Mortality Calculations Stabilize | Better Life Settlement Pricing For Consumers
Toward the end of 2008 life insurance policy owners were virtually unable to sell their life insurance policies because of a change in the way mortality was calculated for policy buyers (Life Settlement Provider Companies.) Since that time many adjustments have taken place in the market and banks, hedge funds and other buyers of and investors in life insurance policies have been somewhat squeamish. Now that mortality calculations have stabilized the market is seeing an increased interest by investors in re-entering the life settlement market.
Where’s The Money?
2010 was a quiet year for the life settlement business and seniors wanting to sell their policies were stuck in a buyer’s market and either did not sell their policies or sold them for less than the 23% of face average buyers were accustomed to seeing in 2008 before the market adjustment. The money is back! As more buyers re-enter the market the prices paid for policies should increase in 2011. While still early in the year and it is still a buyer’s market, more investment demand will create higher pricing for policies and life insurance policy owners will once again feel like they can get value from the sale of their policies on the secondary market.
What If I Want To Sell My Policy?
To get the most value from your life insurance policy call a qualified, experienced and licensed life settlement broker. The broker will guide you through the simple process.

Can I Sell My Term Life Insurance Policy?
As a life settlement broker we are asked by clients if they can sell their term life insurance policies on the secondary market. The answer is Yes. Selling a term life insurance policy is a great idea for a policy owner who no longer needs or wants the policy and is inclined to let it lapse. Letting the policy lapse is a bad option because there is no cash value in the policy. All of the premiums invested in the policy are gone. You can sell your term life insurance policy, possibly for a significant amount of cash. The term policy must be convertible to a whole life or universal life policy.
