The real estate investment trust saw its shares drop almost 3% on August 6, 2024 as the lock-up period for legacy non-traded REIT shareholders concluded. A product of the merger between Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, and American Healthcare Investors, in February 2024, AHR arrived on the New York Stock Exchange with a 56 million share/IPO at $12/share. Meanwhile, legacy investors had purchased their 66 million shares for $40/share. (American Healthcare REIT’s estimated net asset value (NAV) for Class I and Class T common stock in March 2023 following a 4-1 reverse stock split was $31.40/share. )

This real estate investment trust has a portfolio made up of medical office buildings, skilled nursing facilities, senior housing, and hospitals collectively valued last September 2023 at about $4.6B. Earlier this year, Comrit made a third-party tender offer looking to buy 228,136 of the REIT’s shares at a reduction.

What Is Non-Traded REIT and How Can It Lead To Losses for Kentucky Investors?

Are You A Healthcare Trust Non-Traded REIT Investor Who Suffered Serious Losses? Our Healthcare Trust REIT Law Firm Is Continuing To Investigate Allegations Against Financial Advisors

If you sustained losses in Healthcare Trust Inc. (HTI), please contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today so that we can help you determine whether you have grounds for a broker misconduct claim against your financial advisor. This publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust (non-traded REIT)— formerly called Healthcare Trust II (ARC Healthcare Trust II)—was closed off to new investors a while back. However, there have been concerns that the stockbrokers that marketed and sold this alternative investment to clients may have unsuitably recommended Healthcare Trust to some and, also, allegedly misrepresented the risks.

With its limited operating history as an emerging growth company, this non-traded REIT was always a high-risk proposition for investors.  Healthcare Trust is very illiquid, offering materials by sponsor AR Global even indicated that its offering price was “arbitrarily” determined, and there were purported conflicts of interest between HTI investors and other parties involved. Also, high commissions and other fees were reportedly paid to broker-dealers, dealer managers, and others. Add those up and that means that less than 87% of Hospitality Trust investors’ money end up actually going into this investment.
