About Us
Our story begins in 2007, when Mark and Chris were working together in the Asset Finance Group at Mizuho International, a principal investment team formed to focus on the life settlements market.
How we started
After leaving Mizuho, Mark came up with the concept of “Bloomberg for life settlements” – a platform that would allow for communication between market participants and create a common language to express value and risk – and started ClearLife as the springboard to launch his idea.
In July 2009, the first version of ClariNet was released and in August 2009, Mark co-authored the leading professional work on market practice, “Life Settlements and Longevity Derivatives” (Wiley Finance, 2009).
Our team continues to leverage our experience as longevity investors to build practical solutions for our clients in all markets.
