For over 25 years, Coventry has been redefining insurance. Founded in 1982, Coventry began as an insurance marketing, product development and policy administration firm. Known as a leading innovator in the industry, Coventry assisted insurance carriers in the development of product, software and distribution. It established itself as one of the top corporate life insurance companies in America during the 1990s, servicing over 70,000 policies for its corporate clients. In 1998, Coventry created the secondary market for life insurance in the United States and coined the term “life settlement”.
As the market leader, Coventry has structured and financed transactions representing more than $25 billion of death benefit and has been a key driver behind the market’s rapid growth. Today, Coventry is the largest purchaser and servicer in the longevity and mortality market, employing more than 200 people. Based in Pennsylvania, Coventry was the first secondary market firm to earn Standard and Poor’s highest servicer ranking (2004 and reaffirmed in 2006). In 2005, Coventry was first in revenue in the insurance category of the annual Inc. 500 listing of the fastest growing private companies in America.
