The amount BUR get will be substantially less than $16bn but I'm sure you know this. Institutions want risk free investing and there is still risk here. So any investment will be speculative risk based and therefore not 'massive' otherwise it would be happening already. The market has already digested the findings and the chances of settlements etc. It's going to take time but it will happen based on the ruling, its just a case of for how much and when.....
"In the Petersen case, Burford is entitled by virtue of a financing agreement entered into with the Spanish insolvency receiver of the Petersen bankruptcy estate to 70% of any recovery obtained in the Petersen case. That 70% entitlement is not affected by Burford's spending on the cases, which is for Burford's account; it is a simple division of any proceeds. From that 70%, certain entitlements to the law firms involved in the case and other case expenses will need to be paid, reducing that number to around 58%.
Burford has, however, sold 38.75% of its entitlement in the Petersen case to third party investors, reducing Burford's net share of proceeds to around 35% (58% x 61.25%). "
