Fractional Life Settlements

A life settlement happens when a senior sells an existing life insurance policy to an investor insteadof letting it lapse. The investor takes over premium payments and collects the death benefit when thepolicy matures—earning strong, predictable returnsbacked by top-rated insurance companies.

For decades, only major institutions like Credit Suisse, AIG, Apollo Group, and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway could access this market. Now, through Redemption Insurance Solutions of America, qualified investors can participate through fractional ownership, buying shares of policies for as little as $25,000.

Unlike stocks, real estate, or commodities, life settlements are completely uncorrelated to market fluctuations, offering true diversification and stability in any economy.

How It Works

A life settlement lets investors purchase existing life insurance policies from seniors who no longer need them. The investor pays the premiums and collects the death benefit when the policy matures—earning strong, predictable returns from policies issued by top-rated insurance carriers.

Structured for Safety

Redemptions life settlement investments are built with multiple layers of protection to ensure investor security. Each policy is issued by an “A-Rated” or better insurance carrier, among the most financially stable companies in the world, and further backed by reinsurance and state guarantee funds—so even in rare insolvency events, claims remain protected. Additionally, all policies are held in an independent First Western Statutory Trust, meaning they are legally separated from Redemptions operations and creditors. This structure provides investors with a three-tier safety net and a proven track record—no legitimate death claim in U.S. history has ever gone unpaid.

The Process

  • Step One

    Signing the Docs – When an investor chooses to participate in a Redemption portfolio or in one of the life settlement portfolios offered through our trusted partners, standard legal documents are required—just like with any regulated investment. Your agent will make the process simple and transparent. At Redemption, we pride ourselves on honesty and clarity every step of the way.

  • Step Two

    Sending Funds – Is it a cash deal or “qualified (IRA, 4011k, etc) money? Once that decision is made, a wire or check is sent to the Trustee, First Western Trust.

  • Step Three

    The Trustee records and issues a certificate in the investor’s name indicating the ownership percentage of the portfolio. This guarantees the investor their proper share of the payout.

  • Step Four

    The investor receives a “Closing Packet” with all signed documents involved in the transaction, including a copy of the Trustee Certificate.


  • Step Five

    The Trustee maintains the portfolio and ensures the policy remains in force by making all scheduled premium payments.

Stock Market Myths

Many investors believe the stock market consistently averages strong annual returns, but those figures often ignore the negative years that erase gains. Even a 50% loss requires a 100% rebound just to break even—hardly a reliable path to growth. True diversification isn’t about owning different stocks; it’s about adding alternative

assets that aren’t tied to market swings. That’s why many investors look beyond Wall Street for stable, non-correlated opportunities that deliver predictable, contractual returns.

Buying Equity — Not Speculating

Unlike stocks or real estate, where you hope values rise, fractional life settlements let you know your payout upfront. You’re not gambling on market swings — you’re purchasing equity from day one, backed by a contractual return and trustee protection.
