GWG L Bonds Are Speculative Investments
GWG Holdings (GWGH) is a Texas-based financial services company that offers life insurance and alternative investments.
L Bonds are a type of bond that buys life insurance policies from the policy holder. Bond investors’ money finances the life insurance policy, and investors are paid when the policy holder dies. L Bonds can offer a higher return than other bonds, but they also involve considerable speculation and high risk.
Many investors claim that their broker-dealers, such as Cabot Lodge, did not inform them of the risks of investing in GWG L Bonds when they sold them and instead described them as a safe and secure source of income.
News of GWG’s bankruptcy did not come without warning. GWG had disclosed that the SEC is investigating the company. In 2021, GWG missed financial reporting deadlines, and NASDAQ threatened to delist the company. The company’s stock price has dropped significantly in 2022, trading as low as $3.75 after starting the year at over $9 per share.
In January, 2022, GWG Holdings filed an 8-K with the SEC stating that they would not make dividend payments on L Bonds for that month, and that the company had approved hiring a restructuring advisor.
Did Cabot Lodge Do Proper Due Diligence?
Silver Law Group represents investors in FINRA arbitration claims against Cabot Lodge and other broker-dealers alleging that they did not perform reasonable due diligence into GWG L Bonds or that the bonds were unsuitable for their investment profile.
Broker dealers have an obligation to understand their customers’ investment needs, recommend suitable investments, and to perform due diligence into the investments they sell. When investors lose money with unsuitable investments, they may be able to recover through the FINRA arbitration process.
