Life Settlement Investor Education Closes with Record Attendance

Series of Life Settlement Investor Events in February Sees Spike in Participation

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Since Feb. 3, hundreds of investment professionals have participated in the second annual Insurance Linked Investments Awareness Month (ILIAM) ® making it the biggest online-only life settlement investment series of its kind.

The month-long series of educational events hosted by United States-based Life Solutions International (LSI) concluded with a special event for Asian time zones on Thursday, March 4 at 9 a.m. China Standard Time (UTC+8); 5 p.m. Pacific time on March 3.

Events covered the growing secondary market for life settlement portfolios, the best practices for navigating the transaction process, market history, how to avoid the potential pitfalls in both selling and purchasing a pool of policies, life settlement securitization, market status, servicing and pension plan criteria. All events were web-based and free to attend.

“This year more than 1,000 participants listened to the ILIAM events,” said Larry Simon, president, Life Solutions International. “The large turnout reflects the pique in market interest and investors’ desire to learn more about non-correlated, alternative asset classes like life settlements.”

The events were open to and attended by qualified participants from the financial services sector, including representatives from banks, investment banks, hedge funds, funds of funds, private equity, pensions, foundations, endowments, insurance/reinsurance carriers, and family offices.

Simon added that “Many prominent financial institutions around the world attended the entire series of events, which is a true testament that insurance-linked assets are attracting the interest of the financial community.

“Buyers are discovering that life settlements are one of the few non-correlated asset classes with receivables issued by highly rated insurance carriers and potentially attractive returns. The obstacle has been a lack of resources and education about the life settlement industry, particularly, in the areas of portfolio construction and mitigation of longevity risk.”
