1st Choice Funding's structured settlement & annuity payment solutions are a financial vehicle designed to meet immediate as well as future financial needs for anyone who currently receives, or who is to receive a structured settlement annuity. Structured Settlement payments are the result of legal action, lottery winnings, or an insurance claim which pays periodic payments over time. If you currently are, or are about to receive what appears to be a guaranteed source of income for years to come, why would you want to sell a structured settlement guaranteed income insurance annuity? Actually for a wide variety of reasons as life and circumstances change, and as they do structured or annuities are no longer the best financial option. Today your financial needs are different that they were yesterday when your structured settlement annuity was set up.

Legally, Structured Settlement recipients can elect not to wait out the terms of a structured settlement agreement and opt for cash out in lieu of long term payments, as structured settlement cash outs put you in full control of your money, and it is your money!

As a structured settlement recipient why sell all or part of your structured settlement payments? The reasons vary from individual to individual, but many of the reason include:

  • Purchase a Home
  • Pay For College
  • Buy a Business
  • Grow Your Money More Effectively
  • Pay Off Debts
  • Needed Medical Care

    Structured Settlements are a guaranteed source of income for recipients so why financially does it make more sense to sell a portion, or all of a structured settlement?

    Successful annuities paid out during the course of time are based on the solvency of the insurance company's financial strength. Because no one can predict the future losses of the insurance industry, i.e. 9/11, 1st Choice Funding's structured settlement solution provides a “No Risk” Structured Settlement options to put your money in your hand today! What is non-recourse structured settlement funding? Non-recourse structured settlement funding means once you sell your structured settlement, and should the insurance company become insolvent at a later point you have no financial accountability for the money you received to be repaid. When receiving a annuity structured settlement cash out, 100% of the money received is yours to keep with no strings attached, no matter what happens in the future to the insurance company, your money can not be affected.

    Inflation Is Eating Away Your Structured Settlement

    Why would anyone who receives a structured settlement be better off financially to receive all of tomorrow's money today vs. being paid out over time? Simply put...inflation. It's really quite simple; the future of money today can be clearly defined when we look at money's past performance over just the last 40 years. Money today doesn't have the same worth it had 40 years ago, and it will not have the same value of money today. Look at what money bought 40 years ago vs. what it buys today;

    1964 Average Prices:
    Salary: $ 6,080.00
    New House: $ 13,050.00
    New Car: $ 3,496.00
    Loaf of Bread: $ 0.21
    Gallon of Gas: $ 0.30
    Ounce of Gold: $ 35.00

    The bottom line is clear...inflation means future payments aren't worth as much due to this fact. Inflation is like a cancer, eating away at the value of tomorrow's money, your money. As such it stands to reason that the further in the future you receive structured settlement payments, the less it will be worth. Therefore no matter the source structured settlement payments for any type of annuity, a wiser use of the resources provided are yours today as the inflationary rate over the next 20 years will make the value of the payments you receive today shrink in coming years. It is an axiom that the further in the future you are expecting to receive a sum of money, the less it is worth today, in part because of inflation as inflation makes the value of the money shrink in coming years. With this honest approach to the future value of money imagine how little what seems like a huge settlement today, but payable over 20 years will be at that time.

    Structured Settlement Money is Future Earned Interest

    Structured settlement annuities are the insurance company's way of earning interest on the money they invest when you settled. In other words, the insurance carrier is only paying a small portion to you and the rest is paid out of the continued interest they earn. Is it no wonder then that the insurance carrier or annuity payer wants to pay you over time? (i.e. the sum of all the future payments) includes a great deal of interest that hasn't been earned yet. Thus structured settlements are similar to the way a mortgage earns interest. When borrowing money for a home mortgage, the bank gives you $100,000 note. But add up the payments and you really are paying the bank 250,000 - 300,000 depending on interest rates and terms).

    By converting future payments into a annuity you gain a potent weapon in fighting inflation as the following illustrates the effectiveness of inflation and the power of compounding interest you receive when cashing in a structured settlement. A annuity of cash grows in value as an investment at a particular interest rate will double in a certain number of years. You can easily determine how quickly your investments will double simply by dividing 72 by the interest rate that you anticipate receiving on a given investment. For example, an investment that will yield 10% per year will double approximately every 7.2 years (72/10 = 7.2). A 12% yield would mean your investment doubles every 6 years. Below is a chart with the interest accumulation on a $15,000 investment at various interest rates over the course of a number of years.

    Structured Settlement Annuity Funding Options:

    1. Selling a specified amount of future Structured Settlement Payments
    2.Selling all future Structured Settlement Payments

    Payment options are available if you're receiving payments from a structured settlement or annuity and such structured settlement payments are not meeting your current financial needs, 1st Choice Funding's investment resources can unleash the converting of future structured settlement payments into a annuity of cash today. 1st Choice Funding's investor portfolio has the ability to purchase and quickly fund structured settlement and annuities in all 50 states and as such we understanding the "Present Value" of Future Payments to provide to you the most cash today.

    Sometimes, there is confusion surrounding the amounts paid to sellers for their future cash payments. Many Sellers initially think that our prices are highly discounted. This is simply untrue. Part of the money you are getting in the future is interest that hasn't been earned yet. On a structured settlement annuity for example. The insurance company is simply paying you the interest on the money they invested when you settled your case. The "amount" of the settlement (ie. the sum of all the future payments) includes a great deal of interest that hasn't been earned yet. Take the example of a United States Government bond:

    As of August, 1998, a $100,000 zero coupon (pays zero interest) United States Treasury Bond due August 20, 2017 was worth $31,780, less than one third of it's nominal or face value.

    Is the U.S. Government getting ripped off in a highly competitive global free market? The answer is obviously no. The simple fact of the matter is the promise to pay $100,000 (or any amount) in the future is not worth that amount today. The further in the future it is due, the less it is worth today.

    Structured Settlement Annuity Funding of Lottery Prizes

    Many state lotteries now offer a annuity option instead of the traditional 20 - 25 year annuity payout. However, as we all know, when you elect to receive a annuity you typically receive about one half of the advertised prize amount. In fact, what the lottery commissions do is identical to a structured settlement. An annuity or U.S. Treasury bonds are purchased to fund the future payments due to the winner. Attached is a copy of the State of New Jersey's annuity formula and a thorough description of the California Annuity Prize Payment Procedure from the California Lottery. Both demonstrate that the actual value (the present value) of the stated jackpot is really about half that amount and both states allow people who have elected to receive an annuity to change their minds and sell some or all of their future payments to a Lottery/Settlement Purchasing Company.

    Structured Settlement Annuity Funding Purchases Are Like Mortgages...

    When one borrows money for a home mortgage the bank gives you - say $100,000. But if you add up the payments you make back to the bank they total 250,000 - 300,000 (depending on interest rates and terms). In essence, settlement purchasers do exactly the same thing only we take the risk if the insurance company goes bankrupt - you owe us nothing. Also, since these transactions are not loans they don't affect your ability to borrow from other sources.

    Structured Settlement Annuity Funding… Still Not Convinced? Consider the following:

    It is an axiom that the further in the future you are expecting to receive a sum of money, the less it is worth today, in part because of inflation. Inflation will make the value of the payments shrink in coming years. By converting future payments into a annuity, an individual gains a potent weapon in fighting inflation. The following illustrates the effects of inflation and the power of compounding:

    Structured Settlement Annuity Funding Moneys Grow in Value vs. Depreciate

    The Rule of 72 states that an investment at a particular interest rate will double in a certain number of years. You can easily determine how quickly your investments will double simply by dividing 72 by the interest rate that you anticipate receiving in a given investment. For example, an investment that will yield 10% per year will double approximately every 7.2 years (72/10 = 7.2). A 12% yield would mean your investment doubles every 6 years. Below is a chart with the Rule of 72 applied to a $15,000 investment at various interest rates over the course of a number of years. This gives you some idea of how much a annuity today can be worth in the future.
