An Absolute Return, Historically Uncorrelated Investment Solution


According to Conning Research & Consulting, Inc. (2009) investors often view life settlements as a non-correlated asset, that is, changes in equities or fixed income markets do not affect life settlement returns. Market Overview:
The United States life insurance market is estimated to have total insurance coverage of approximately US$21 trillion*. The value of polices purchased by the Life Settlements industry is considered to be in the region of US$12 billion annually*. We believe that there is a sustainable and rapidly evolving opportunity for Life Settlements to become a significant asset class appealing to a wide range of private and institutional investors.
