Not that many but enough to give the mms who probably knew this news was coming an excuse to collapse the share price from 70% up to level in a couple of hours.

I can see big things here but it's going to take time and patience. One thing most here here haven't got is patience.

One of the fallouts of the global
financial crisis was the realisation
that many of the more traditional
alternative, such as hedge fund of
funds, asset classes failed to provide
adequate strategy diversification.
Mercer believes investors should
continue to investigate the use of
longevity-linked investments such as
Life Settlements to gain exposure to real
alternative risk premia.

"Mr. Swick is the founder of Kango Group, located in Newport Beach, California. Kango Group is an established alternative investment management firm that targets opportunities in the longevity asset class on behalf of private equity and hedge fund clients. Prior to founding Kango Group, Mr. Swick served as CEO for Life Distributors of America, LLC (LDA), a life settlement firm specialising in the distribution of longevity risk insurance products to institutional investment portfolios. While at LDA, Mr. Swick was responsible for the closing of over $4 billion in life settlements. Mr. Swick spent the previous eight years working for American International Group ("AIG") as Vice President of Alternative Distribution. Responsibilities included developing and executing marketing strategies for life/annuity products in the alternative distribution channels, which included product distribution through broker-dealers and third-party administrators in both the U.S. and international markets."

If an insurer can structure its life settlements holding so that it can be treated as a negative liability under Solvency II rather than an asset, then under this regime it would be expected to:

• Improve its solvency position.

• Recognize a day one release of free assets not normally achieved with “typical”; insurance company investments.

• Avoid any matching adjustment considerations. Such considerations may be relevant should the holding be structured as an asset.

The key reason for the benefits above is that internal rates of returns, relating the purchase price to the expected cashflows for life settlements assets, are usually in excess of 10%. This internal rate of return is significantly higher than an (adjusted) risk-free rate applied to a Solvency II balance sheet.

Not surprisingly, protection providers receive the greatest day one release of free assets from life settlements investment because such insurers experience diversification benefits from taking incremental longevity risk exposure.

On 4 December 2017, a new set of regulations came in-force which will allow Insurance-linked Securities (“ILSs”) to be written in the UK. Insurance companies now have an exciting new set of tools in the box to manage their capital and risks.

Insurance-linked securities allow insurance and reinsurance companies to transfer their risks to the capital markets, as an alternative to the traditional reinsurance market. It does this by using insurance special purpose vehicles (“ISPVs”) to accept insurance risk and transforms them into capital market instruments, such as debt or equities. Investors can then invest in these instruments for an appropriate rate of return.

It is hoped that the new rules, combined with the expertise and regulatory oversight of a leading financial centre such as London, will not only attract this growing business to the UK but extend it to areas that have, up till now, been largely untapped, particularly the transfer of life insurance risks.

Although these vehicles already exist on some off-shore locations, it is envisaged that investors and issuers will draw significant comfort from the rigour and expertise of the UK financial system.

We believe that investors can be attracted to this market as these investments can provide better returns than other, more straightforward returns, investments. And some types of insurance risks, such as longevity risks, are generally stable and well-understood within the industry. As insurance risk is fairly specialised, however, investors may need significant levels of education and support to understand the specific risks.
