GWG L Bonds

GWG L Bonds were high-yield debt instruments that financed the purchase of life insurance policies on the secondary market. They were created and issued by Dallas-based alternative asset manager GWG Holdings from 2012 through 2021. The company later filed for bankruptcy in April 2022 after accounting issues, client lawsuits, and a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation stalled efforts to restart sales of the bonds.

Investors in the GWG L Bonds were never informed that the company was relying on future sales of the bonds to pay high distributions to existing investors in what amounts to a Ponzi scheme. Many investment advisors failed to conduct adequate due diligence on these illiquid investments and also omitted important information about the risks associated with them.

Investors who purchased GWG L Bonds through Moloney Securities and other broker-dealers did not receive the return they expected on their investments. It is likely that the majority of these investors will never recover their entire original investment.

Peakstone Realty Trust

PKST is a publicly registered, internally managed real estate investment trust that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of single-tenant industrial and office properties. These assets are primarily net leased to creditworthy tenants on long-term leases with contractual rent escalations.

As companies increasingly adopt flexible work arrangements, demand for office space could decline and cause REITs with a significant concentration in offices to experience lower rental income. This could result in higher vacancy rates and declining property values, which could negatively impact the earnings potential of these REITs.

On April 13, 2023, Peakstone Realty Trust (formerly known as Griffin Realty Trust) listed its common shares on the NYSE under the ticker symbol PKST after completing a 1-for-9 reverse stock split and redeeming its convertible preferred shares in preparation for the NYSE listing. Upon listing, the REIT had a total of 71 wholly owned properties, with 38 suburban office assets and 19 industrial properties making up the majority of the portfolio.
