TICs are speculative investments where groups of investors share ownership in particular real estate related investments. TICs are highly illiquid investments that do not trade on traditional securities exchanges. TICs pay investment professionals significant commissions and fees. Investment professionals must conduct significant due diligence regarding the terms and risks of the TIC investments prior to selling a TIC to investors. Like other complicated investments such as private placements, structured products, REITs, PPN’s, or hedge funds, the banks and brokerage firms must provide special training and supervision regarding TIC investments sales.
Due to the speculative nature of TIC investments, investment professionals should only market TICs to sophisticated investors that fully understand the risks and features of these complicated securities. Unfortunately, investment professionals marketed and sold TICs to more conservative investors that were seeking income. Investment professionals often failed to fully explain the likelihood that investors could lose their entire investment and that the income stream could stop at any time.
