An upcoming digital conference hosted by LFJ promises to uncover how LPs and institutional investors think about their Litigation Finance investments. The February 4th conference begins at 11 am EST, and will feature a panel discussion, Q&A with attendees, and a keynote speech from Charles Agee of Westfleet Advisors.
- How do university endowments, PE firms and private wealth managers evaluate litigation funding opportunities?
- How do they select managers to partner with?
- What are their pain points?
- And how do they feel about the future of the industry?
Panelists include:
Jonathan Rix: Senior associate at Partners Capital. Mr. Rix holds a BA from Oxford and Level 3 CFA certification.
David Demeter: Investment Director at Davidson College since 2018. Prior to Davidson, Mr. Demeter was manager of Investments at the University of Michigan for 12 years.
Kendra Corbett: Principal on the Investment Team at Cloverlay. Prior to Cloverlay, Ms. Corbett was an Investment Advisor at Veritable for 15 years.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Ed Truant, seasoned litigation funding investor and founder of Slingshot Capital.
Additionally, the event will feature a keynote address from Charles Agee, founder of litigation funding advisory firm Westfleet Advisors. Mr. Agee co-founded one of the first-ever Litigation Finance companies back in 1998. He was instrumental in building funding portfolios and ensuring that ethical guidelines were followed in an industry that was still largely unregulated. He founded Westfleet Advisors in 2013, with the intention of bringing third-party funding to a wider range of clients.
Mr. Agee’s keynote presentation will cover highlights from Westfleet’s 2020 report on the litigation finance market.
Tickets for the event can be found here. All ticket holders will receive a recording of the conference post-event, regardless of ability to attend.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
