ATTENTION: Easterly ROCMuni High Income Fund Investors Who Have Sustained Serious Losses

Published on: September 5, 2025 | by Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas, LLP

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Easterly ROCMuni Fund Fraud Lawyers Are Representing Claimants Against US Broker-Dealers

If you are an investor who suffered serious losses in the Easterly ROCMuni High Income Fund (RMJAX, RMHIX, and RMVHX), Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) wants to talk to you. Already, we are representing a number of claimants in their six- and seven-figure investment loss recovery lawsuits against the brokerage firms that marketed and sold this high-risk, speculative junk bond.

The Easterly ROCMuni Fund is purportedly primarily invested in tax-exempt debt securities and illiquid bonds that have little to no financial history to support issuance. This makes it more of a junk bond than a municipal bond, especially given that the majority of the investments in the Fund are junk or below investment grade.
