A specialist firm. Patient capital.

Focus Life settlement origination, pricing & portfolio management

We are dedicated to seeking above-average returns in the alternative investment space — through disciplined underwriting and a deep specialization in a single asset class.

The team at Poel Capital brings more than twenty-five years of combined experience in sourcing, analyzing, pricing, acquiring, and managing life insurance policies on behalf of investors.

To date, we have transacted nearly $2 billion in death benefit and deployed over $100 million of investor capital — every policy underwritten with care and a long-term view.

— 02 / The asset class

Life settlements, explained.

Definition
A life settlement is the sale of an existing, in-force life insurance policy on the life of a senior — purchased on the open market for a value greater than the surrender value, but less than the full death benefit.

Why investors look here.

Four characteristics define the opportunity: yield, credit quality, scale, and independence from broader market cycles.

i

Attractive projected returns

Potential for high-yield returns relative to investment-grade fixed income.

ii

High credit quality

Insurance carriers are nearly always investment-grade; policies remain a senior obligation.

iii

Expanding, regulated market

A market estimated between $240B and $600B in policy benefits, and steadily growing.

iv

Low correlation of return

Historically lower exposure to economic and financial market cycles.

— 03 / Approach

Three disciplines. One standard.

Step 01
Origination
Decades of relationships with brokers, advisors, and carriers give us access to high-quality policies — and a discerning eye for the few that merit deeper work.
Step 02
Underwriting
Actuarial modeling, third-party life expectancy analysis, and careful review of carrier credit. We say no often — so that when we say yes, it counts.
Step 03
Stewardship
From premium servicing through final maturity, every policy is monitored with the same discipline that brought it into the portfolio.
