How Life Settlements Help Investors Meet Their Socially Responsible Investment Goals


Grow the Life Settlements Market to Promote Senior Financial Independence


Life settlements are recognized as a socially responsible investment, attracting investors like family offices and institutions with their strong, uncorrelated returns and societal benefits.


This type of investment involves buying life insurance policies from those who no longer need them, offering immediate financial relief to sellers and potential profit to investors through the death benefits. This creates a market that yields financial returns and provides significant societal benefits.


Access the entire article to explore the case for life settlements as a socially responsible investment, examining their history of strong returns and positive societal impact, and learn how they offer financial relief to seniors facing retirement challenges while reframing the narrative around the investor's role in benefiting from death benefits.
