"Demand for outside funding outstrips supply. Returns are impressive."
The Economist, April 2013
Litigation Finance Attributes
- The market for litigation finance is inefficient. Demand for litigation funding outstrips supply.
- Litigation finance is non-correlated to both public and private investment markets and generally not influenced by market forces that can adversely impact other asset classes.
- The opportunity for quicker investment turnover relative to private equity and venture capital. Individual case investments typically average about 2.5 years.
- A low cost asset class. Costs associated with capital deployment and management are often meaningfully less than for private equity and venture capital asset classes.
- Diversification is a powerful tool in this asset class to reduce volatility
