Conning Predicts Long-Term Growth in U.S. Life Settlement Market
According to a new study by Conning, the U.S. life settlement market is expected to experience long-term expansion through 2035 due to aging demographics and increasing demand for alternative assets with low correlation to traditional financial markets. The report highlights that rising retirement costs, growing consumer awareness, and evolving investor needs are key drivers of this growth. The study also notes the importance of managing policy supply, insurer exposure, financing challenges, and longevity risks as market participants seek to expand access for consumers. Conning's analysis includes forecasts on annual settlement volume and gross market potential through 2035, along with insights into insurers targeted by life settlement investors and an overview of portfolio risks. This is the firm’s 21st consecutive review of the life settlements sector, reinforcing its long-standing focus on this niche within insurance investment strategies.
