Our IHC Recovery Attorneys Are Representing This Claimant in Pursuing Up to $500K in Damages

Our IHC Recovery Attorneys have filed a six-figure lawsuit against Emerson Equity and Ni Advisors following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Inspired Healthcare Capital. The firm is investigating claims that brokers unsuitably recommended these high-risk, illiquid investments to retirees while earning excessive commissions.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas IHC Recovery Attorneys (investorlawyers.com)  filed a six-figure lawsuit on behalf of a 60-year-old investor. He is suing Emerson Equity, its control person Dominic Julio Baldini, Ni Advisors, its control person Suihock Goy, and broker Peter T. Po for up to $500K over losses in Inspired Healthcare Capital (IHC). The alternative asset firm recently filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

Why Are Investors Suing Broker Peter Po Over Their IHC Losses?

Peter Po’s BrokerCheck CRD now lists 30 customer disputes, all of which were settled for nearly $1.3M or remain pending. At least 27 of the complaints were made in the last four years. The Investment loss recovery claims made by former customers of Po total over $5.5M in alleged wrongful sales.

This Respondent began working with Peter Po when he was a Ni Advisors broker in Cupertino. Po recommended the Inspired Healthcare Capital Fund 5 as a stable way to make money. In fact, it was a leveraged loan fund that was helping to pay for Inspired Healthcare Capital’s other operations.

Po left Ni Advisors and became an Emerson Equity registered representative, where he unsuitably recommended the Inspired Healthcare Capital Liquidity Fund to this investor. Four months after purchasing the IHC Liquidity Fund, our Client received a notice that IHC was suspending all distributions.

Emerson Equity is the managing brokerage firm of all IHC Funds and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs).

Was Inspired Healthcare Capital a Ponzi Scam?

• Inspired Healthcare Capital operated DSTs, income funds, development funds, and limited partnerships largely focused on senior living facilities, as well as companies and real estate properties that provided healthcare and accommodations to older people.
• These investments were misrepresented as stable, income-producing investments, a number of which were supposed to offer tax advantages.
• The alternative asset firm admitted that most of the properties it oversaw did not make enough money to pay for its obligations.
• This means that investor returns, when they did receive them, likely came from the money of other investors, which is essentially Ponzi-like in approach.

IHC products were illiquid, highly leveraged, risky investments. They were always unsuitable for most of the seniors and retirees who were sold IHC products. They were also an inappropriate investment recommendation for retail investors.

 Why Are Inspired Healthcare Capital Investors Suing Their Brokers?

• IHC raised over $1.2B from investors through brokerage firms.
• Financial advisors earned more than $100M in commissions.
• These high commissions came from charging customers a multi-layer of fees of up to 12.5%.
• Last year, IHC suspended distributions and announced that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was investigating.
• In February 2026, IHC and 160 of its affiliates and subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
• The bankruptcy filing listed $1B to $10B in liabilities and noted that IHC has 10,000-25,000 creditors.
• Many investors are looking at a loss of most, even all, of their investment.

Emerson Equity is a Respondent in many of the IHC recovery lawsuits that Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas has filed in FINRA arbitration. We are also suing Ni Advisors and other brokerage firms on behalf of Inspired Healthcare Capital Investors.
