If theproblemwas limited tocompanies thatunwiselypro-videdmortgagestopeoplewhocouldn’taffordthem,thenthosecompanieswouldsimplyeitherhavetochangetheirwaysorgooutofbusiness.Butinpractice,theirloansaresoldtoinvestors.Andinthelastfewyears,someinvestmentfirmshavepackagedthese riskymortgage loans intoextremelycomplex investmentvehiclesthatoffermodestlyhigherinterestrates,butconcealtherealriskinvolved.
Someinvestors,luredbythehigherratesofreturn,andlulledinto complacency by assurances that “cutting edge” financialengineeringhadminimizedtherisksinvolved,allowedatouchofavaricetocloudtheirjudgment.Someofthoseinvestorswerebanks,andsomewereinsurancecompanies.
TheKnightsofColumbusinsuranceprogramhasmorethan$64billionoflifeinsuranceinforce,putsusintheFortune1000.Like all such companies, we invest the premiums paid by ourcertificateholdersinavarietyofinvestmentvehicles.Todaywehavenearly$14billionofassetsundermanagement.Butwehavealwaysmaintainedveryhigh standards for the investmentswemake,puttingourassetsonly into investment-gradebondsandthehighest-qualityequities.Wedonotinvestinhighriskvehiclessuchasderivativesandjunkbonds,nordoweinvestinthetypesofstructuredtransactionsthatarecurrentlycausingsuchturmoilinthemarkets.Westayawayfromthemnotbecausewedon’tunderstandthem-butbecausewedounderstandthem-andtherisktheyentail.
