Did You Invest In L Bonds Offered By GWG Holdings?

Silver Law Group is investigating potential claims related to investments in L Bonds offered by GWG Holdings. The company missed recent key SEC filing deadlines and these investments may be in serious financial trouble. In April 2021, GWG temporarily paused sales of L Bonds. In May 2021, Nasdaq formally notified GWG of its noncompliance with listing rules.

GWG Holdings (GWGH) is a Dallas-based financial services firm that offers a variety of services, including life insurance and alternative investments. GWG sold billions of dollars worth of L Bonds over the past several years, and investors are now growing concerned about the status of these investments.

What Are L Bonds?

Generally speaking, L Bonds are a relatively new financial product that purportedly offers higher yields than typical publicly traded, fixed income bonds. L Bonds are sold by life insurance companies that buy back the policies from policyholders. The bonds are supposed to help finance the purchase of the policies.

According to a prospectus published by GWG for the offering of $2 billion of L Bonds, the bonds were sold with varying maturity terms ranging from 2 years to 7 years, with interest rates ranging from 5.50% to 8.50%.

Risks Of Investing In L Bonds

L Bonds are pitched as paying a higher yield than publicly traded, fixed income offerings, but are in fact risky, speculative products. Because they are not publicly traded, they are illiquid, leaving investors with no way to liquidate or sell their position for cash if needed. Moreover, because the bonds are not publicly traded, they are not subject to the same regulatory scrutiny or oversight as publicly traded investments, and investors are offered little insight into the true value of their investment.
