What Is GWG Holdings and What Are L Bonds?
GWG Holdings, Inc. is a financial services firm based in Dallas, Texas. It owns a diverse portfolio of life insurance policies, according to its website. As of September 2021, the portfolio was estimated at $1.8 billion in “face value of life insurance policy benefits.”
Products offered by GWG Holdings included the sale of L Bonds, which are publicly registered, non-traded corporate bonds. Investment in L bonds is speculative with a high degree of risk and are unsuitable for most investors. The company acknowledges in their SEC filings there is no established trading market for the L Bonds they issued and that investors may be unable to resell them. Debt securities, such as the L Bonds issued by GWG Holdings, are often subjected to market disruptions that can result in “substantial price volatility.”
Signs of Trouble for GWG Holdings
The company showed signs of trouble over the past two years, as they faced potential delisting from NASDAQ for non-compliance with listing requirements. In December 2021, the company issued a press release stating that it had completed its financial filings and was resuming its L Bond offering. At that time, the company acknowledged “substantial doubt” whether it could meet its obligations over the next year due to an inability to raise capital, recurring losses, and an SEC investigation.
In early 2022, the company announced that it would be pausing L Bond sales and would not be making “monthly interest and maturity payments.” Shortly after, GWG Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as part of a restructuring process. It is doubtful whether GWG L Bond investors will be able to recover losses through the company due to the bankruptcy proceedings.
