About Abacus Life (ABL)

Abacus is a leading global alternative asset manager and market maker, specializing in use of advanced longevity and actuarial technology to purchase life insurance policies from consumers seeking liquidity while creating a high-returning asset class of insurance products, uncorrelated to market fluctuations, for institutional investors.

Abacus is a rare offering: serving as the originator and market maker of the asset we purchase and manage, we provide a distinct advantage for consumers seeking to monetize insurance policies and investors seeking to deploy capital, as we are deeply entrenched at every stage of the process. In a highly regulated and difficult-to-access insurance marketplace, we provide the maximum opportunity for the consumer and ensure the quality of the underlying asset for investors. With $5 billion in face value of policies purchased since 2004, Abacus is the only publicly traded global alternative asset manager focused on lifespan-based financial products, available on the Nasdaq Exchange under ticker symbol ABL.

The company’s pioneering experience in the life planning space has created growth into new verticals.

ABL Wealth – A longevity-based wealth management and investment offering service, uses Abacus’ decades of data and proprietary algorithms to help financial advisors create more customized plans for clients and access uncorrelated investment funds.

ABL Tech – A groundbreaking technology service that provides advanced real-time data tracking and analysis for pension funds, governments, insurance companies, retirement associations, and more.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve built an institutionalized origination and portfolio management process supported by a growing team of more than 100 experts and professionals. We have long-term relationships with 78 institutional partners and 30,000 financial advisors and are licensed to operate in 49 states. What started as a small house fund is now the leading innovator in lifespan-based financial planning and asset management. Our leadership team averages 20+ years of experience and has been an innovator in the industry since its inception in the mid-90s.
