What is a life settlement?

A life settlement offers your clients the opportunity to sell their life insurance policy for significantly more than the cash value offered by the insurance carrier. Simply stated, a life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy for more than the policy’s cash value but less than the death benefit.

What is driving the demand for life settlements?

The demand for life settlements has seen a resurgence as seniors are realizing the benefits of reevaluating their life insurance strategy. There are strong tailwinds supporting this growth, many of which your clients may be facing.

Rise in longevity risk.
Policy is underperforming or unaffordable.
Reallocation tool with wealth management and liquidity.
Estate tax laws have changed.
Health care and long-term care planning.
Opportunities with convertible term..

Coventry helps foster a closer client-advisor relationship.

Our vertically integrated structure allows us to provide fast and reliable service so you can focus on your clients and growing your book of business instead of the day-to-day operational processing involved in life settlement transactions. We will work with you to create bespoke solutions on a case-by-case basis. And since we purchase policies with our own capital, we don’t require any third-party approvals to make buy decisions. In certain cases, we can even release funds from escrow prior to receiving confirmation of changes of ownership or advance funds to the policyowner to pay premium costs if the policy is in danger of lapsing.

We have the market’s broadest buying criteria and can buy policies that other providers cannot, including cases featuring younger or healthier insureds where premium illustrations are unavailable.

Coventry created the secondary market for life insurance, coining the term “life settlement” to describe the transaction that enables policyowners to sell their unneeded life insurance policies. For more than 20 years, Coventry has been the life settlement market leader, driving the industry forward and expanding opportunities for policyowners. Since its founding, Coventry has completed more than $40 billion in longevity-linked transactions.
