An Expanding Market

The Life Settlement industry is experiencing significant growth:

  • $200 Million Face Value (FV) (2001) to $3 Billion FV (2003); $15 Billion FV (2006)
  • Overall Industry potential estimated at $161 Billion in FV (Bernstein Research)*
  1. Settlements typically yield 3-5 times more than policy cash values
  2. In the past 5-years, the industry paid in excess of $2 billion more than cash surrender values to policyholders*

Awareness of Life Settlements is expanding as more financial professionals are entering the market resulting in an increase in consumer and advisor awareness
