Commentary
Investment in the secondary life insurance market remains subdued so our conservative valuation approach remains in place. However, the full face value of each policy, held by GIS General Fund, will be collected in due course.
Bear in mind that the Fund has ongoing premium payments to make on each policy, until a claim has been lodged. It is the collection of these proceeds that drives the return and we anticipate an increased number of claims will be lodged over time.
