NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

The Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose that Third Avenue consistently held more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities even though Third Avenue’s Registration Statements and Prospectuses stated that Third Avenue maintained only a small proportion of its investments in illiquid securities and at no point held more than the 15% threshold set by the SEC. When declining asset prices and customer redemptions caused Third Avenue to suspend customer redemptions and place the fund’s assets in a liquidating trust, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 29, 2016. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
