Litigation funding has now been around for 15-17 years. What started out with a handfull of small mom and pop companies...has now turned into a "billion dollar industry". Where has the infusion of cash come from? Large banks, wall street, wealthy individuals, insurance companies and hedge funds.
These large sources of capital have come to realize that while stocks, bonds, currency , futures, commodities , puts and calls may be traditional investments, swings in the economy will ultimately control their value; while litigation funding will actually operate in a vacuum, independent of the local, national and world economies. In fact an argument can be made that funding will actually increase during economic downswings..
Your thoughts?
