TRANSCRIPT
Richard Beleutz, Chief Executive Officer
When we started AIR in 2014, it was about bringing life settlements to high-net-worth investors and institutions. It was about creating an organization that could stand the test of time and make a tangible impact in people's lives. Looking back over the past decade, from where we started in our humble beginnings to where we are today, it fills me with pride to know that we are realizing this vision.
Stephen Luongo, Chief Investment Officer
As one of the first on board, witnessing our strategy evolve has been remarkable. We've honed an award-winning multi-strategy approach, focusing on life settlements, annuities, and private credit. Our success has been driven by the talent and dedication of our team. This group of professionals has grown and developed expertise in diverse areas, and for that, I'm proud.
Matthew Schaefer, Chief Financial & Operations Officer
When I first joined AIR as a consultant, I quickly realized this was more than a company just going through the motions. It was a tight-knit team committed to a mission, and it was a team I wanted to be a part of. Since then, building robust back-office functions has been my focus to ensure our foundation is as strong as our vision. The next decade is about scaling, optimizing, and using technology to drive us to even greater heights.
Scott Romanek, Managing Director
Wow, ten years of AIR Asset Management. From my start in January 2018, our growth has been powered by relationships with family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Today, seeing larger institutions recognize the value in life settlements, an asset class we've championed, is incredibly rewarding.
Andrea Hoch, Senior Director of Investor Relations
My journey from intern to all aspects of this business, operationally, financially, and with portfolio management, has given me the broad perspective that helps me articulate the nuances of our unique strategy to investors. The sophistication of our investor base and the meaningful partnerships we've built underscore the diversification and innovation at the heart of our strategies.
Taylor Garvey, Senior Director of Marketing
When I started, the life settlement industry was less familiar as an investable asset. Today, AIR is at the forefront of educating investors, bridging gaps, and showcasing the mutual benefits of life settlements for investors and policyholders. As we've grown, it has become influential on many levels. Not just in terms of our investment strategies, but for the industry moving forward.
Carmel Wasemiller, Senior Director of Finance
AIR’s spirit and the results we deliver fuel my drive. Our team's deep dedication to managing multi-fund finances has solidified the foundation of our reporting. This transparency inspires confidence in our investors and builds trust.
Alex Ochoa, Senior Associate, Business Development
Asset diversification is fundamental in today's financial landscape. Introducing our flagship life settlement strategy to new investors and witnessing its growing appeal is a testament to AIR’s vision.
Renato Tizon, Senior Associate, Portfolio Management
I have been fortunate to marry my quantitative background with the complexity inherent to life settlements. The joy has been understanding all that is longevity and integrating the level of understanding in multiple ways from a portfolio point of view.
Cyndell Perkins-Prewitt, Investor Relations Associate
Life settlements embody the ethos of AIR: innovation, diversification, and capital preservation. It's fulfilling to see the societal impact of our work, benefiting both investors and policyholders.
