Fasano Announces 3rd Annual Life Settlement Conference

Fasano Associates  announced today that it will host its Third Annual Life Settlement Conference on Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at its headquarters in Washington, DC. The conference will address regulatory, investment and other issues affecting the life settlement market with presentations by Lehman Brothers, Baker & McKenzie and Fasano Associates.

A life settlement is the sale in the secondary market of a life insurance policy that no longer meets the needs of the policy owner. The life settlement industry brings together the capital and insurance markets to provide owners of life insurance competitive market values for their policies. The life settlement market is a multi-billion dollar industry that has attracted both domestic and international attention.

“The life settlement industry continues to grow despite concerns addressed by some regulators and the life insurance industry. We will address these concerns, as well as investment, legal, actuarial and medical issues impacting the industry,” said Michael Fasano, President of Fasano Associates.

Conference speakers will include:

• Keynote address by Jim Terlizzi, CEO of Peachtree Life Settlements - Trends in the Life Settlement Industry
