CEO Christopher Bogart hob den Fokus des Unternehmens auf drei Kernbereiche zur Steigerung des Aktionärswerts hervor: Plattformwachstum, Portfoliocash-Realisierungen und die Erzielung attraktiver Kapitalrenditen. Bogart betonte, dass die unkorrelierte Natur der Rechtsfinanzierung Burford in der aktuellen volatilen Marktsituation vorteilhaft positioniert.
- New business and realization activity exceeded previous first quarter levels

- Business model shows resilience through market volatility due to uncorrelated nature of legal finance

Burford's Chief Executive Officer Christopher Bogart commented:
"Burford delivered robust first quarter results in what is typically a lighter seasonal period, demonstrating the continued momentum of our portfolio. Both new business and realization activity were well above first quarter levels in recent years, establishing a great start to the year. We believe the uncorrelated nature of legal finance positions our business to perform through the volatile and uncertain market environment that investors face today. We remain focused on the core drivers of shareholder value discussed at our recent 2025 Investor Day: Growing the platform, turning the current portfolio into cash realizations and generating attractive returns on capital."
