Litigation Finance involves the provision of third-party capital to law firms or plaintiffs pursuing legal claims in exchange for, or collateralized by, a percentage of proceeds received upon the successful resolution of legal disputes. This is an emerging asset class in the U.S. that is generally underbanked, inefficient and uncorrelated to other asset classes.
Litigation Finance investments can take many different forms. Aperture views the litigation finance asset class through a private credit lens and will primarily provide structured loans to law firms collateralized by expected fee receivables stemming from procedurally mature, settled, and/or short duration legal cases, targeting uncorrelated returns with relatively low risk.
Aperture's competitive advantage stems from blending an institutional private credit strategy with a specialized focus on the Litigation Finance sector. This approach prioritizes generating compelling risk-adjusted returns for investors.

Additionally, the investment team’s deep experience, having underwritten and collaborated with 25+ firms and deployed over $1 billion, enables strong pattern recognition and insight into key legal issues, enhancing its ability to assess and manage risk effectively.
