Section 1 · Overview
Strategy at a Glance
KPC Litigation Finance provides eligible investors access to an institutional litigation funding strategy that deploys non-recourse and structured capital into U.S. personal injury cases, mass torts, and law firm portfolios — generating returns from case outcomes rather than market cycles.
The strategy is designed to produce consistent monthly net returns with low correlation to traditional equity and fixed income markets, with diversification across thousands of underlying cases at any given time.
Source: Underlying Sub-Fund Manager3Section 1 · Overview
Market Background: Litigation Finance
U.S. litigation finance is a multi-billion-dollar private market built around providing capital to plaintiffs, law firms, and case portfolios in exchange for a share of eventual recoveries. The background below is general market context — not specific to the Underlying Manager or KPC Litigation Finance.11
What Is Litigation Finance?
In a non-recourse litigation funding transaction, capital is advanced to a plaintiff, law firm, or portfolio of cases. Repayment — principal, interest, or a contractually defined share of any recovery — is owed only if a case settles or wins. If a funded case is lost, the funder does not recover its capital from that case.
Litigation finance also encompasses recourse law-firm lending, fee-sharing arrangements, and (in jurisdictions such as Arizona and Utah) Alternative Business Structures (ABS) that permit non-attorney equity participation in law firm contingency revenue.
Why the Opportunity Persists
- U.S. civil litigation creates hundreds of billions in potential recoveries annually; plaintiffs and small law firms frequently lack the capital to pursue them to resolution
- The global litigation finance market is projected to grow from approximately $25.6B in 2025 to $64.8B by 2035 — roughly a 153% increase11
- Returns are driven by legal outcomes — settlements, verdicts, procedural milestones — not equity markets or credit spreads, creating a structurally diversifying return stream
- Regulatory expansion (ABS structures in AZ and UT) is creating new institutional access points to law firm contingency economics
The opportunity is reinforced by long-standing supply/demand imbalances: plaintiffs need capital to wait for justice, law firms need working capital to scale, and institutional investors are seeking returns uncorrelated to public markets.11
Section 2 · Philosophy
Investment Philosophy
“Returns come from underwriting discipline, not from predicting outcomes.”
The Underlying Manager believes that non-recourse legal funding — when underwritten at scale with institutional discipline — can generate consistent, uncorrelated returns across market cycles. The edge lies not in predicting individual legal outcomes, but in selecting cases where the probability-weighted expected return, in aggregate, is highly favorable.
Source: Underlying Sub-Fund Manager3Rigorous Case Underwriting
Every case is evaluated on legal merit, jurisdiction, expected case duration, adversary collectability, and counsel quality. The Investment Committee holds final approval authority on every commitment.
Portfolio Diversification First
Capital is deployed across thousands of cases, dozens of case types, multiple geographies, and varying durations. No single investment exceeds approximately 11% of portfolio value — diversification is treated as a first-order risk control.
Structural Alignment with Counsel
The strategy uses ABS law-firm equity structures, fee-sharing arrangements, and co-counsel models where permitted — aligning the fund’s upside with the partner law firms it works with.
Section 2 · Philosophy
Investment Approach
Diverse Case Mix
- Mass torts (large multi-plaintiff litigation) diversified across thousands of underlying claims
- Portfolio / docket funding lets stronger outcomes offset underperforming matters
- High-volume, shorter-duration motor vehicle accident cases provide regular cash flow
Structured Risk Controls
- Non-recourse advances limit per-case loss to the funded amount
- Recourse law-firm lending provides lower-risk, predictable cash-flow exposure
- Position sizing based on case merit, jurisdiction quality, and counsel track record
Proprietary Sourcing
- Relationship-driven origination via long-standing plaintiff-side law firm network
- 80%+ of origination is non-brokered and not broadly marketed
- ABS structures in Arizona and Utah enable participation in law firm contingency revenue
Section 3 · Opportunity
The Investment Opportunity
Plaintiffs & Law Firms
U.S. plaintiffs (individuals, workers, patients) frequently cannot afford to wait years for resolution; law firms face rising costs and increasingly complex multi-district litigation. Capital is the unlock that allows cases to be pursued to fair resolution.
The Opportunity
The global litigation finance market is projected to grow from $25.6B (2025) to $64.8B (2035). Despite that growth, institutional capital remains a small fraction of the total U.S. tort market, creating ongoing alpha opportunity for experienced operators.11
Favorable, Negotiated Terms
Because financing is privately negotiated case-by-case (or portfolio-by-portfolio), the Underlying Manager can structure terms — interest rates, fee shares, repayment priorities — that aim to improve the risk/return profile relative to comparable public-market exposure.
The strategy seeks to capture a structural premium for providing capital to a legal system that needs it — not for taking on undifferentiated market risk.

Investment Process
Origination
Proprietary deal flow via law firm relationships, ABS structures, and selected aggregation platforms.
Screening
Initial review of legal merit, case type, jurisdiction, anticipated duration, and return potential.
Due Diligence
Counsel assessment, budget modeling, adversary collectability analysis, expert engagement as needed.
Investment Committee
Four-member committee with majority vote required; led by Managing Member with Head of Underwriting, CFO/CCO, and Chief of Staff.
Funding & Monitoring
Capital disbursed to law firms, medical providers, and vendors; ongoing case updates tracked centrally with milestone-level reporting.
Returns are realized at settlement or judgment — principal + interest on structured loans, or an agreed share of contingency proceeds on co-counsel arrangements. Only after every prior stage has been completed is capital committed.
Every transaction passes through each stage in sequence; certain steps may run concurrently depending on the investment.

How a Litigation Finance Investment Works
The two illustrative examples below are simplified, hypothetical representations of common transaction structures used in this strategy. They are intended to help advisors understand the mechanics — not to represent actual portfolio returns.
Non-Recourse Case Funding (Illustrative)
Capital is advanced to a plaintiff or law firm to pursue a specific case. If the case settles or wins, the fund receives principal plus a contractually defined share of recovery. If the case is lost, no repayment is owed.
The portfolio is diversified across thousands of cases, so case-level binary outcomes smooth into a more predictable aggregate return profile.
Recourse Law-Firm Lending (Illustrative)
Working-capital loans to law firms in which repayment is required regardless of any single case outcome, secured by the firm’s broader receivables and contingency book.
Recourse lending provides lower-risk, more predictable cash flow that complements the higher-return-potential non-recourse book.
For illustrative purposes only. Hypothetical and not indicative of actual or future performance. Non-recourse legal funding involves substantial risk, including total loss on funded cases. See Important Disclosures.

Current Portfolio Exposures
Snapshot of the underlying strategy’s portfolio composition. Composition is dynamic — the strategy is deal-driven and will change as cases are originated, funded, and resolved.10
Allocation by Law-Firm State
Allocation by Strategy Type
The Underlying Manager is case-type-diversified by design and pursues opportunities across the U.S. personal injury landscape rather than concentrating on a single docket type.
Concentration (top positions as % of portfolio)
Largest single investment represents 10.9% of total portfolio value as of Q1 2026.10
Portfolio Structure
- Tens of thousands of underlying case-level exposures at any given time
- Mix of non-recourse, recourse, and fee-sharing structures across the book
- No single case represents existential risk to the portfolio
- Concentration actively monitored at the case, law firm, and case-type level
Section 5 · Portfolio
Portfolio Construction & Risk Mitigation
How the Portfolio Is Built
- Capital is deployed across case types, geographies, durations, and law firms; largest single position is approximately 11% of portfolio value
- Duration blend: shorter-duration cases (MVA, medical receivables) provide regular cash flow; longer-duration mass torts provide upside optionality
- Structure selection balances non-recourse (higher return potential), recourse lending (lower risk), and fee-sharing (equity-like upside via ABS)
- Position sizing reflects case merit, expected duration, jurisdiction quality, and counsel track record
Risk Mitigation in Practice
- Non-recourse structure limits loss to invested capital per case; diversification smooths outcomes at the portfolio level
- Multi-step IC process with expert consultation and legal merit review required before any commitment
- No single law firm exceeds approximately 12.4% of portfolio value; relationships span 10+ states and multiple practice areas
- Annual audits by PKF O'Connor Davies; compliance supported by Kroll; ABS exposure limited to jurisdictions where legally permitted

Section 8 · Portfolio Fit
Considering a Litigation Finance Allocation
Litigation finance is generally considered alongside, rather than in place of, traditional equity and fixed income allocations. Advisors evaluating a potential allocation to KPC Litigation Finance often consider the following questions.
What role might this strategy play?
Strategies of this type are often used by advisors seeking return streams less tied to broad equity or bond market direction, with return drivers rooted in case-level legal outcomes rather than security selection or market timing. The 60/40 portfolio impact analysis (Section 6) illustrates this diversification effect historically.
What should clients understand about liquidity?
KPC Litigation Finance is an evergreen vehicle with defined subscription and redemption terms — $100,000 minimum, monthly subscriptions, quarterly redemptions on 65-day notice, a 12-month hard / 12-month soft lock-up, a 5% early redemption fee, and a 25% fund-level gate, as set out in the KPC Fund Terms Summary.2 This strategy is generally appropriate for capital that can accommodate reduced liquidity relative to public market instruments.
Where can advisors find further performance detail?
Full net historical performance, monthly returns, and additional risk statistics for KPC Litigation Finance are provided in the companion Performance summary, updated monthly and reflecting both KPC platform-level fees and the underlying sub-fund manager’s fees and incentive allocation.1
