Alec Cutler, manager of the Orbis Global Balanced fund, FundCalibre, discusses Burford Capital with Professional Paraplanner.
Culter says about Burford: "'Their skill is around identifying lawsuits to back their rate of return on their investments that they have made. They effectively invest in lawsuits. Their IRR is 29% historically over 14 years. So it’s not only diversifying for us, but in a way it’s us outsourcing a portion of the portfolio to someone who has an investment return that’s better than ours.'"
