DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Abacus Global Management, Inc. ("Abacus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ABL), a leader in alternative asset management, announced that it has been added to the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indexes. This milestone reflects the firm's strong growth and the increasing institutional recognition of secondary life insurance assets as a mainstream, diversifying component of modern portfolio construction.

As investors navigate a world of moderating base rates and tighter credit spreads, the appeal of uncorrelated, actuarially driven strategies has strengthened. Secondary life insurance assets, characterized by predictable, mortality-linked cash flows, are emerging as a natural complement to income-generating alternatives such as private credit. They offer yield stability, diversification, and downside protection amid changing market conditions.

Jay Jackson, Chairman and CEO of Abacus, commented, "Inclusion in these Russell indices marks an important milestone in our company's journey, enhancing our visibility among the broader investment community and validating our team's ability to drive value for shareholders."

Building on this momentum, Abacus will lead a Middle East roadshow in November to meet with institutional investors and family offices. The initiative highlights Abacus's commitment to broadening global access to data-driven, uncorrelated investment opportunities at a time when resilient alternative strategies are increasingly in demand.

According to Moody's, the global private credit market will reach $3 trillion in AUM by 2028 (Moody's, 2025). This growth is being driven by bank retrenchment and investors' ongoing search for yield. As competition intensifies and spreads compress, institutional allocators are increasingly turning toward uncorrelated asset classes such as secondary life insurance portfolios to enhance portfolio efficiency and risk-adjusted returns.

Abacus combines proprietary mortality data, in-house underwriting, and active portfolio management to effectively manage longevity risk and deliver consistent performance. The firm continues to see growing institutional inflows from investors seeking uncorrelated returns that complement traditional fixed income and private credit allocations.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a year marked by persistent volatility across equities, credit, and real estate, Asian allocators are increasingly looking to uncorrelated sources of return. Secondary life insurance – or life settlements – is gaining further recognition in the region as a reliable, actuarially driven strategy. By acquiring existing U.S. life insurance policies at a discount and maintaining premiums until maturity, managers like Abacus provide stable returns  tied to longevity outcomes rather than market cycles.

Globally, life settlements already represent a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity, with over USD 200 billion worth of policies lapsing each year in the U.S. often due to limited awareness of better alternatives among senior policyholders. While well-established in the U.S. and Europe, this asset class remains nascent in Asia. However, as family offices and institutional allocators in the region build more sophisticated portfolios, many are turning to this uncorrelated strategy to diversify risk and benefit from predictable cash flows secured by highly rated US life insurance companies.

Growing Presence in Asia – Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and Japan

Abacus has established a strong investor base in Japan and Singapore. Looking ahead, the firm sees significant opportunities to expand further in these two markets as well as Hong Kong SAR, where demand for alternative credit and longevity-linked assets is accelerating.

As part of this expansion, Abacus will host an investor roadshow in Singapore and Japan this October and November, bringing senior management to meet with existing and new investors. This underscores Abacus' vision to become the partner of choice for Asian allocators seeking stability in uncertain markets.

With nearly $3 billion in assets under management, Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ: ABL) is the only publicly traded global alternative asset manager focused on lifespan-based financial products. Regulated by the SEC in the U.S. and the CSSF in Luxembourg, the firm complies with the strictest transparency requirements in its industry.

ARF IV – Available Vintage

The Absolute Return Fund IV (ARF IV) continues to build on a track record of disciplined actuarial modelling, rigorous risk management, and consistent distributions. The fund is structured to deliver double digit net returns with quarterly distributions, offering investors bond-like regularity alongside the growth potential of a niche, uncorrelated asset class.

The fund performance has maintained a consistent record of strong performance since its inception, accounting at cost and realized gains only.

Looking Ahead

With secondary life insurance gaining traction in Asia, Abacus is well positioned to lead this next phase of growth. Combining a global track record with a growing presence in Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, and Japan, the firm offers allocators a strategy built on stability, transparency, and performance.
