Dow Jones Description

Life Partners, Inc. (LPI) introduced the concept of a secondary market for life insurance in 1997. Now the concept has become widely accepted and LPI is proud to be known as the Architect of Life Settlements. Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (LPHI) is the only publicly traded company involved, through its primary operating subsidiary LPI, exclusively in the secondary market for life insurance. As a financial services company, LPI earns fees from providing life settlement purchasing agent services to both individual and institutional clients. LPI also acts as a fund advisor to funds purchasing life settlement policies and buys policies for its own investment. In order to meet market demand and maximize value to clients in this growing industry, LPI has made significant investment in proprietary software and processes that enable it to facilitate a higher volume of transactions while maintaining quality control. Since its inception, LPI has facilitated over 50,000 transactions associated with the purchase of over 5,600 policies. We believe that LPI's experience, infrastructure, and intellectual capital give it a unique market position and will enable it maintain sustainable growth within the life settlement market.
