Mr. Schantz has been at the forefront of the development of the many life settlement tools and services that Noble offers.
Mr. Schantz has been in the life settlement industry since 2009, and began his career by overseeing all life settlement policies being submitted for review on behalf of a life settlement firm. Mr. Schantz ensured that the company was able to optimize the value of each policy being considered for acquisition. He also managed all aspects of the company’s servicing department, which was not only properly maintaining its own life settlement policies, but was also originally servicing a large portfolio of life settlements for a Wall Street bank. Over the years, Mr. Schantz has created unique and proprietary life settlement models which have given the company and its business partners a competitive edge in uncovering hidden value in policies that most companies would likely have to hire an outside actuary to determine.

Mr. Schantz graduated from Villanova University in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a concentration in finance.
