Hybrid Security product for Solv II

Extract from Dirk Lohman on a AON Securities ILS Report interview dated Sept 2018

Last, not least, I think that the Solvency II framework provides opportunities to develop an insurance-linked hybrid form of capital to provide insurance companies with out of the money capital to protect them against a dramatic movement in claims or reserve development across their entire portfolio (whole account) or for specific lines of business.

Groundbreaking research shows secondary life insurance market benefits both

Powerful new research based on a study of more than 9,000 life insurance policies, reveals that Americans who sold their unwanted life insurance policies, collectively received more than four times the amount they would have received had they surrendered them to their life insurance companies.

The study of insurance policies with an aggregate death benefit in excess of $24 billion will be presented today by Professor Narayan Naik, at an event at London Business School.

Narayan Naik, Professor of Finance, London Business School, says: “The evidence suggests that the life settlement market has helped significantly in enhancing the welfare of policy-owners who, instead of surrendering, sold their life insurance policies in the secondary market”.

The study also found that the average expected return for qualified, institutional investors purchasing the large sample of life settlements was 12.5% per annum, which was 8.4% in excess of treasury yields. During recent years, the study found that the average expected return had risen substantially to 18.3% per annum in 2011, some 15.9% in excess of treasury yields.

As the expected return depends critically on the life expectancy of the insured, the independent and comprehensive study conducted sensitivity analysis. It found that even if you assumed life expectancy estimates had been understated by three years, investors purchasing this sample of life settlements could still have expected a positive return of 3.2% per annum.

Given the expected return and the fact that longevity risk is largely uncorrelated with other financial markets, Professor Naik’s concludes: “The life settlement option appears to be an interesting investment opportunity for institutional investors willing to include longevity risk in their portfolio and to commit capital for the medium term.”

Furthermore, the study also highlighted that the additional source of tax revenue the market provides to the government could potentially be used to fund socially beneficial welfare programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.

The research has been welcomed by the European Life Settlement Association (ELSA).

Simon Erritt, Chair, ELSA, said: “ELSA welcomes this groundbreaking research and the spirit of transparency and openness that lies behind it, and believes that further collaboration between the market and the academic community will help cement the industry’s growing reputation as a socially-responsible and financially-compelling alternative to traditional investment asset classes.”

Looking GRIM Leaking BoatPLACING AHOY

[cyberbub] 07/12/2018 13:11

Euclid yes that's what the admission document said specifically - they will not be investing in SLS policies themselves, but will be taking on policies to manage, for a commission. So no dilution involved. You seem to have gone a bit negative on this share recently?

[richardjohn10] 07/12/2018 12:33

Lack of news that is allEverything else is hear sayNo worries for Long term holders

[euclid5] 07/12/2018 10:43

well depends on how much for & the dilution factor - the may get a credit facility
because if they are targeting $5m - $10m purchasde of policies, that's a few quid to raise & dilute all s/holders

when I recall their admission doc mentioned they will not be doing this, but acting as a manager for clients dealing with this instead.

[7rademark] 07/12/2018 10:14

The company state they are in the market for aquisitions what's wrong with a placing. I'm all for it.

[euclid5] 07/12/2018 10:07

[7rademark] 07/12/2018 08:40

[hungary16] 07/12/2018 08:31

[7rademark] 06/12/2018 10:53

Agree. Take advantage whilst you can, the markets are looking shaky so we will have sellers covering other failed positions.Patience needed

[bobs good eye] 06/12/2018 10:50

Some more in the pot for me. Getting close to that 1% mark now. Roll on 2019.

[hoper1] 05/12/2018 16:36

Isn't that the difference between investing and gambling?

[7rademark] 05/12/2018 15:43

Better. A near 400k buy, amazing the lack of impatience by some, most of these tiny sells match buys earlier this week and last, total waste of money.

[hoper1] 05/12/2018 13:12

They wouldn't unless they thought it makes sense. ALGW must be bringing something to the table
