Jonas Martenson interviewed by Hedge Nordic
after the awards ceremony where Ress Life Investments was awarded Best Nordic Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, Jonas Martenson Founder of Resscapital AB was interviewed by Nordic Hedge. He discussed Resscapital’ strategy of reviewing large amounts of life insurance policies and only purchasing the most attractive policies.
“We obtain at least two forecasts of longevity and use the longer one in order to be conservative, as an input for our valuation model. This differs Resscapital from most of our competitors and we believe it reduces the risk for our investors” explained Jonas Martenson.
“So far Ress Life Investments has had a higher number of policy payouts than expected. It appears that we have been somewhat conservative in our forecasts and thus delivered a higher return to our investors”, he adds.
