Did You Lose Money With Kenneth W. Hast As Your Stockbroker?
Pending FINRA arbitration Case No. 25-0242 was filed in November 2025, by a customer of Realta Equities and Titan Securities, alleging that Mr. Hast engaged in serious supervisory failures and allowed investment allocations in alternative investments far exceeding a suitable level.
Excessive concentrations in alternative investments can expose investors to heightened liquidity risk, volatility, and potential losses, especially when those products include private placements, DPPs/LP interests, REITs, or other non-traditional assets.
Alternative Investments: These are assets that are not stocks, bonds or cash. Alternative investments generally fall within five categories: hedge funds, private capital, natural resources (oil and gas, energy), real estate (REITs) and infrastructure. They are typically less liquid that conventional investments, less regulated with higher fees and generally higher risk. For more investigations involving Alternative Investments, see this.
