5/15/2013
Do you receive a monthly pension from a former employer? Are you getting regular distributions from a settlement following a personal injury lawsuit? If so, you may be targeted by salespeople offering you a lump sum today to buy the rights to some or all of the payments you would otherwise receive in the future. Typically the lump sum offered will be less than the total of the periodic payments you would otherwise receive. After acquiring the rights to a future income stream, these companies may turn around and sell these income streams to retail investors.
