Paducah, <\/span>Kentucky Investor Sues Stifel Over Easterly ROCMuni High Income Fund Losses. <\/strong>Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas Is Representing the Investor Against Stifel for Easterly ROC Muni High Income Fund losses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shepherd, Smith, Edwards & Kantas (\u201cSSEK\u201d) has filed a claim on behalf of a Paducah, Kentucky investor against Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. (\u201cStifel\u201d) for losses suffered as a result of the collapse of this \u201cjunk bond\u201d fund. \u00a0This investor contends that his Stifel financial advisor concentrated his account into the Easterly ROC Muni High Income Fund (RMJAX, RMHIX, and RMHVX<\/a>). This speculative fund lost more than half of its value in a few days in June, with its share price plunging from over $6.00 to less than $3.00 a share. \u00a0The Fund has lost many millions of dollars, going from $232 million in investments at the end of March 2025 to under $17 million recently.<\/p>\n

Although Stifel did liquidate this investor\u2019s investment in the Easterly Fund before it fully collapsed, this did not save him from losing a significant percentage of his investment. In his FINRA<\/a> lawsuit, our client is alleging unsuitable recommendations, breach of fiduciary duty, overconcentration, misrepresentations and omissions, negligence, unjust enrichment, failure to supervise, and more.<\/p>\n
