Abacus posts record life settlement activity in 2025

Abacus Global Management reported record origination and trading activity across its life settlement portfolio in 2025, driven by higher deal flow and secondary market turnover.

The company purchased 1,310 policies during the year, deploying $580.8 million in capital. It also traded 1,059 policies from its portfolio, representing roughly $1.8 billion in face value.

Abacus generated $178.6 million in realized gains from those transactions, compared to $49.3 million in unrealized gains, ending the year with $468.9 million in policies held on its balance sheet.

The results point to increased liquidity in the life settlement market, with Abacus acting as both a buyer of policies and an active seller in the secondary market.

“2025 was a landmark year for Abacus. We didn’t just grow; we set records that redefine what’s possible in this asset class. Purchasing over 1,300 policies, deploying over half a billion dollars in origination capital, trading over 1,000 policies representing nearly $1.8 billion in face value, and generating over $178 million in realized gains. These aren’t incremental improvements, they are industry-defining achievements. As we look ahead, we believe this operating momentum, combined with our growing asset base and expanding institutional relationships, positions us exceptionally well to continue delivering for shareholders.” – Jay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of Abacus.
