund
Overview
Pomerantz LLP, a prominent law firm, has initiated a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors in the Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund, previously known as the Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund. This action has been taken to address concerns regarding potential violations of federal securities laws, involving significant misrepresentations and improper handling of fund assets. Investors are encouraged to engage by reaching out to the firm for guidance on participation.
Key Details of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit claims that the fund's management made several untrue statements and omitted vital information regarding the fund's operations, which materially misled investors. The allegations indicate the following critical points:
1.
Overvaluation of Assets: The fund allegedly inflated the value of its portfolio assets by tens of millions of dollars, misrepresenting their fair market value.
2.
Flawed Pricing Methodology: The valuation strategies employed by the fund were reportedly deeply flawed, causing a systematic inflation of both the Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) and the valuation of individual assets.
3.
Investment in Illiquid Assets: Contrary to stated policies, the fund’s investments were reportedly more directed towards illiquid assets than communicated to investors.
4.
Lack of Diversification: It was also alleged that the assets of the Fund were less diversified and more correlated than disclosed, which raises concerns about the risk profile that was not properly communicated to investors.
5.
Misstated NAV and Performance: As a direct consequence of these actions, the Fund's NAV, per-share values, and historical performance reports were materially overstated.
6.
Undisclosed Risks: The lawsuit highlights that the Fund was subject to significant risks associated with an abrupt decline in share prices that remained undisclosed to investors.
