Litigation

In a financial radio show broadcast in late 2009 a Florida financial adviser, who claims to be the largest supplier of purchased structured annuities, said that demand for structured settlement payment rights by yield hungry individual investors is such that it is 5 times the supply.

While on the one hand the in force structured annuity market apparently affords investors (including tort victims) valid strategic opportunities, there must be vigilance to identify and block fraudulent and misleading advertising that may be used to help fill the gap between supply and demand.
