London Life Settlement Conference

Upcoming Life Settlement Conference is right around the corner…

The International Life Settlements Conference
March 22 & 23, Marriott Grosvenor Square, London

The Life Settlements industry continues to evolve with new regulation and legislation surrounding the market. The International Life Settlements Conference examines all of the latest developments, with an emphasis on what investors are looking for, how the industry can better position itself for growth, and what it will take to see a return of funding to the market.
This is the premier gathering for Life Settlements professionals, European investors and limited partners.

The agenda includes discussions on legislation, regulation, litigation, tax concerns for overseas funds, securitization, synthetic structures, pension fund longevity swaps, headline risk, life extension risk, underwriting issues, and insurance event linked securities.
Presented by an international faculty, this two-day agenda provides education you won’t receive anywhere else. The agenda also features “The Life Settlements Investors Roundtable”, the largest gathering of active Life Settlements investors on one stage.
