FRT Offers Class Action Settlement Solutions through Alliance with Hedgestart Partners

Agreement Provides Institutional Investors with Access to World-Class Recovery Services

Financial Recovery Technologies LLC (FRT), a leader in securities class action settlement recovery, has formed a partnership with HedgeStart Partners LLP to provide FRT’s best-in-class claim filing services to HedgeStart’s institutional clients. Utilizing proprietary technology and processes backed by state-of-the-art data security, the FRT process identifies eligibility, files claims, and collects more funds than an investor can typically recover on their own.

HedgeStart provides consulting and other outsourced services to both new and established investment businesses, including hedge funds, fund managers, advisors, and institutional investors. As part of the agreement, HedgeStart will act as a referral source for FRT, who will assist HedgeStart clients with filing, processing, and monitoring claims for settled class action lawsuits either for their customers or themselves.

“Our customers look to us to provide a range of back-office services that allow them to focus on their core business of maximizing investment performance,” said Matthew Wilson, managing partner at HedgeStart. “FRT was a natural partner for us given its best-in-class supporting infrastructure, experienced team dedicated to the settlement recovery industry and insight into the complexity of the global class action market.”

“We are pleased to be recognized by HedgeStart Partners for our leadership in the global class action settlement recovery arena,” said Robert I. Adler, president of FRT. “FRT provides a comprehensive and turnkey outsourced solution that handles the entire process from data collection to deposit of settlement funds, and we’re excited to introduce our services to their client base.”
