Litigation funder Nera Capital passes $100m in investor returns
Nera Capital has surpassed $100m (£77.5m) in investor repayments, in a milestone for the litigation finance specialist.
It attributes its ability to generate strong returns to its data-driven approach to case selection and risk management.
The company also pointed to its investment strategy of focussing on delivering tangible risk-adjusted returns for investors, rather than just funds deployed.

Launched in 2011, Nera has offices in Manchester, Dublin and The Netherlands.
The company has supported claimants in a range of high-profile cases, spanning mass tort litigation, financial mis-selling, personal injury claims, and commercial disputes.
For example, the firm’s involvement in a major hernia mesh claim, which comprised thousands of individual cases in the United States.
Many of these claimants suffered severe complications from defective mesh implants, including chronic pain, infections, and organ damage.
Nera’s funding enabled victims to pursue justice and secure compensation, highlighting the tangible impact of litigation finance in ensuring accountability and restitution.

“This milestone is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to both investors and claimants,” said Aisling Byrne, director at Nera.
“Our ability to generate strong returns while funding impactful cases sets us apart in the industry.”
“We are not just funding litigation; we are helping people achieve justice while ensuring our investors benefit from well-structured, high-value opportunities,” she added.
Beyond mass tort litigation, Nera has successfully funded a range of personal injury claims and commercial cartel disputes.
Among these are two major European anti-trust cases, with current settlement values exceeding €20bn.
The company expects these cases to drive “record-breaking returns” for Nera and its investors.
Nera Capital is poised for further growth, with a new $75m fund set to launch soon.
