Investing in a sure thing: Life insurance

by Rupert W Bradson » Mon Jul 27, 2009 10:27 am

Selling life-insurance policies on the secondary market is an increasingly popular way for investors to capitalize on one of life''s surest events: death.

Investors, including some major players on Wall Street, buy the policies in bunches, pay the premiums and collect millions upon the death of the insured.

First introduced in the late 1990s, the life-settlement industry has swelled to at least a $12 billion market, according to Connecticut-based Conning Research & Consulting Inc.

I guess we'd see more of such investments in the coming years as also more of life settlement sales from seniors.

Investing in Life Insurance, for anyone ( I think) is REALLY something you should do. However,....the way the economy is now-a-days, how do you REALLY know which ones are the 'good, legit' ones to put your money into?

It's really siutpd to go on a holiday without a travel insurance, you might think that bad things won't happen to you. But when they do happen you're really in a bad shape without a travel insurance. The costs for an ambulance and other medic facilities are enormous..-= Maurib4s last blog .. =-.
