This decreases the chances of the investor receiving its payment. The uncertainty further creates a loss of expected income.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unsecured_Nature\"><\/span><strong>Unsecured Nature<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tier I bonds are unsecured and are without collateral backing.
