Conestoga Life Settlements Lawsuits Investigation

Conestoga Life Settlements Lawsuits Investigation

According to its website, Conestoga International is a Delaware Statutory Trust that focuses on providing investors with a “unique investment opportunity in the form of senior life settlements, which have the potential to generate profits for clients without the risks that accompany more traditional asset classes.”  The company reportedly filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2018 for the offering Conestoga Trust. The total offering amount sold was purportedly $171,741,688. The sales commissions and fees were estimated at 10% of the total offering amount, according to the filing.  

A Life Settlement or viatical settlement allows you to invest in another person’s life insurance policy. With a viatical settlement, you purchase the policy (or part of it) at a price that is less than the death benefit of the policy. When the seller dies, you collect the death benefit.  

Your return depends upon the seller’s life expectancy and the actual date he or she dies. If the seller dies before the estimated life expectancy, you may receive a higher return. But if the seller lives longer than expected, your return will be lower. You can even lose part of your principal investment if the person lives long enough so that you have to pay additional premiums to maintain the policy. At one time, most viatical settlements were from people with a life-threatening illness. Now, individuals who are not facing a health crisis may sell their life insurance policies to get cash.
