Investors should be aware that investments in GWG Holdings were likely unsuitable for people with limited investment experiences and/or low tolerances for risk. As explained by the prospectus for GWG L bonds, which raised investor funds to purchase life insurance policies on the secondary market, these investments involved significant risks, including the possibility that investors might lose their entire principal. After undergoing various financial difficulties, GWG Holdings filed for bankruptcy in April 2022, following disclosures to investors that it was under SEC investigation. If your advisor unsuitably recommended GWG L bonds, you may have grounds to file a claim for damages.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Ryan Burnham holds 17 years of securities industry experience. Based in Santa Barbara, California, he has been a broker and an investment advisor with Centaurus Financial since 2006, doing business as Tremblay Financial Services.
