REIT Investment Fraud Lawyers Assist Older Investors Against Fraud

Why Privately Traded REITS Are Too Risky For Most Retirees

Not all investments are suitable for everyone, which is why your broker-dealer has a duty to only recommend and sell financial products that are the right fit for you given your age, risk tolerance level, financial goals, and investing experience. Older investors, including retirees, are especially susceptible to devastating consequences from high-risk, unsuitable investment recommendations. If you are a retiree who suffered significant financial losses that you suspect may be due to broker misconduct or negligence, you should contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas REIT Investment Fraud Lawyers (InvestorLawyers.com) today.

Texas Bankruptcy Judge Approves New Chapter 11 Financing Option for GWG Holdings

Published on: August 25, 2022 | by Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas, LLP

New Financing Package Is Still No Guarantee of Financial Recovery for 27,000 L Bond Investors

The Texas Southern Bankruptcy Court has approved a new debtor-in-possession financing package for GWG Holdings. The alternative asset firm, which sold $1.6B of L Bonds to investors, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April 2022. Not long after, a judge at the US Bankruptcy Court in Houston allowed GWG to borrow a $10M emergency loan from National Founders LP to avoid immediate liquidation.

This new verbally approved financing package is for $65M and offers the option to sell GWG’s life insurance asset portfolio for at least $610M—that’s $1B less than what L Bond investors are owed. It takes the place of another $65M financing package deal, includes lower interest rates and fees, and provides other protections. The loan is to be issued by Chapford SMA Partnership LP.
