After twenty years in the industry, the industry cycle looks to me just like it looked last time and the time before.

Is this (really) a surprise?

Suit Reveals Fraudulent Scheme in Life Settlement Industry | www.oag.state.ny.us

Considering the nature of the life settlement deals is anchored in arbitrage, this secondary market is filling a gap between the insurance industry and capital markets. However, given the growth of the industry - the estimated market size in 2015 is around 130 billion dollars - there will be players that are willing to go the 'extra mile' in order to get more business. In particular, it is not unusual that life settlement companies to participate in 'co-brokering fees' with brokers that are supposed to represent the interests of the policy holders - especially when the commision is 50% or more of what the (former) insured received.

Underestimating Life Expectancy could hamper growth of a profitable LS Exchange.

July 12, 2006

Cantor Eyes Life Settlement Exchange | www.iddmagazine.com

In my view future prospects for a Life Settlements exchange will be significantly hampered by life expectancy uncertainty.

Trading debt is not the same as trading lives, Industry players are reliant upon industry models which have continuously underestimated life expectancy and medical examiners who have consistently assumed individuals will die relatively quickly from whatever ails them.

Regulatory scrutiny of a transaction whereby a third party makes a return based on someone else’s life span will also hamper the growth of a simple exchange mechanism, especially as generally the longer the individual lives the less profitable the policy for the third party.
