Internet-based premium optimization for the life settlement market

calculate ultimate minimum premiums INSTANTANEOUSLY

LSVM

LS Value Maximizer, LLC (LSVM) offers a web based system that projected optimized minimum premiums of more than 1,200 life insurance policies associated with more than 100 products that are widely used in the life settlement market in order to maximize the value of life settlement policies.

Need

Insurers in general do not provide minimum premium illustration for inforce policies. Investors often end up paying what the insurers require or excessive premium calculated by ignoring the applicable policy provisions. As a result, values of the policies are understated or inaccurate.

Ultimate minimum premium must be determined as the minimum amount required each month (or year or quarter) to support the policy based on policy provisions, prior premium history and recent illustration from the insurer.

Solutions

LSVM has designed and developed a system that calculates ultimate minimum premium for future remaining years of the life insurance policy. Our system accommodates contractual provisions attributable to lapse protection, various shadow accounts, riders and applicable endorsements. Our system uses a formula to solve for COI rates while relying on policy provisions pertaining to each individual policy. This system is available in a server and can be used by users who are registered to use the system.

Calculation of ultimate minimum premium is performed monthly or quarterly or annually. Front end screens would enable the users to easily project the ultimate minimum premiums. It is our understanding that all of our clients have benefited from our system in decreasing the minimum premiums solved by other systems and increasing the value of the portfolios.
