What are DCF Income Payments?
DCF Income Payments originate as structured settlements of personal injury cases that include defined future payment streams backed by annuities.
Individuals who sell some or all of their future payments do so in a court-ordered assignment process whereby the annuity issuers and legal counsel comply with state-specific transfer laws and IRS statutes. DCF Exchange is a buyer of these payments and distributes DCF Income Payments through a network of financial advisors nationwide, including this website.
Purchasers of DCF Income Payments become the new payee of these transferred, in-force payment streams backed by annuities. At no time are transferred payment streams pooled, aggregated, managed by or subject to fees of a manager.
All purchaser acquisition funds and assigned payments are handled by a state and federally regulated bank and trust company in a dedicated escrow account environment.
DCF Income Payments come in three categories:
For Income Now, use Immediate Income DCF Payments
For Income Later, use Deferred Income DCF Payments
For Safe Growth, use Lump Sum DCF Payments

Assets: $500,000 in 2 IRA’s
Solution: Our fixed income streams produced more than enough income for 20 years.

Solution: Used multiple life contingent and fixed income and lump sum streams and a family trust to create a substantial deferred income and asset base for future.

Using long term deferred longevity insurance, life contingent, and fixed term payments, Paul’s blended average assumed rate of return through age 100 is over 8%, all 100% safe.
