GWG L Bond Investors May Be Able to Pursue Recovery of their Losses
On April 20, 2022, GWG Holdings Inc., an alternative asset manager known for selling life-insurance bonds to retail investors, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after accounting issues prevented it from continuing to sell its products to retail investors. Approximately $1.6 billion of these L Bond investments were sold to retail investors through various brokerage firms nationwide.
GWG sold debt instruments to investors called L Bonds, which pooled money from bond investors to purchase life-insurance policies on the secondary market - with the goal of using payouts from the policies when people die to repay the investors. The company enters chapter 11 with more than $1.6 billion of L Bonds outstanding, mostly owned by individual investors who bought them after hearing a sales pitch from regional broker-dealers who sold the bonds on GWG’s behalf.
In 2020, GWG was forced to stop selling additional L Bonds because of accounting problems that delayed the filing of its 2020 annual report, as well as the resignation of its auditor. These developments led GWG to fail to make interest payments to L bondholders in January 2022.
Upon information and belief, many of the investors in the L Bonds are elderly or retired individuals, some of whom invested much of their life savings. In some instances, these investors may also have additional losses from other alternative investments sold to them by their financial advisors.
