Litigation finance, private credit, structured investments

What we introduce.

Three areas of the private markets. Each opportunity is selected with care, and full details are shared privately after an introductory call.

Current focus

Litigation finance

Capital that funds legal claims, repaid from what the claims recover. Returns depend on legal outcomes rather than on markets.

What it is
Litigation finance provides the capital legal claims need to reach a result. Investors fund the claims, usually through a note or agreement with the law firm or funder running them, and are repaid from what the claims recover.
Where returns come from
The outcome and timing of the underlying claims: settlements, court awards or payments under a redress scheme. They are not tied to share prices or interest rates.
What we look for
A law firm regulated by its professional body, a large and diversified book of claims, a clear legal basis, and protection arrangements that are properly explained.
Areas we cover
Consumer redress portfolios, including UK motor finance claims (our current focus), commercial litigation, international arbitration, insolvency and asset recovery, and judgment enforcement.
Worth knowing
Legal processes can take longer than expected, and capital is at risk. The documentation sets out the terms in full.

Private credit

Lending outside the traditional banking system, through specialist lenders and privately negotiated loans with agreed terms and security.

What it is
Private credit is lending that happens outside the traditional banking system. Specialist lenders provide finance to businesses or projects on privately negotiated terms.
Where returns come from
Interest paid by borrowers under agreed terms, with the loan repaid at the end of the term.
What we look for
Who the borrowers are, how the lending is structured, what security sits behind it, and the lender’s record of collecting repayments.
Worth knowing
Returns depend on borrowers repaying as agreed. Repayments can be delayed and capital is at risk.

Structured investments

Exposure to specialist assets or strategies through a contractual arrangement, with a defined term and repayment structure.

What it is
Structured investments give exposure to a specialist asset or strategy through a contractual arrangement, such as a note or bond issued for a defined term.
Where returns come from
The performance of the underlying asset or strategy, paid according to the repayment structure set out in the contract.
What we look for
Clear product terms, a well-understood issuer and its obligations, and a repayment structure investors can follow from start to finish.
Worth knowing
Each product is different, so the terms matter. Payments can be delayed and capital is at risk.

A general comparison for illustration. Every opportunity is different, so always read its own documentation.

What every opportunityhas to show us

We introduce very few opportunities. Before one reaches an investor, we look for the same things we would want for our own capital.

01

An established counterparty

A provider with a track record and proper governance and, for legal claims, a law firm regulated by its professional body.

02

A clear basis for returns

We need to understand exactly how returns are generated and what has to happen for investors to be repaid.

03

Spread, not a single bet

Where possible, capital is spread across many claims, loans or assets, so no single outcome decides the result.

04

Protection that is explained

Any security, insurance or contractual protection is set out clearly in the documentation, including its limits.

05

Documentation and reporting

Proper legal documentation, and regular reporting from the provider during the term.

06

A genuine fit on both sides

Ticket size, time horizon and residency are checked before anyone is introduced.
