Alphyn Capital made the following comment about Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Realizations at Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR) slowed in the first half, as backlogs in the court system due to prior Covid shutdowns delayed approximately 43% of Burford’s cases. For example, the period from filing to trial presently averages 55 months in Brooklyn, New York,6 and the courts further prioritize criminal over commercial matters. However, while near-term case conclusions and cash flows slowed, the company remains on a solid financial footing with approximately $430m available liquidity.
Encouragingly, Burford remains attractive to sophisticated institutional alternative investors. In the first half, Burford raised over $1 billion group-wide in new capital. Including $360 million of long-term debt, a $360 million fund for its Advantage Fund, which targets returns in the 12-20% IRR and pays Burford better than the typical 2&20 fees, and a $350 million fund for a post-settlement strategy.
The non-correlated timing of Burford’s returns, although lumpy, is one of the company’s attractions. Burford deployed approx. $400m into new cases, which should translate into robust income down the line.”
