JBSL is a legal finance company, but that is the only thing we have in common with our competitors. We operate in stark contrast to other litigation funders as we are one of the only litigation funding team that actively manages its investment portfolio.
We structure every deal with the objective to create liquidity via syndication and other tools. Typical litigation funders tend to hold to maturity, even where portfolio management takes risk off the table or solidifies a gain. In contrast, JBSL actively trades our investments in the secondary market.
We are a prolific user of insurance and have developed many of the market’s best practices.
JBSL uses proactive balance sheet management to maintain upside by using risk transfer trades to recycle funds and reduce cost capital, and leverages and insures transactions to recycle capital.
