Like any investment, it can be risky. the secured investment contract is a very high risk, very high return investment.
in short, what it is, is a corp bond that is taken out against a company that will insure you get paid out first when the time comes to get paid, ahead of stock holders and everyone else.
it is high risk, so it is possible that you lose it all on it.
it depends on your tolerance for risk if it is for you. if you can invest and not expect to ever see that money back, it might be fore you.
