Résumé
In the darkest corners of alternative investing, Wall Street has engineered a product where the payout is directly tied to the speed of someone's death. The market for viatical settlements, or "Death Bonds, " allows investors to purchase the life insurance policies of the terminally ill at a discount, paying the premiums until the original owner passes away.
Born during the AIDS epidemic as a way for patients to afford medical care, this industry has ballooned into a multi-billion dollar machine driven by cold actuarial math.
When the patient dies quickly, the yield is spectacular. When modern medicine keeps them alive, the investor bleeds cash. This gripping analysis pulls back the curtain on the most ethically fraught financial instrument in existence. It breaks down the ruthless logistics of life expectancy forecasting, the risks of longevity risk, and the securitization of human mortality by massive hedge funds. Explore the ultimate intersection of finance and mortality.
Discover how the relentless pursuit of yield turned the tragedy of a shortened lifespan into a highly optimized, tradable asset.
