Fasano October 26th Life Settlement Conference: “Cutting Edge – Investor Focused”
Limited seating is still available for Fasano Associates’ 6th Annual Life Settlement Conference - to be held on Monday, October 26, 2009 at Fasano’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Michael Fasano, President of Fasano Associates, described this year’s conference as “cutting edge and investor focused.” “Our Conference will put the truth out as to the mistakes of the premium finance market and the resulting problems that still plague our industry. We will also set the record straight on some of the false comparisons that have been drawn between the subprime mortgage market and life settlements. Our agenda is fresh, our speakers are experts in their disciplines, and at a cost of only $395, ours is the best conference value out there.”
Kent Smetters, former Bush Administration Treasury official and current Wharton School Professor, will open the Conference with an Analysis of President Obama’s Economic Policies and their Impact on Life Settlement and Financial Markets. He will be followed by Jim DeHayes, marketing expert and CEO of DeHayes Consulting Group, who will share his insight on Opening the Black Box of Marketing Life Settlements.
Thomas Laumont, Chairman of the German Life Settlement Association, BVZL, will moderate a panel of international experts, covering European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Latin American views on life settlements. Philippe Hatstadt, Managing Director of Barclays Capital, will finish the morning session with a presentation on the Impact of Life Extension Risk on Securitized & Bespoke Life Settlement Structures.
The afternoon sessions will include a discussion explaining the Differences between the Mortgage Backed Securities and Life Settlement Markets by Marcos Flores, Managing Director of Credit Suisse, and a presentation on the Death of Premium Finance by Dr. Jochen Russ of the Institute for Finance and Actuarial Studies.
Additional afternoon presentations will include a legal wrap-up by Brian Casey of Locke, Lord, Bissell and an industry analysis by McPherson Group Partner, Jack Kelly, Industry Under Siege: The Road Out. In addition, Fasano Associates’ Medical Director, Dr. Jim Wright, will offer a Medical Presentation on endocrine disorders.
