A life or viatical settlement is a transaction between a life insurance policy owner and investor. The policy owner may sell their existing life insurance policy for less the face value but more than the cash surrender value. The policyholder receives a lump sum of cash and relinquishes payments to the buyer and in return, the buyer becomes the beneficiary.
With the recent market conditions adversely affecting investment portfolios of millions of investors, more investors and financial experts are looking at other financial alternatives to help boost returns. While there is an element of risk with any investment, life settlements have generated higher returns over a shorter period of time, compared to other financial vehicles. Life settlements have become popular amongst investors due to the high rate of returns and better predictability of the investment. A life settlement transaction doesn’t have the risk of market volatility whereas most investments do.
Stocks, bonds or other financial investment tools all have an element of risk. As investors, we accept these risks in hopes the investment will pay hefty dividends. Unfortunately, over the last several years, the rates of return for so many investments have been minuscule at best. As most markets are affected by economic factors which are out of the control of the investor, life settlements have become more predictable due better underwriting through life expectancy and medical reports. In turn, risk is minimized and the payouts are larger. A life settlement can be a way to reduce uncertainty, while maintaining or increasing the rate of return for the investor.
Life settlement investing is quickly becoming popular amongst investors large and small. The market continues to produce double digit returns and because this asset class is not affected by interest rates and decline in markets, it’s becoming a good bet.
