BURFORD CAPITAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LLC

Overview

Burford Capital Investment Management LLC is a private equity–focused investment manager that operates as a limited liability company and serves institutional clients through pooled investment vehicles. The firm acts as a sponsor, general partner and managing member of its funds and is registered to provide portfolio management for pooled vehicles. Its business setup includes CPO/CTA activities, and its fee model combines a percentage-of-AUM component with performance-based fees. The firm identifies as an active ESG investor and concentrates on deploying institutional capital into private fund structures rather than on retail or individual advisory relationships. Investment activity centers on managing private equity-style funds and allocating to third-party alternative managers where appropriate. The firm’s mandate is oriented toward institutional-sized commitments, using pooled structures to consolidate capital and capture performance fees on realized returns. As an adviser that is not primarily a capital allocator, Burford focuses on managing and operating funds rather than acting as a pure allocator to external strategies.
