FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coventry, the leader and creator of the secondary market for life insurance and a pioneer of the life insurance-backed asset class, today announced that it remains the leading life settlement provider in the secondary market in terms of total policies purchased, total face value, and total amount paid to policyowners among reported providers. These results are reflected in Coventry’s newly released 2025 Life Settlement League Table Report, which compiles market data derived from public records filings and provider disclosures. The Coventry companies have held the top spot for thirteen consecutive years.

Coventry, together with its affiliate Life Equity, purchased more than 1,400 life insurance policies from policyowners in the secondary market alone in 2025, representing approximately $1.6 billion in face value, making it the largest purchaser of life insurance policies in the secondary market. Further, the Coventry companies paid policyowners more than $240 million for their policies in 2025.

“Coventry continues to set the pace for the secondary market for life insurance through scale, certainty of execution, and disciplined capital deployment,” said Reid Buerger, CEO of Coventry. “That leadership is driven by the strength of Coventry’s people, the rigor of its processes, consultative engagement with advisors, and the continued investment in technology that supports consistent execution and better outcomes for policyowners and advisors.”

This approach is supported by Coventry’s vertically integrated model and proprietary data, enabling more precise evaluation, broader purchase criteria, and customized outcomes for policyowners.
