Structured Settlement Markets Shine

Eight of the twelve life markets active in the structured settlement industry saw their admitted assets increase an average of 10%, more than 40% better than their industry peers.

BONUS Statistic:  Combined, these twelve life markets, with admitted assets in excess of $1.9 trillion, constitute approximately  36% of ALL the admitted assets for the entire U. S. life/health industry.

Safety, Security and Lots of Money

These data reassure clients who choose structured settlements that their faith in this alternative-to-cash is well founded.  Likewise, attorneys who structure their fees can also feel secure in knowing their hard-earned fees are backed by companies with lots of commas on the asset side of their ledgers.

Congratulations to our structured settlement life industry partners for serving as a beacon of hope amid a sea of financial gloom during this post-Great Recession period.  (Rankings in parentheses)
