Investors have until October 13, 2018 for the first ISDAfix settlement ($408 million). In addition, at the end of June, additional settlements totaling $96 million were reached with five additional defendants in the ISDAfix antitrust class action litigation. A deadline of December 23, 2018 has been set for filing a claim in this second settlement pool.	The Class Counsel had estimated 200,000 class members. As of July 11, an estimated 60,000 class members had filed (resulting in a 30% participation rate). Given the high projected recovery rate it may be worth looking into filing a late claim.
