Life Settlement Index Recap - July, 2010 Data

At 10:00 AM EST, August 3rd, 2010 Amrita Financial released the July results of its Amrita Life Settlement Index. The index posted 460 points for the month of July. Overall the index remained unchanged from the June 2010 level.

Life settlement providers reported only mild changes in the July surveys. While more life settlement offers were made, the amount of cases received and closed were relatively flat. This suggests more providers are actively participating in the market. However, the increased provider activity appears to be raising the level of competition in a narrow cross section of policies rather than expanding the market’s appetite for a broader range of policies. Any increases in capital deployed into the market doesn't appear to have yet changed the conservative buying approach that has been demonstrated in the recent past.

Looking forward, life settlement providers see little changes to the market activity or conditions in the near term.
