Hestia Capital provides support in a wide range of financial solutions.
Hestia Capital is a boutique specialty finance firm dedicated to providing innovative solutions in legal, credit, insurance, and regulatory risk. Our team of seasoned professionals leverages deep industry expertise to originate, underwrite, and service complex financial transactions. With a track record of raising over $1 BILLION for claims factoring and litigation finance, we partner with institutional and private equity investors to deliver tailored financial strategies that address our client’s unique challenges.
Customized (Re)Insurance Solutions.
Hestia’s team has been successfully structuring, pricing and closing (re)insurance transactions for over 20 years. Working with various A-rated carriers we are able to provide customized (re)insurance solutions for companies.
We typically work on new products and ideas, customized solutions to manage volatility and distressed or unusual situations where we can use (re)insurance to solve a problem.
In short, we bring innovative risk financing, structuring and underwriting expertise to our clients. Although our experience typically lies with credit exposures we have priced and structured many different lines of business.
Alternative Assets.
At Hestia Capital, we specialize in financial and risk management products linked to litigation across the financial and insurance markets and bridge financing for government-sponsored programs. Our core expertise lies in recovering claims and customer funds arising from:
- Catastrophic property damage, particularly in the aftermath of major windstorms in the USA
- Auto and Property damage insurance claims where the insurers have underpaid or denied coverage in the EU
- Mis-sold or abusive financial products issued by banks, such as foreign currency mortgages in the EU
- Inappropriate insurance products, including complex or opaque unit-linked policies.
With access to dedicated pools of capital, we originate, underwrite, and service these assets with a strong emphasis on asset quality and process efficiency. Our investment structures typically fall into two categories:
- Non-recourse funding, where investors are only repaid if the underlying claims succeed
- Partial recourse arrangements, where clients receive an advance against their claims and investors are repaid through a priority fee structure from any recoveries
To manage these opportunities at scale, we have developed proprietary technology platforms that enable us to underwrite, onboard, and monitor thousands of claims efficiently. Our integrated case management systems offer full visibility into every asset we manage and embed control features throughout the litigation and recovery lifecycle—from underwriting through to final collections.
