Life insurance settlements provide an investment opportunity that is uncorrelated to traditional markets. A life insurance settlement involves the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party. This provides policy owners with a payout that is typically 4 to 6 times the policy's cash surrender value. For investors, life insurance settlements offer safety of principal, guaranteed returns, and are not affected by market volatility like traditional assets. The life insurance contract is a non-contestable agreement guaranteed to pay out the death benefit.
