Why Life Settlements Are
the Hidden Gem for Family Offices

New York, February 25, 2025

In today’s turbulent financial ecosystem, family offices are searching for innovative strategies to safeguard their wealth. Life settlements, an often-overlooked asset class, provide a unique opportunity for stable risk-adjusted returns and effective portfolio diversification.

What Makes Life Settlements Stand Out?

Life settlements involve purchasing existing life insurance policies from individuals who no longer need them. Purchasers assume the ongoing premium obligations and receive the death benefit upon maturity. Key advantages include:

Non-Market Correlation

Life settlements are generally less affected by traditional market fluctuations, offering a degree of insulation from equity and real estate market volatility.

Stable Risk-Adjusted Returns

While returns can vary between individual policies, a balanced life settlement portfolio generally yields an average annualized return of 16-20%, while bearing a risk profile similar to that of a treasury bill.

Multiple Layers of Safety

Life settlement payouts are considered statutory obligations to the issuing insurance carriers. In the unlikely event of an insolvency or a default, each state administers a state life insurance guarantee fund that protects policyowners up to a certain amount, typically 300-500k. (Similar to FDIC & SIPC)
