Risk Warnings
Important — please read carefully before investing
CAPITAL AT RISK. LBS instruments are unregulated investments. The value of your investment can go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Litigation Risk
Claims may fail at trial or receive lower settlements than anticipated. AiGLe grading assesses merits and quantum but cannot guarantee outcomes. Court decisions are inherently uncertain.

Changes in FCA policy, court rules, or legislation may affect claim values. The FCA motor finance redress scheme timetable may change. Regulatory decisions are outside LITDAQ's control.

Insurance Risk
ATE and CPI insurance reduces but does not eliminate risk. Insurer insolvency or policy avoidance would affect capital protection.

What is a Litigation-Backed Security?
A Litigation-Backed Security (LBS) is a debt instrument backed by a portfolio of consumer finance claims. Investors provide capital which funds the conduct of litigation. Returns are generated when claims settle or succeed at trial, entirely independent of equity markets, credit spreads, or interest rate movements.
Each LBS has a defined term of 18-36 months, a fixed target yield of 12-16%, and capital protection via ATE and CPI insurance. Returns are determined by court decisions and regulatory redress schemes, not macroeconomic conditions.
