WELCOME FUNDS vs. DIRECT BUYER

Welcome Funds has the privilege of working with numerous financial advisors and wealth managers – and have done so for two decades – some who exclusively focus on servicing high net worth clients. One such advisor who is active in the life settlement market — and already understands the value he can create for his clients — had historically negotiated directly with two or three leading buyers of life insurance policies. He thought that simply engaging with more than one buyer was enough of a market channel check to provide a good barometer of the life insurance policy’s value.

Each time we engaged this advisor in conversation about the benefit of working with a licensed life settlement broker, he confidently stated that all life settlement providers are essentially the same and that there is ample, inherent competition in the market to ensure fair life settlement offers for his clients’ policies. After a few years of ongoing discussions with our Welcome Funds team, he finally agreed to give us an opportunity to show him what we could do and he shared two cases with us that he had already taken directly to buyers.

When Buyers Compete, Policy Owners Win! 

Jerry purchased a $500,000 Universal Life policy seven years ago to provide his wife with “peace of mind.” Unfortunately, he could no longer afford the premium payments and contemplated letting the policy go. Jerry’s wife saw a TV commercial from a direct buyer, called a life settlement provider, about selling a life insurance policy for cash. Jerry decided to call the direct buyer and after waiting several months, he was offered $30,000 for his policy. Jerry was skeptical and thought the purchase price was low given his age and health history. He then contacted Welcome Funds, “just to be sure.” Welcome Funds conducted a transparent auction securing a total of 10 offers. In the end, Jerry and his wife received a check for $100,000, 233% more than the offer from the direct buyer!
