Abacus Life Chairman and CEO Jay Jackson

Should de-SPAC’d companies consider buying back their shares
rather than making offers for their warrants? Abacus Life
(NASDAQ:ABL) believes the answer is yes.


This week, we catch up with with Abacus Life Chairman and CEO Jay
Jackson. He tells us why he thinks his company’s stock has
managed to perform well in the six months since closing its SPAC
combination and why he has taken the unorthodox decision to buy
back shares rather than deal immediately with Abacus Life’s
warrant overhang.


We also discuss the future of the company’s business of acquiring
life insurance policies and how it is now engaging directly with
policy holders and the insurance issuers as clients.


With many years at work investing in such policies, what has the
data told Abacus Life about longevity and long-term health
itself?
