How you make money
Median 47% net annualized return as of December 31, 2020. LexShares makes it possible to invest in commercial legal claims in exchange for a portion of any monetary recovery. This fast-growing asset class is called “litigation finance,” and it arms corporate plaintiffs facing economically-advantaged defendants with the capital necessary to level the financial playing field. When LexShares’ expert legal team approves a legal claim for investment, it launches on lexshares.com--at which point individuals can invest, follow the progress of the litigation, and have the potential to earn returns if the case resolves positively by way of settlement or adjudication. As of December 31, 2020, the median net annualized return on the platform is 47%.
How LexShares makes money
There are no management fees charged to investors who participate in investment offerings posted to the LexShares platform. LexShares earns a carried interest (share of the profit) from legal claim investments that resolve positively. LexShares also manages a private fund, LexShares Marketplace Fund II (LMFII), and takes a management fee and carried interest from resolved investments in the Fund. Capital from LMFII is deployed into each offering posted to the LexShares platform, giving investors an efficient means of accessing each LexShares investment opportunity.
Is it safe?
Litigation finance investments are typically non-recourse, which means that if the legal claim does not resolve positively, investors may bear a total loss on their investment. Additional risks include concentration risk, lack of control over the prosecution of the underlying claims, and the claimant's inability to assert and collect on their claims. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in legal claims are speculative, carry a high degree of risk, may result in a loss of entire investment, may be subject to long holding requirements, and are intended for investors who do not need a liquid investment. Returns are based on LexShares' internal reporting for offerings through the LexShares platform. Results reported reflect the simple median annualized rate of return, net of fees and expenses. Diversification does not guarantee profits or protect against losses.
