Soreide Law Group has initiated a FINRA arbitration on behalf of customers who suffered financial losses in ICap Equity, LLC and its affiliated funds. This comes after iCap announced plans to restructure its failed business on September 12, 2023. Soreide Law Group has already filed a claim against Somerset Securities in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and expects to file several more against other brokerage firms that sold ICap Equity. ICap and its affiliated funds, including the Northwest Opportunity Fund, are currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The lawsuit alleges that brokers who recommended the fund breached their fiduciary duty, were negligent, and failed to provide adequate supervision. It is claimed that brokers were motivated by the high commissions paid by ICap Equity and ICap Northwest Opportunity Fund, possibly resulting in unsuitable recommendations and prioritizing their own interests over those of their customers.
The letter sent to ICap investors on March 20, 2023, revealed that iCap Equity had halted monthly interest payments to shareholders due to challenging conditions in the real estate capital markets. The lawsuit states that private placement investments like iCap present significant risk, being often sold as unregistered securities and typically lacking the same level of scrutiny as more conventional investment products.
Soreide Law Group is encouraging affected investors to contact them to discuss the potential recovery of investment losses through a FINRA arbitration. They offer representation on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no fee if no recovery is achieved.

The lawsuit filed by Soreide Law Group on behalf of ICap investors against the brokers who recommended the fund allege that the brokerage firm’s actions constitute a breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and failure to supervise. ICap Equity and ICap Northwest Opportunity Fund paid over 10% commission to the brokers who sold it which may have motivated some brokers to make an unsuitable recommendation to their clients putting their own financial interest ahead of their customers.
According to a letter sent out to ICap investors on March 20, 2023, iCap Equity LLC stopped monthly interest payments to its shareholders citing the “monumental challenges” for the real estate capital markets due to rising interest rates and inflation.
iCap Equity stated that other notable real estate investment firms have recently announced that they are suspending payments to investors or that they have also defaulted on their loan obligations. Private placement investments, like iCap typically involve a high degree of risk. They are often sold as unregistered securities which may lack the same attention as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds. They also tend to be illiquid and when ready to sell, it is often difficult to find a buyer.
