Abacus Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: ABX) (“Abacus” or the “Company”), an alternative asset manager focused on longevity-based assets with data-driven wealth and technology solutions, today announced the publication of a letter from Chief Investment Officer Elena Plesco addressing recent investor questions on interest rate sensitivity and the Company’s valuation approach.

Following investor calls held after the Company’s second quarter 2026 earnings release, Abacus received frequent questions on two topics: how movements in prevailing discount rates affect the Company’s business, and an update to the methodology used to value policies held on its balance sheet. The letter, titled “Valuation Update and Mid-Year Outlook,” addresses both directly, including:

  • An explanation of how the discount rate at which Abacus transacts is set by market conditions at the time of sale, and why the Company’s realized gains on policy sales have remained within a consistent range across a range of interest rate environments over the past four years;

  • Detail on the Company’s updated Historical Return Method for valuing policies, effective in the second quarter of 2026; and

  • A review of first-half 2026 operating results, including origination volume, capital deployed, and turnover of the Company’s policy portfolio.

On why the Historical Return Method fits Abacus:

“The discount rate methodology is certainly more appropriate for pools of capital that intend to hold these assets to maturity vs. a pool of capital that houses them temporarily… The Historical Return Method is the right lens for a balance sheet whose role is to originate, warehouse, and sell,” said Elena Plesco, Chief Investment Officer of Abacus Global Management.

The full letter is available on the Company’s investor relations website here.
