Alternative Investments and Litigation Financing as an Asset Class for Investors

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Relying solely on stocks or real estate is no longer enough for many investors today. While traditional investment options are considered solid, they do not always deliver the desired return. In light of geopolitical tensions such as the war in Gaza or Ukraine and ongoing economic uncertainties, many investors find it difficult to reliably assess the risks of conventional assets. This is exactly where alternative investments come into play.

These are investment forms that go beyond traditional assets. This includes, for example, private equity—investments in non-listed companies—as well as art, cryptocurrencies, or litigation financing. This type of investment is becoming increasingly attractive. Especially because it offers new alternative investment opportunities that are completely independent of the performance of the financial markets.

Alternative investments are gaining importance. According to the Preqin study “Future of Alternatives 2029,” global assets under management in alternative investments are expected to reach around USD 29.2 trillion by the end of 2029. This corresponds to an annual growth rate of 9.7 percent.

Interest is growing in Germany as well. Alternative investments are no longer reserved just for institutional investors. Platforms like AEQUIFIN are opening up the market and making investments in new areas like litigation financingaccessible. An opportunity that has so far been largely untapped—but offers enormous potential.

Litigation Financing as a High-Yield Alternative Investment

The idea behind litigation financing is simple. Investors act as sponsors for selected legal disputes and receive a share of the awarded amount if the case is successful. For many plaintiffs, court proceedings are too expensive or too risky. This is where litigation financiers step in and cover the costs. In return, they receive a previously agreed monetary share if the case ends with a favorable verdict. If the case is lost, they bear the financial risk alone.

This opens up an exciting opportunity for investors. They can participate in such proceedings without being legally involved themselves. The expected returns are attractive, and the sponsorship is independent of fluctuations in the financial markets. Legal disputes do not follow stock market trends. This results in predictable stability and portfolio diversification.

Compared to classic alternative investments funds, such as private equity or real estate funds, litigation financingoffers a more direct form of participation—with transparent processes and clearly defined return opportunities. Moreover, the capital is usually not tied up for years. Many cases last only a few months to a maximum of two years. This allows for planned capital commitment and faster access to profit sharing.

Market & Growth of Litigation Financing in Germany

While litigation financing has long been an established part of the investment market in the United States, it is still in its infancy in Germany. Yet it offers enormous potential. The market is growing steadily, as more and more companies and individuals are looking for ways to pursue legal action.

So far, the German market has been served by a few specialized litigation financing providers, usually focused on large-scale litigation and corporate clients. Access for investors has been heavily restricted. The market was considered non-transparent and difficult to access.

This is exactly where AEQUIFIN comes in. As the first and so far only provider, AEQUIFIN is opening up the German market to investors and making litigation financing in Germany a real alternative investment opportunity for the sponsorship of legal claims. Demand is increasing—and with the right access, investors now have the opportunity to benefit from a growing emerging market. All before it becomes fully established.
