Mr. Garamendi documented the growth and collapse of the life insurance company, which relied on investments in high yield junk bonds to finance the high yields on its products. Executive Life had invested $6.4 billion in the junk bond market, 60 percent of its assets. Following the collapse of the junk bond market, and the subsequent collapse of Executive Life Insurance Company, 200,000 policy holders in Executive Life are unsure of their insurance coverage. Mr. Garamendi said some or all Executive Life Insurance policy holders may have to take a loss if the company can be saved. The committee examined the regulatory policies that failed in the collapse of the Executive Life Insurance Company, the methods being used to attempt to restructure the company, and methods that may prevent similar collapses in the future.
