“Investors in cases of this nature typically look to advance claims in misrepresentation,”
“To succeed in those claims, investors must identify false or misleading statements made by the fund – in investor presentations, for example – which they relied on when making their decisions to invest.”
“A key question, however, is whether the potential defendant to these actions will have the resources to meet a judgement against them,” he adds.
“This is usually one of the first considerations in cases where investors have suffered huge losses,”
“There is simply no point in suing a party who is never going to be able to pay a resulting judgement against it.”
