SimCorp signs partnership with Battea Class Action Services
SimCorp announces that it has entered into a partnership with Battea Class Action Services, LLC, the global leading expert in class and collective action antitrust and securities litigation recovery services.
Over USD 15 billion is available annually to eligible claimants in global class and collective action settlement funds, but historically, less than half of eligible claimants file successfully for their share.
With Battea covering the entire securities class and collective action process, from the initial news alert through the distribution of settlement funds; SimCorp clients can now rely on an industry expert to maximize their fund recovery for a wide range of security types in all jurisdictions, leveraging the data already stored in their SimCorp platform.
“Battea Class Action Services is excited to partner with SimCorp to provide its clients with best-in-class global damage analysis and class and collective action claim filing for securities, derivatives, currencies, foreign exchange, & interest rate derivatives” says Michael McCreesh, CFA, President of Battea Class Action Services.
Anders Kirkeby, Head of Open Innovation at SimCorp comments: “At SimCorp, we identify partner options that can deliver superior service and investment outcomes. Battea is one such partner, and given their service covers the entire claims filing process and is paid for via a contingency fee-based model, it doesn’t compete for budget or internal bandwidth. Connected with the SimCorp platform, Battea will provide SimCorp clients with improved class and collective action antitrust and securities litigation recovery services immediately.”
As part of the partnership, Battea will join SimCorp's Open Platform program. The Open Platform program is an ecosystem designed to offer SimCorp clients frictionless access to innovative fintech solutions and services across the investment value chain.
