Optimistic Views for Life Settlement Industry Put Forth at Fasano Life Settlement Conference

Washington, DC, November 8 – (Businesswire) — Brian Smith, CEO of Life Equity, addressed more than 300 industry participants in the keynote speech at Fasano Associates’ Fourth Annual Life Settlement Conference. Smith hailed 2007 as a watershed year in which the life insurance industry recognized that life settlements are good for consumers and also good for the life insurance industry. He predicted that increased capital from financial institutions coupled with acceptance and participation from the life industry would lead to continued growth of the life settlement industry.

Smith’s upbeat assessment was shared by Erik Friedman, Senior Managing Director of Bear Stearns, who concluded that the settlement industry is “here to stay” and that it offered significant growth potential.

Michael Fasano, President of Fasano Associates, agreed with Smith and Friedman. “Two senior executives from the Phoenix Life addressed our conference this year with their views of the life settlement market. This would not have been possible at earlier conferences. A vibrant secondary market for life insurance increases value to the consumer while making the life insurance contract a more valuable commodity. This is a win-win situation.”

A life settlement is the sale in the secondary market of a life insurance policy that no longer meets the needs of the policy owner. Life settlements bring together the capital and insurance markets to provide owners of life insurance competitive market values for their policies.

Additional presentations were made by Jack Kelly, Partner of The McPherson Group, Dr. Thomas Schmitt, Managing Partner of Augur Capital, Phillipe Hatstadt, Senior Managing Director of Bear Stearns, Stuart Hersch, CEO of Cantor Life Markets, and Dr. Barbara Jo Senatore, Medical Director at Fasano Associates.
