Fund liquidation services play a crucial role in navigating complex class action settlements. With increasing settlements across diverse sectors, the fund liquidation advisors help investors boost recoveries and meet fiduciary responsibilities.

Class action settlements in securities cases are often dismissed or settled, rarely going to trial. Investors must file claims and prove eligibility to receive funds, which are distributed based on specific criteria. The process is lengthy and complex, involving trade data and unique settlement terms. One in 12 publicly traded stocks on the S&P have some form of class action. 




We’ve partnered with Fund Liquidation Solutions LLC (“FLS”) to strengthen our offering. They bring extensive experience in boosting recoveries for securities related claims and provide the vital support needed to address the complex and often challenging process of winding down and liquidating investment funds.  


Key benefits 

    • Enhanced recovery 

Enhanced recovery facilitates paying more for recovery rights now than firms usually can on their own. This accelerates the return of capital to Limited Partners and delivers immediate cash benefits to both General Partners and Limited Partners. 

    • Outsourcing the complex process 

Checking your portfolio for exposure to settlements or class action lawsuits can be complex. Now you can simplify audits, cut costs, and reduce management oversight. 

    • Increased value for investors 

Your investors’ value will be settled in full when a fund or account is shut down reducing unnecessary costs and keeping accounts open. 

    • Fair value payment 

If your portfolio has exposure, FLS can pay a fair value for those positions, instead of you navigating class action suits and waiting for the class action payout.  

    • Automated technology 

A highly automated system handles large amounts of transaction data and value claims using proprietary models. 

The FLS process

    • Ensuring confidentiality 

The process is carried out under a non-disclosure agreement acceptable to the firm. 

    • Trade data management 

All necessary trade data resides directly with the prime broker or administrator in the required format. 

    • Streamline operational requests  

A standardised and simple request, which is highly automated and efficient, allows FLS to produce a cash bid within a few days. 

    • Cost free bid 

There are no costs for the bid, and it requires no work by the firm. Proceeds are used to cover wind-down expenses or distributed directly to investors 

    • Cash bid and purchase proceeds  

Upon receipt of the data by FLS, the fund will receive a firm cash bid within a week. Purchase proceeds are immediately wired to the designated account upon closing.
