Underestimating Life Expectancy could hamper growth of a profitable LS Exchange.

July 12, 2006

Cantor Eyes Life Settlement Exchange | www.iddmagazine.com

In my view future prospects for a Life Settlements exchange will be significantly hampered by life expectancy uncertainty.

Trading debt is not the same as trading lives, Industry players are reliant upon industry models which have continuously underestimated life expectancy and medical examiners who have consistently assumed individuals will die relatively quickly from whatever ails them.

Regulatory scrutiny of a transaction whereby a third party makes a return based on someone else’s life span will also hamper the growth of a simple exchange mechanism, especially as generally the longer the individual lives the less profitable the policy for the third party.

catastrophe year.
