In the Company of Mavericks

I am joined by David Seaman of Alpha Cygni Investment Management for a conversation with Chris Bogart, CEO of Burford Capital. Burford is a pioneer of litigation finance was listed on AIM in 2009.

Show Notes

Chris Bogart discusses how he started to dabble in litigation finance as a hobby, but the onset of the global financial crisis led to the formation of Burford Capital and a 12-year journey to industry leadership and a listing on the NYSE. Chris describes how culture, risk assessment and the adoption of data science have all played a part in helping Burford drive its competitive advantage in the developing market for litigation finance. David Seaman of Alpha Cygni Investment Management adds some in-depth questioning on key aspects of the Burford story, including the periods of investor scepticism, its culture and how Chris thinks about risk. Please enjoy.
