Invest in Litigation Finance with Virage Capital Management
Virage Capital Management LP has been managing money within the litigation finance space for institutional investors, endowments and foundations, fund of funds, and single/multifamily offices since receiving seed capital from a large US institutional investor in September 2013. Across the strategies for the past decade, Virage strives to provide uncorrelated, niche access to distinct litigation finance investment opportunities.
As of March 2024, Virage has two strategies that are open for capital.
Virage Latitude: Alternative Fixed Income Strategy
Virage Capital Partners is in the process of offering interests in Virage Latitude Fund LP (“VLF”) which is the next evolution of Virage’s flagship strategy, Virage Capital Partners “VCP”). Virage’s flagship strategy was seeded by a large institutional investor in 2013 as an alternative fixed income solution that focuses primarily on direct lending in the mass torts space. The flagship strategy has 10 portfolios, and Virage Latitude has an expected launch in 2024. While the VCP strategy has a 11-year track record, VLF will build upon the VCP Fund strategy, adding newer structures now possible given advances and changes in the litigation funding space and a/the relatively higher U.S. interest rate environment.
- Alternative Fixed Income Solution
- Transactions to include loans, funding agreements, prepaid forward purchase agreements, and other arrangements that are not traditional loan-based transactions
- Uncorrelated, low volatility return profile
Virage Opportunity Fund
Virage Opportuity Fund (“VOF) launched in 2023, seeking to maximize an opportunity afforded by recent changes in Arizona law that allow non-lawyers to have an equity stake in a law firm that is licensed as an Alternative Business Structure (“ABS”) under those laws. Virage, alongside two of the most significant and successful law firms within the personal injury space, established Big Auto – Accident Attorneys, PLLC (“Big Auto”), an approved ABS law firm in Arizona that will seek to acquire primarily automobile, truck, motorcycle, and other motorized vehicle accident cases nationally. The strategy is unique as it should produce uncorrelated returns and be an income producing investment with an equity kicker in the event of a sale or monetization of the business. Our operating partners in Big Auto have decades of successful experience managing several large personal injury law firms in different parts of the country.
Big Auto uses VOF contributions to operate Big Auto, the vast majority of which will be used to advertise nationally to engage individual clients primarily for automobile accident cases. Big Auto attorneys will have co-counsel arrangements with accomplished co-counsel firms with expertise in automobile accident cases in specific designated marketing areas (“DMAs”) around the country to jointly represent the clients and pursue the cases.Big Auto was approved by the Arizona Supreme Court in August 2022.
