Why invest in life settlements?

  • Life Settlements offer uncorrelated returns from high credit quality assets and represent a unique diversification opportunity for investors.

     

    With traditional and alternative asset classes showing unprecedented volatility in recent years and the shadow of macroeconomic factors continuing to affect global markets, investors are reviewing allocations to alternative investments that offer true uncorrelated returns. By investing in Life Settlements, investors seek to achieve diversification and manage their risk positions. The International Life Settlements Fund provides investors with the opportunity to realize solid uncorrelated returns while reducing overall volatility of their portfolios.
     
    The practice of trading Life Insurance policies is growing rapidly as more individuals become aware of the marketplace. This is coupled with the trend of the baby-boomer generation reaching retirement and the need for additional retirement income rising accordingly.

  • The life settlements market is primarily focused on the US market, as the untapped potential is reflected in statistics that show the market currently around $12 billion in annual volume versus the approximately $19 trillion of life policies in force. The demographical landscape shows how the over 65 population is expected to grow from 35 million in 2000 to 71.5 million in 2030, which will further increase the demand for a secondary market in policies. The existing participants in the market demonstrate the legitimacy and calibre of this market for institutions and individuals. Pension funds, insurance companies, top-tier asset managers as well as individual investors are turning to Life Settlements and the diversification that it offers.

    As the market grows, it is increasingly important to partner with experts in the asset class to take advantage of the opportunities and to ensure that pitfalls are avoided. The management team at the International Life Settlements Fund work hard to educate clients and offer transparency in all aspects of the process.
