BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Jan. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces an investigation of United Development Funding IV ("UDF" or the "Company") (Nasdaq -UDF- News) for potential violations of federal securities laws and breaches of the UDF Board's fiduciary duties.

The investigation concerns a securities class action lawsuit commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The complaint alleges that the Defendants made false and misleading statements including (1) failing to disclose subsequent UDF companies provide significant liquidity to earlier vintage UDF companies, allowing them to pay earlier investors; and (2) that if the funding mechanism funneling retail capital to the latest UDF company were halted, the earlier UDF companies would not be capable of standing alone. Further, according to the complaint, on December 10, 2015 after a published report on the Company's real estate practices, the Company disclosed that it had been cooperating with an investigation conducted by the SEC since April 2014. As a result, shares of UDF declined significantly.
