Litigation crowdfunding platform TrialFunder is claiming some pretty lucrative returns available to investors. The site states that TrialFunder is now providing pre-settlement funding to plaintiffs that can deliver 3.5% to 5% compounded monthly, “which represent annualized returns of 51.1% to 79.9% to investors”. These investment opportunities are available to accredited individuals only but you may “invest in a lawsuit” for as little as $50. TrialFunder draws a comparison between HedgeFunds and their site – highlighting the steep returns at a far smaller commitment.
TrialFunder views their platform as a “high yield alternative investment”. TrialFunder CEO Anoush Hakimi, states;
“Before we launched, investors did not have access to these highly lucrative investment opportunities. A handful of industry players had a monopoly on these tremendous investments and were making all of the money. We’re going to change that!”
TrialFunder has announced a new series of litigation investment opportunities including the concussion lawsuit of a former NFL linebacker who played for the Falcons and Green Bay Packers. They also have listed a claim on the First Responder under the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.
Trial Funder COO, Peter Shahriari, said litigation is a great investment and is not subject to market vagaries;
“Our platform results in larger and faster settlements. The net result is high returns for investors in short periods of time. 95% of lawsuits settle before trial, so an investor can expect a high return within as short as a few months.”
TrialFunder believes it is a “buyers market”, and there is a shortage of capital meaning a favorable opportunity for investors.
