Securities Fraud Lawyers Blog
As an investor, it’s critical that you understand your portfolio and be ready to respond to situations that may put your hard earned assets at risk. So-called high yield junk bonds are one area that should raise red flags. Our skilled Securities Fraud Attorneys in Tampa can carefully review your investments and counsel you on steps you can take to protect yourself.
Use of High Yield Junk Bonds
Junk bonds are generally those types of investments that pay a higher yield to investors in the short term but come with a major risk of default. Pension administrators and private investment institutions are generally prohibited from investing client assets into anything but investment grade bonds. Unfortunately, abuse happens as in the case of some of the major banking institutions which folded in the last few years making worldwide headlines. The sub prime mortgage crisis was largely caused in over-investment in high yield real estate investments where underwriting guidelines weren’t met.
