Investors Can Take Action on Easterly ROCMuni Fund Mismanagement
In a significant development for investors affected by the Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund (also known as RMHIX, RMHVX, RMJAX), the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith has extended an invitation for those who have suffered financial losses to spearhead a class action lawsuit against the fund's management. This opportunity emerges for investors who believe that they were misled regarding the fund's financial practices and the valuation methods used for its assets.
The Legal Grounds for the Lawsuit
The lawsuit highlights several allegations against the fund. According to the complaint, from July 29, 2022 to June 12, 2025, the fund's management reportedly failed to disclose vital information that significantly inflated the perceived value of its assets. Key points from the allegations include:
1.
Artificially Inflated Valuations: The fund supposedly marked tens of millions of dollars' worth of its portfolio assets at inflated prices, which did not accurately reflect market conditions.
2.
Flawed Pricing Methodology: Investors were not informed that the fund utilized a pricing and valuation methodology that, fundamentally flawed, inflated its net asset value (NAV) and the valuations of individual assets.
3.
Investment in Illiquid Assets: The fund allegedly invested more heavily in illiquid assets than was disclosed, introducing additional risk to its portfolio.
4.
Correlation Misrepresentation: It was claimed that the correlation of the fund's assets and their lack of diversification were misrepresented in the offering materials.
5.
Misleading Statements: Defendants made positive statements about the fund's business and growth prospects, which, as per the allegations, lacked a reasonable basis at all times.
These missteps have raised concerns about the financial well-being of the fund, leading to significant losses for many investors. As such, individuals who believe they are eligible to participate are encouraged to act quickly due to legal deadlines associated with class action lawsuits.
