Regulatory Disclaimer

Halcyon Litigation Funding Limited is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Halcyon Litigation Funding is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) because litigation funding is classed as a commercial agreement with law firms, not a financial product. This means our funding agreements fall outside FCA rules. We only work with institutional, high net worth, and sophisticated investors, and anyone considering investing should be aware that capital is at risk.

Litigation funding is treated in the UK as the provision of commercial funding pursuant to a litigation funding agreement, rather than as a regulated financial product. Because these agreements are structured as risk-sharing commercial contracts between funder and law firm, they fall outside the scope of FCA regulation.

As such:

  • Our agreements are not regulated investments under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA).
  • Our services are not subject to FCA supervision or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
  • Investments in litigation funding are only available to institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and sophisticated investors.

All prospective investors should understand that capital is at risk and should seek independent financial advice before committing to any investment.
