White Eagle Portfolio Highlights
'White Eagle performed well in the third quarter with 13 policy maturities that yielded an aggregate benefit of $43.2 million,' said Pat Curry, Emergent's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 'While COVID-19 has slowed the processing times to produce and confirm death certificates in certain states, which has impacted White Eagle collections, we believe this to be a temporary issue that will not have a lasting or material impact on distributions.'
