Luxembourg Life FundLong Term Growth Fund Overview

Background:A life settlement is the transfer of ownership and beneficiary rights of an unwanted orunneeded life insurance policy on an insured senior in exchange for a cash settlement.The seller no longer has the responsibility of paying future premiums. In exchange, investors profit based on the difference of the face value of the policy and acquisition and maintenance costs.

Market Catalyst:Prior to life settlements, seniors who owned U.S. life insurance policies they no longerwanted, needed, or could afford were faced with either letting the policy lapse orsurrendering the policy back to the insurance carrier for only a small cash value. The lifesettlement marketplace has provided consumers with a much needed option where theycan receive substantially more than the cash surrender value.

What is a Life Settlement?

Low Correlation Asset Class:While most asset classes are typically affected by interest rate fluctuations, earning projections or credit rating shifts, life settlements are less sensitive to general drivers of global market turmoil and maintain an uncorrelated nature.

Limited Credit Risk:No US Life Insurance Company has ever neglected to pay a legitimate insurance claim. Insurance carriers are heavily regulated and are required to maintain extensive reserves and solvency requirements in each state.

Positive Market Growth:The U.S. life settlement industry continues to experience significant growth, with an estimated $12 billion plus annually in transaction volume, and is expected to reach $100 billion in the next decade.

Luxembourg Life FundLong Term Growth Fund Overview

Long Term Growth Fund StrategyThe Long Term Growth Fund’s investment strategy is to purchase carefully selected life insurance policiesthat are beyond the contestability period. The Fund seeks to build a large diversified portfolio acrossnumerous sectors, including but not limited to carrier concentration, expected maturities, gender, age,impairment, geography and face value. In order to properly implement a buy and hold strategy, the fundseeks to isolate mortality risk and build a large sample size. The fund employs a mark to market valuationmethodology to facilitate tertiary transactions. The Fund employs detailed actuarial and financial analysisto ensure that policies purchased are accounted for longevity risk as well as other variables of theactuarial profile.

Strategy

Uncorrelated Returns, Mortality Driven

Low Downside Risk

Low Volatility & Capital Preservation

Few assets truly have low correlation in adverse conditions. The primary risk is experienced mortality which is unaffected by changes in the economy.

Extreme scenarios, or ‘tail risk’ in life settlements has minimal downside impact compared to other asset classes.

A diversified portfolio with a large number of insured lives will experience limited volatility.

¾Expected long term performance is based on market rates and it is important capital isredeployed at the best possible yields. The interim performance of the fund will change withcurrent market rates.¾All policies are unique and certain risk characteristics may or may not be compensated for inprice by all buyers. This leaves a window of opportunity in the market to generate profits.

Life Expectancy

Loss at 130% LE

Life expectancy providers assess mortality relative to a standard life.For example a standard life has a mortality factor of 100%. If the life isimpaired they may add an additional 50% mortality factor and decreasethe median life expectancy. The higher the sensitivity to a change inexpectation or experience, the greater the volatility, and therefore ahigher required yield.

The above chart is the results of a stress analysis on a portfolio. TheY-axis represents the change in value for a 30% extension in medianmortality assumption. It is very apparent that there are vastdifferences in risk profiles. We believe this is a risk that is oftenmispriced by the market and allows us to add value to our investorsby taking advantage of inefficiencies.

Liquidity Risk.¾Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time.The Fund is exposed to monthly and annual cash redemptions of units at specified amounts.¾The Fund utilizes mark-to-market valuation systems that allows it to resell policies in thetertiary market to increase its liquidity profile.¾Our collective experience in both buying and selling policies allows us to meet drastic liquidityneeds in an orderly fashion if necessary.

The primary risk in the fund is mortality. This is followed by the ability to quickly redeploy cash inflows at attractive rates, ormarket rate movements. The fund must maintain an adequate cash reserve for premium payments, which creates minimalinterest on investment for the fund. An optimal reserve amount is determined by stressing mortality assumptions as cashinflows relative to premiums that will be paid. Mark to Market Valuation methodology allows the fund to resell policies ifnecedssary. Diversification and the law of large numbers will reduce the volatility of the returns of the fund.
