ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Retirement expert and analyst Wm. Scott Page, along with research firm Conning, have reported that about $3 billion in life insurance is annually sold through life settlements. The life insurance settlement market is expected to show continued growth through 2014 as well. This increased interest in settlements is raising prices in the market and increasing the benefits available to policyholders.
A life settlement enables a senior or retiree to sell existing life insurance for immediate cash, but not everyone is taking advantage of these trends to sell off unwanted life insurance policies.
As shown in the infographic, life insurance holders can sell unneeded or unwanted life insurance or expiring term insurance as life settlements. The proceeds can then be used to diversify, re-allocate and rebalance retirement portfolios.
The infographic also highlights how life settlement proceeds can be reinvested into other investment vehicles to help fund retirement such as:
- Stocks and bonds
- Annuities
- Real estate
- Precious metals
- New insurance coverage
