What happened
Matthew Smart, who provides financial advice from his firm in Naples, discussed the options available to clients with life insurance policies. He noted that clients who allow policies to lapse or accept surrender values might be leaving substantial capital unused. Life settlements, based on 2025 market data, can yield an average of 8.71 times more than a policy's cash surrender value.
Why it matters
The availability of these options allows financial advisors to increase their value to clients who may require cash infusions. For clients whose original reasons for purchasing life insurance no longer apply, understanding these liquidation options can provide alternative capital sources.
