EMSI Provides Life Expectancy Expertise to Key Industry Organizations
Scottsdale, AZ, November 30, 2006 – Examination Management Services, Inc. (EMSI), a
life settlement service provider, has been asked by two leading organizations in the life insurance industry to provide presentations on life settlement issues.
Vic McMullen, national sales director at EMSI, recently made a presentation on improved mortality experience in the elderly population to Germany’s Bundesverband Verm¶gensanlagen im Zweitmarkt Lebensversicherungen (BVZL), an association of
institutional funding organizations, at their annual meeting on October 26, 2006.
McMullen began his career in life insurance underwriting support services with EMSI in 1993 and has focused on EMSI’s life settlement underwriting services for the past three years.
BVZL has also invited Terry Savage, EMSI’s chief underwriter, to address life expectancy underwriting in a press conference for financial journalists on December 7, 2006. Savage is a 35-year veteran of insurance underwriting and has specialized in life expectancy evaluations for the past 15 years.
Franz-Philippe Przybyl, a spokesman for BVZL and CEO of Berlin Atlantic said, “We are excited about our upcoming press conference and appreciate EMSI coming to Munich
for this event to explain life expectancy underwriting to the involved financial markets.”
Additionally, Dr. Linda S. Goodwin, an EMSI medical director, will provide a presentation to the Life Insurance Settlement Organization (LISA), a non-profit trade association for members of the viatical and life settlement industry, at their annual conference in New York on November 29, 2006. Dr. Goodwin will speak about the differences between life insurance and life settlement underwriting. She is a frequent presenter on a broad range of elderly underwriting topics such as life expectancy, structured settlements and elderly medical conditions. As an active member of the American Academy of Insurance Medicine (AAIM), Dr. Goodwin’s research on mortality of the elderly is frequently published and utilized within the insurance industry for traditional insurance underwriting.
LISA President Ramiro Rencurrell comments, “Accurate mortality assessment of the elderly is one of the critical elements to profitability and competitiveness with life settlement transactions and we appreciate all efforts to further educate all associated parties and appreciate EMSI’s efforts in this regard.”
