A Global Currency Fund
Incisive understanding of commodity currency behaviour
Fund tends to exhibit relative outperformance when: volatility is increasing
Life Settlement Securitisation
Securitised life settlement portfolios have in the past produced double-digit returns.
A couple of the main drivers behind this increase in regulation are the growth in institutional investment capital and the protection of consumer rights. The adoption of the legislation from the Model Acts is subject to evaluation on a state-by-state level. These Acts are designed to set forth guidelines to better outline Stranger-Originated Life Insurance (STOLI) transactions, compensation disclosure, and other hot-button issues.
Investing in non-prime auto paper
Based on my experience, and rather ironically, good times are more perilous than bad.
In the non-prime auto loan space, I believe the challenges and opportunities are very similar in both during economic downturns and prosperous times. Irrespective, the default rate seems to hover around 25 – 26% for the very worst credit categories. For a speciality finance company such as ours, thorough due diligence in credit underwriting and collections is imperative - more than macro economic factors.
