Asher and Geoffrey join us today to explain what the life settlement sector is about and how policyholders can benefit from it. They describe how their business works and how it helps clients who were otherwise unaware of the amount of money they can get from their life insurance. They share why this sector is often viewed from a negative perspective and how they plan to change that. They also share some of their future projects and ongoing developments.

“When you have an asset, it’s worth something. It’s either going away or not, but you can make some money out of it.”
