Ledger Investing operates in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, providing a platform for qualified investors to invest in securities tied to insurance risks. These investors typically include institutional buyers like banks, hedge funds, and pension funds. The company focuses on private placements of securities, which are sold directly to investors rather than through public exchanges, allowing for unique investment opportunities not found in traditional markets. However, these investments come with a high degree of risk and can lead to significant losses. Ledger Investing facilitates transactions between insurers and investors, offering tools and information to help investors make informed decisions without providing specific investment recommendations. The investments are considered risky and illiquid, making them suitable only for those who can afford to lose their entire investment and do not require quick access to cash.
