Did you lose money investing in Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Investor (IQDAX)? Erez Law is currently investigating brokers at brokerage firms across the country who recommended their clients invest in Infinity Q.
According to public records, in February 2021 the fund ceased investor redemptions due to alleged portfolio manager fraud. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Investor approval to suspend redemptions and postpone the date of redemption payments beyond seven days. The reason for this change was cited as that the open-end mutual fund was unable to value certain assets held in the fund.
The SEC order found that Infinity Q Diversified Alpha Investor’s chief investment officer and company founder James Velissaris was tweaking the methodology for counting certain asset valuations, which raised doubts about the accuracy of the reported fair value of those fund holdings. Following this, Velissaris was relieved of his duties.
