What will I recover from the GWG bankruptcy?

As of July 2026, the GWG Wind Down Trust estimates cumulative distributions of approximately 3.912% to former GWG bondholders based on their pre-petition GWG L Bond holdings, or approximately $3,912 for every $100,000 invested. While additional distributions may occur, the bankruptcy recovery is expected to represent only a small fraction of investors’ losses. Investors do not have to wait for future Wind Down Trust distributions before pursuing FINRA arbitration claims against the brokerage firms or financial advisors that recommended GWG L Bonds.
