“Fusion” Life Settlement Products – a New Approach to Longevity Investments

default Matthew Browndorf
Founder & Chief Investment Officer
Browndorf PEM


Recent years have witnessed a number of strategies for broadening the investment base for life settlements – through synthetic emulation of longevity risk and agency-rated securitizations of life settlement pools. One of the latest strategies to have emerged is that of “fusion” life settlement products, which involves blending policies with complementary asset classes to create hybrid investment products with distinct characteristics. Matthew Browndorf, one of the pioneers of the new strategy, will explain how to optimally construct fusion life settlement products that preserve the non-correlated benefit of the asset class while mitigating longevity risk.
