Are you an investor who suffered losses in Priority Income Fund? You might want to explore your legal options.

Why Was Priority Income Fund Sold To Retail Investors?
Brokers sold Priority Income Fund to customers, including retail investors, even though this high-risk, complex product was not suitable for unsophisticated investors with low-risk tolerance levels.
These financial advisors earned high upfront commission of up to 6% of the invested amount. This has been a huge financial incentive for selling this closed-end investment fund, which is involved in senior secured loans and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), regardless of whether or not they were a good fit for the customer. Not only that but at least 80% of Priority Income Fund’s assets are in junk debt, including equity and junior tranches of CLOs
Why Are Priority Income Fund Investors Losing Money?
- The CLO-concentrated closed-end fund has seen the value of its assets dramatically drop in price. While its initial offering price was at around $00 per share, Priority Income Fund is now looking at a $3.15 pers share Net Asset Value (NAV).
- Unsuitable investment recommendations by brokers, as well as their alleged misrepresentations or omissions of the risks, have left a number of investors blindsided by the level of losses they have now sustained.
- Illiquidity issues have kept investors stuck with this product. Quarterly tender offers and repurchase programs have not been able to meet investor redemption requests.
- While the Fund touted high distribution rates, these were actually a result of a declining share price as opposed to healthy returns.
