What is a Life Settlement?

A Life Settlement is a private market investment into a life insurance contract for more than the surrender value but less than the face value.

We’re in this business because life settlements offer 15–25% target IRRs with zero market correlation. At Odyssey Capital, we focus on delivering exceptional returns for accredited investors - while giving seniors a dignified financial exit. Performance with purpose.

Private Market

Life settlements belong to the class of private market alternatives - an asset class historically reserved for institutional investors.

Like private equity and venture capital they offer access to outsized returns and low correlation with public markets.

But unlike those assets, life settlements are not tied to business cycles or valuations. In today’s uncertain market, private assets like life settlements are no longer optional - they’re essential.

Unlike Typical Private Deals-Life Settlements are Liquid.
