Stress Test Overview

Base Case IRR
14.6%
Target after fees
Scenario 1 IRR
8.2%
No deaths (5 years)
Scenario 2 IRR
11.4%
No housing income (5 years)
Scenario 3 IRR
13.8%
No ARNEX returns (5 years)
Analysis Purpose: These three scenarios test portfolio performance under adverse conditions to demonstrate the stability provided by diversified income streams. All scenarios show positive returns despite significant stress factors.

Scenario 1: Delayed Mortality (5 Years)

This scenario models zero life settlement deaths for the first 5 years, testing portfolio resilience when the primary asset class underperforms expectations.

Scenario 2: Housing Operations Failure (5 Years)

This scenario models complete failure of housing operations for 5 years while life settlement performance remains normal, testing diversification benefits.

Scenario 3: ARNEX Strategy Failure (5 Years)

This scenario models complete ARNEX strategy failure for 5 years while life settlements and housing perform normally, testing impact of alternative strategy underperformance.

Stress Test Summary

Key Findings: All three stress scenarios demonstrate portfolio resilience through diversified income streams. Even under adverse conditions, the portfolio maintains strong positive returns, validating the strategic approach of combining uncorrelated asset classes.

Comparative Analysis

Scenario 5-Year IRR Cumulative Return Key Risk Factor Mitigation
Base Case 14.6% $200M+ Normal operations Diversified income
No Deaths 8.2% $93.8M Mortality timing Fixed income streams
No Housing 11.4% $134.2M Real estate failure Life settlement performance
No ARNEX 13.8% $348.2M Alternative strategy failure Core asset performance

Portfolio Strengths Demonstrated

  • Income Diversification: Multiple revenue streams reduce single-point-of-failure risk
  • Asset Class Balance: Life settlements and real estate provide different risk/return profiles
  • Strategic Exit Option: Year 5 liquidity event provides recovery mechanism
  • Reserve Requirements: Maximum $55M working capital covers worst-case scenario
  • Positive Returns: All scenarios maintain positive IRR despite stress factors
  • Component Independence: No single strategy creates undue portfolio risk

Risk Assessment Conclusion

The stress test analysis confirms portfolio resilience under adverse conditions. All three scenarios demonstrate positive returns ranging from 8.2% to 13.8%, validating the diversified approach and conservative underwriting standards.
