life settlement association

Dear All,

It is an exciting time to be taking on the task of chairing the European Life Settlement Association (ELSA). I’ve been with the organisation since the early days, watching it grow, and growing with it. It is great to see such encouraging developments taking place.

My predecessor, Patrick McAdams, Investment Director of SL Investment Management, has done a fantastic job with ELSA. My aim is to build on that and take us forward.

The Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) board voted unanimously yesterday to offer the top staff job to Darwin Bayston, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Bayston recently became director of consulting at AVS Underwriting, a Kennesaw, Ga.-based life expectancy provider. Before that, he had been managing director of Life Settlement Consulting & Management since 2004.

Doug Head is the current executive director of LISA. Head earlier announced plans to retire at the end of the year.
