FRT Insights – Quarterly Newsletter: January 2019
The world of class actions has evolved dramatically over the last five years requiring investors to move beyond traditional U.S. securities litigation efforts to focus on damages from antitrust violations and non-U.S. jurisdictions.
2018 saw a record number of antitrust and non-U.S. group litigations including Forex, Petrobras, ISDAfix, and Fortis.
This issue of FRT Insights focuses on the importance of a comprehensive class action recovery solution to help you evaluate your existing governance, controls, and protocols to maximize your recovery efforts. It includes:
- Three Guides for a Comprehensive Class Action Recovery Strategy
- Navigating Complex Non-U.S. Shareholder Class Action Settlements

>> Navigating Complex Global Group Litigations
The landscape of global group litigation is slowly shifting to mirror those of U.S. passive claims filing demonstrating the importance for investors to understand the nuances of their trading jurisdictions in order for them begin to develop internal policies for foreign actions.
>> Implementing an ‘Issuer-Centric’ Shareholder Class Action Policy
Increasingly, fiduciaries are implementing ‘issuer-centric’ policies to recover investment losses from fraud. In the past, efforts have often been ‘case-centric’ – board policies and procedures were reactive to announced case filings. The purpose of an investment recovery policy is to articulate a framework for internal policies and procedures that further fiduciary responsibilities.
In this report, we review the potential risks and benefits of implementing an issuer-centric shareholder class action policy.
