Invest US Exit Strategy: Chicago Slums Soak Up Investor Cash

Investment

If you were once captivated by the potential high returns of the Invest US Exit Strategy, you're probably questioning your choices now. The financial world is abuzz with discussions of mismanagement and poor advice related to this investment fiasco. If you've dealt with Shah Wealth Management, Cherish Wealth Management, or invested in the Invest US Exit Strategy, this article is a must-read for you. At CP Financial Claims, we aim to be your beacon in these uncertain waters.

The Ill-Fated Invest US Exit Strategy

The InvestUS Exit Strategy was originally introduced as an ingenious remedy to capitalise on the swathes of foreclosed properties that flooded the US real estate market following the 2008 financial crisis.

With focus areas in Detroit, Chicago, and Florida, the plan was to renovate these derelict properties and convert them into profitable rental units or sell them for a gain. Investors were enticed with the prospect of an annual return of 15% over three years.

Regrettably, this venture did not pan out as anticipated. Payments to investors were substantially delayed due to unforeseen legal complications. Moreover, the credibility of the advice rendered by financial advisors involved in this investment, particularly Cherish Wealth Management, an appointed representative of Shah Wealth Management, has been the subject of much scrutiny.

A Case Study: The Ordeal of Mr. B

Mr. B was convinced by Cherish Wealth Management to invest in the InvestUS Income Strategy Loan. Despite the highly promising pitch, this decision led Mr. B into financial turmoil, forcing him to question the very advice that led him there in the first place.

Check Your SIPP for InvestUS Exit Strategy

If you find InvestUS Exit Strategy listed in your Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), it's time to examine if you should file for compensation. Mishandling of pensions is a severe issue and taking action can help you recover your hard-earned money.

The Role of Avacade

Some investors were introduced to the InvestUS Exit Strategy by Avacade, an unregulated introducer company. Avacade, it turns out, had an ongoing relationship with Cherish Wealth Management. In 2020, a court ruling favoured the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in a case involving Avacade. The company was found guilty of making misleading statements that induced customers to shift their pensions into risky SIPPs.

The End of Shah Wealth Management

Shah Wealth Management, the overarching firm responsible for Cherish Wealth Management, ceased operations on November 21, 2016. If you have grievances against this now-defunct firm, there is still a possibility for filing a compensation claim.

A Broad Spectrum of Risky Investments

The failed Invest US Exit Strategy wasn't an isolated case. Other overseas-based property investments have also faltered, adding more strain to investors who were misled into risky ventures. These include:
