An insurance and settlement industry veteran,
M. Bryan Freeman established Habersham Funding LLC in 2001. He has been
a licensed life insurance agent for 28 years and has been engaged in
the life settlement industry since 1989, giving him more experience
in life settlements than virtually anyone involved in the industry.
Bryan is in his fourth term on the board of the Life Insurance Settlement
Association (the industry's premier trade organization). He served an
unprecedented four terms as that body's President, and is in his second
term as Vice President, Government Affairs, which he assumed after leaving
the presidency of LISA.
Bryan began his career as an insurance agent (giving him a comprehensive
understanding of the principles involved in life settlements). He previously
founded and sold a national life settlement brokerage firm.
Bryan and his staff have been actively involved in the development of
responsible regulation and legislation of the life settlement industry
since its inception. His activism helped federal employees and veterans
gain the right to transact settlements and cleared the way for tax-free
treatment for some settlements. Bryan has testified before a financial
services committee of the U.S. Congress on industry-related issues,
state legislative committees and the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners and the National Conference of Insurance Regulators on
numerous occasions. His expertise in the life settlement industry is
recognized internationally.
In 2006 Bryan was recognized with resolutions from both houses of the
Georgia Legislature for his settlement industry leadership. He has been
involved in the purchase and sale of life insurance policies with a
total face value exceeding $1,000,000,000. He was educated at The Darlington
School and The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech).
