Vitaro Group

What Vitaro Group does

Vitaro Group is an Oklahoma City-headquartered financial services firm that delivers independent, end-to-end infrastructure and transactional services for the institutional life settlement market. The company serves asset managers, institutional investors, capital providers, and legal/fiduciary professionals with a service menu spanning seven modules — policy management, life/mortality tracking, transaction management, advisory services, securities intermediary and custodial solutions, escrow services, and medical underwriting — delivered through wholly-owned subsidiaries including ISC (custody/securities intermediary), First Escrow (FDIC-insured escrow), HeritageMark, Vitaro Services, and Vitaro Advisory.

The underlying platform combines proprietary technology with human expertise: a daily mortality-tracking system that sweeps multiple databases and communicates with insureds, proprietary real-time longevity risk analysis for portfolio decision-making, a proprietary medical underwriting framework applied uniformly per case, and policy/premium management tooling covering onboarding, remediation, payment verification, and document management. The firm maintains a four-office footprint (Oklahoma City, Atlanta, New York, Munich) and is positioned as fully independent with no affiliations to insurance carriers, funds, or trading desks — explicitly marketed as a conflict-free alternative.

Vitaro's business model is fee-based across multiple streams: transaction fees on life settlement trades, professional services fees for policy management, valuation/modeling, advisory, and medical underwriting, plus custody and escrow fees on assets under administration. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the bespoke, institutional nature of engagements. The go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise sales led by senior management across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
