Dynamic Absolute Return Fund Losses? Kirkland Investors Should Act Now

The Seattle, Washington-based law firm of Israels & Neuman has been retained by multiple investors about recent developments in the Dynamic Absolute Return Fund also known as DARF managed by Lattice Capital Management in Kirkland, Washington. Earlier this month, Lattice Capital Management sent a letter to its investors, notifying the investors that the Dynamic Absolute Return Fund (or DARF) lost over 85% of its value in just a matter of days during April 2025.

What Caused the DARF Losses?

According to Lattice’s letter, the fund experienced extreme volatility in April 2025, resulting in a catastrophic 85% drop in value over a few days. The company has also stated that it will wind down and liquidate the fund—locking in these losses for many investors, including those in Kirkland, Seattle, and the surrounding area.

Elite Wealth Management’s Role

Lattice Capital is closely affiliated with Elite Wealth Management, a registered investment advisory firm that shares office space in Kirkland. Investment advisors with Elite Wealth recommended DARF and other Lattice-managed investments to their advisory clients—many of whom were not properly warned about the risks.  Unfortunately, many investors suffered severe losses.

Investment Advisors and Brokerage Firms Have a Legal Duty to You

Under federal securities law, advisers at firms like Elite Wealth Management must:

– Put their clients’ interests ahead of their own
– Conduct proper due diligence on investments
– Recommend only suitable investments based on an investor’s goals, age, and risk tolerance
– Clearly disclose all material risks

Failure to meet these obligations can result in liability. If your advisor misrepresented or failed to disclose important information about DARF, you may be entitled to recover your losses.
