InvestmentNews, a publication geared to financial advisers, recently published a list showing how eight of the largest nontraded real estate investment trusts (REITs), which have raised over $30 billion from investors, have lost over $11 billion in value (“Decline in equity value of major nontraded REITs”).
The list includes the following nontraded REITs:

Investor attorney J. Boyd Page, senior partner of Atlanta-based Page Perry, said: “We are investigating a number of nontraded REITs that have not performed as represented, including the eight mentioned here. Investors who have lost money in these and other nontraded REITs may have compelling claims to recover their losses.”
