SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Easterly ROCMuni High Income Municipal Bond Fund f/k/a Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund (the 'Easterly ROCMuni Fund') (RMJAX; RMHVX; RMHIX) shares between May 5, 2023 and June 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until September 22, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit. Captioned Victorson v. James Alpha Funds Trust d/b/a Easterly Funds Trust, No. 25-cv-06028 (S.D.N.Y.), the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit charges the Easterly ROCMuni Fund, James Alpha Funds Trust d/b/a Easterly Funds Trust, investment adviser Easterly Investment Partners LLC and its former investment adviser Principal Street Partners, LLC, certain of the Easterly ROCMuni Fund's underwriters, certain of their top executive officers and trustees, as well as others with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: The Easterly ROCMuni Fund commenced operations in September 2017 and, as a mutual fund, it is subject to an extensive regulatory framework designed to safeguard the investing public. The 'Fact Sheet' for the Easterly ROCMuni Fund states that the Easterly ROCMuni Fund '[s]eeks to provide long-term, yield-driven total return relying mostly on fundamental credit analysis by building a diversified high-yield portfolio focusing on overlooked and under-appreciated sectors of the high-yield municipal bond market.' Unlike stocks, whose price is determined through trading on an exchange, mutual fund shares must be priced daily based on the fund's net asset value ('NAV'). The Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Easterly ROCMuni Fund had marked tens of millions of dollars' worth of its portfolio assets at artificially inflated prices that did not reasonably reflect the fair value of those assets; (ii) the Easterly ROCMuni Fund had implemented a fundamentally flawed pricing and valuation methodology which had systematically inflated the Easterly ROCMuni Fund's NAV and individual asset valuations; (iii) the Easterly ROCMuni Fund was more heavily invested in illiquid assets than disclosed in its Offering Materials; (iv) the Easterly ROCMuni Fund's assets were more closely correlated and less diversified than disclosed in its Offering Materials; (v) as a result, the Easterly ROCMuni Fund's stated NAV, NAV per share, individual asset valuations, and historical performance were materially overstated; and (vi) consequently, the Easterly ROCMuni Fund was subject to a material undisclosed risk of a sudden collapse in the price of Easterly ROCMuni Fund shares. The Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit further alleges that on June 13, 2025, the Easterly ROCMuni Fund abruptly marked down the value of Easterly ROCMuni Fund shares by 30%. The per share NAV of RMHIX was marked down from $6.15 per share the prior day to $4.33 per share; the per share NAV of RMHVX was marked down from $6.19 per share the prior day to $4.36 per share; and the per share NAV of RMJAX was marked down from $6.13 per share the prior day to $4.31 per share. The value of Easterly ROCMuni Fund shares continued to plummet in subsequent days, falling to less than $3 per share within a span of just two weeks. The total net assets of the Easterly ROCMuni Fund collapsed from over $230 million as of March 31, 2025 to less than $17 million as of July 8, 2025. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Easterly ROCMuni Fund shares during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery of the Easterly ROCMuni class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
