Where does the value come from? I can’t sell my car insurance policy so how is life insurance different?

Who is buying them and why?

UK based if it makes a difference

It’s not a ‘sale’ so much as a trade. They’re trading the future lump sum payment for a smaller one now. The person on the other side of the trade gets the future payment.

It works because a funded, vested life insurance is basically guaranteed to pay out, eventually. Everyone dies. It’s just a matter of timing.
