Originally conceived in 1989 as the newsletter, "Securities Class Action Alert, the Authoritative Report on Securities Class Actions" (which was subsequently sold), the areas covered by this website has been expanded to include other areas of interest and fiduciary duty in dealing with investment losses.

Institutional investors have a fiduciary obligation to recover funds lost through investments in public securities as the result of corporate mismanagement, market manipulation and/or other types of fraud.

That has been interpreted to include not only securities class actions but also bankruptcies, court awards, SEC Fair Funds disgorgements and other government restitution funds.

This website is the all inclusive place to find all that information as well as articles to help fulfill your fiduciary duties and maximize the recoupment of investment losses.

The Editorial Page includes exclusive in depth analysis and covers topics and insights the main stream media may consider too 'hot' or controversial to talk about.

In addition, there is a section, the Claim Exchange, for buying and selling all types of financial claims.  Highlighted ads of the month include -

1. $28 million judgment for sale

2. Lipper Bond Fund Class action claim for sale - approx. $300,000 claimed, case settled, awaiting distribution.

In the Forum section members can discuss and learn more about various topics of the day.
