>> GLOBAL OPT-IN AND NON-U.S. LITIGATION

Understanding Shareholder Loss Estimates in Non-U.S. Securities Litigation
Wednesday, April 29. 2020 | 10:00 a.m. ET (3:00 p.m. BST)

With the continued expansion of non-U.S. securities litigation, more institutions are asking questions around losses. How are they calculated? Why do they differ? What do they mean? How can we use them when making participation decisions?

Attend our webinar as FRT’s Mike Lange, Chris Looby, and Emily Fortin, share insights into:

  • Understanding Your Losses – the three different types, why they matter, and how they should best be calculated for comparison purposes
  • Uncertainty of Loss Estimates – similarities and differences of losses among countries including the United States, Australia, Japan and other Non-U.S. jurisdictions
  • Investor Participation – how investors should use loss estimates when deciding whether to register
