Increased Demand For Traded Endowment Policies Broadens Range Of Companies Being Used

Last month, online trading platform FreeTrawl.com saw offers being made on policies from over 40 different Life Funds. In the past this would have been unusual behaviour but as more and more people are investing in endowment policies and selling endowments, this is becoming common practice. The increase in demand amongst those buying policies means that people are now using in a wider range of Life Companies than they were before.

Traditionally, people are used to seeing traded endowment policies being bought from the big players such as Norwich Union, Prudential and Standard Life.

Marix Servicing and Logicalis Work Together to Reduce Home Foreclosures with Innovative Technology

The more time that goes by for a distressed loan, the more likely it will end up in foreclosure. "The key to saving distressed borrowers is contacting them directly. We needed a way to reach out to individual borrowers as quickly as possible and begin collecting information on their loans," says Steve Paton, Senior Vice President at Marix Servicing LLC, a loan servicing company founded in 2007 in response to distress in the U.S. mortgage market. As a loan servicer, Marix is employed by mortgage insurers and investors to save the value in their mortgage investments. To do that, Marix's highly trained experts work directly with homeowners to help them save their mortgages through a range of financial options, including refinancing, short sale arrangements and other workout plans.
