The company has developed proprietary analytics and structured finance expertise to advise on life settlement-backed bond issuances, positioning it as a specialized player in a niche market. Its advisory role includes reimbursement for structuring expenses, advisory payments, and residual rights, which could provide diversified revenue streams beyond direct ownership of life settlement assets. The company’s strict purchasing guidelines and due diligence processes aim to mitigate risks associated with life settlement investments. Its small, focused team and strategic partnerships with bond placement agents and aggregators support its business model.

Sundance Strategies faces significant risks including its historical and ongoing reliance on external financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all, potentially limiting its ability to execute its business plan. The company operates in a highly competitive market dominated by larger, better capitalized firms, which may limit its access to attractive life settlement portfolios and clients. Its financial position shows current liabilities far exceeding current assets, and it has incurred net losses, indicating financial stress. The inherent unpredictability of life settlement cash flows, longevity risk, regulatory changes, and concentration in a volatile asset class add to the company’s operational and financial risks.

Sundance Strategies' moat lies in its specialized expertise and proprietary analytics in structuring bonds backed by life settlement assets, as well as its advisory role in the niche life settlements and structured finance markets. However, the company faces significant competition from larger, better capitalized firms with greater financial resources and market share. Its small scale and reliance on external financing and consultants limit its competitive advantage. The company's focus on niche advisory services and structured finance products related to life settlements provides some differentiation but also exposes it to market and regulatory risks inherent in this specialized sector.
