Ledger Investing provides a platform for qualified investors to invest in insurance-linked securities (ILS), which are tied to insurance risks. The company focuses on private placements, selling these securities directly to institutional buyers like banks and hedge funds, rather than through public exchanges. This approach offers unique investment opportunities, but also involves high risks and illiquidity, making them suitable for investors who can afford potential losses. Ledger Investing's goal is to facilitate transactions between insurers and investors while providing tools and information to help investors make informed decisions.
