Under the agreement, Coventry will be NAIFA's national Gold sponsor in the category of life settlements.

The National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) and Coventry have formalized a category-exclusive national sponsorship designed to expand advisor education and access to resources related to life settlements and the secondary market for life insurance. Coventry will serve NAIFA's members as the exclusive life settlement category Gold sponsor, supporting NAIFA's national activities and events.

Through this collaboration, NAIFA members will gain access to expanded educational programming and perspectives on the use of life settlements within broader financial planning. Coventry will be a listed sponsor of NAIFA's 2026 FSP Institute, 2026 Congressional Conference, and 2026 National Leadership Conference, and will support Life Happens in 2026.

Members are encouraged to visit the dedicated NAIFA resources page to begin exploring the exclusive benefits Coventry now provides to all members.

"Coventry has long supported NAIFA as a member of our Limited and Extended Care Planning Collective, and we are excited to strengthen our bonds with this new agreement," said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux. "NAIFA is always working to provide members with connections and resources to reach increasingly higher levels of success, and our partnership with Coventry helps us do that. Resources and educational webinars from Coventry will give NAIFA members an expanded toolbox in their efforts to work in the best interests of their clients."

"Advisors are being asked to deliver more holistic, informed guidance as clients' needs evolve, particularly around unneeded or underperforming life insurance policies," said Reid Buerger, CEO of Coventry. "NAIFA plays a critical role in supporting advisors, and Coventry is pleased to contribute its expertise to that mission. Through this sponsorship, we look forward to helping advisors better understand the secondary market for life insurance and helping them incorporate life settlements into their broader planning conversations."
