The Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) convened its annual Compliance Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The annual gathering is the only conference geared towards the life settlement industry’s compliance professionals and featured the widely popular Legal Roundtable. This year’s event was attended by more than 30 licensed life settlement companies.

“The Compliance Conference always offers attendees a tremendous amount of value as it addresses the most important compliance-related issues of the day,” commented Doug Head, LISA Executive Director. “As the voice of the industry, it is our responsibility to make sure this type of dialogue is occurring within the industry.”

This year, the Conference tackled such issues as due diligence, privacy issues and even featured appearances by Amanda Jolley, Program Supervisor – Enforcement Division – Georgia Department of Insurance, and Amanda Squires (D), Georgia Insurance Commissioner candidate. ”We’re extremely grateful for Ms. Jolley’s and Ms. Squires’ remarks and insights during our meeting,” added Mr. Head.

SL Investment Management’s two-year-old Life Plus Life Settlement Fund has earned a 10.26% return since its launch, the Chester, England-based company said in a statement Tuesday.

The fund has experienced $13.3 million in life policy maturities.

SL Investment’s valuation method is unlike other companies that use mark-to-model valuations that can vary greatly, said Investment Director Patrick McAdams. “SL assumes very few maturities will occur shortly after policy acquisition, and use[s] a very transparent actuarially based model to approximate market value,” he said in the statement.

SL Investment is planning to launch a second Life Plus fund. The company, which also works with traded endowment policies, had £930 million ($1.5 billion) under management and advice as of Dec. 31.
