Overview
Allen & Calabro is seeking $25 million to acquire interests in meritorious, commercial litigation claims
- Litigation finance assets provide diversification and are non-correlated to traditional investments
- For nearly a decade, the Allen & Calabro principals have worked collaboratively as a team in commercial litigation against economically superior opponents
Opportunity
The litigation finance industry is still nascent, and most commercial litigation funders seek cases with greater than $20 million in hard, estimated damages
- Most American commercial litigation funders focus on larger cases, ignoring smaller target cases, thereby creating significant opportunities
- Estimated market penetration by number of cases filed is < 1%
- Industry literature reports that “Demand for litigation financing continues to grow with no sign of slowing down”
Solution
- Pursue overlooked, smaller, meritorious cases with less than $20 million in estimated damages
- Expect to fund multiple cases and work with multiple plaintiffs’ lawyers, general counsels and chief financial officers

Specific Risks
- The risk of timely origination of quality litigation finance assets
- Resolution risk – no collection from a particular asset – may be caused by the underlying litigation resolving unfavorably to the Fund’s position, and/or the client refusing to forward payment to the Fund
- Changes in the legal/regulatory landscape could adversely affect performance
- Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment
