History
The founders of Milestone performed early market analysis beginning in 2002 by evaluating market trends and initiating discussions with potential institutional capital, relative to the alternative, uncorrelated and fixed-income nature of the asset class known as life settlements.
Milestone was established as limited liability companies in early 2004, and began acquiring life settlement and viatical provider licenses in regulated states at that time, while continuing their efforts of guiding institutional capital into the marketplace. Recognizing the need for greater efficiencies in the life settlement market, Milestone designed and built an efficient and scalable platform by which to trade and monitor life insurance policies.
Many institutional investors and pension funds have been attracted to life settlements . Milestone facilitates purchase transactions for these institutional investors, including one of the worlds leading asset management groups.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
