How Chicago Clearing Helps Hedge Funds
You have a duty to your partners. We help you honor it.

Managing a hedge fund means delivering alpha - and protecting every dollar of it. But securities class action recoveries? They're a legal obligation hiding in your back office, quietly going uncollected while your team focuses on what it does best.

 

Every quarter your fund holds eligible securities during a class period is a quarter where recovery is on the table. The question is whether someone is systematically capturing it.

 

The Problem

Class action filing is a volume game played over years, sometimes decades. For a hedge fund with active trading across hundreds of positions, manually tracking notices, compiling trade data, meeting deadlines, and responding to administrator deficiencies is not just tedious — it's a genuine operational and fiduciary risk. Unclaimed recoveries aren't just lost money; they're a breach of your duty to your LPs.

 

The Solution

Chicago Clearing Corporation (CCC) manages the entire process — from monitoring to filing to payout — so you don't have to. We plug into your existing data, identify eligible positions across thousands of active and historical settlements, and handle every step of the claim lifecycle on your behalf.

For hedge funds specifically, that means recovery that's predictable, reportable, and LP-ready. CCC's online reporting portal gives you real-time visibility into every claim's status, so you always have an answer when a partner asks.

 

Why CCC?

Since 1993, we've specialized exclusively in class action recovery — this is all we do. Our team combines deep class action expertise with back-office financial fluency: CCC's CEO James Tharin is a former CBOE market maker, and our core staff brings over 150 combined years in financial operations. We know how trading firms are structured, how your data lives, and how to extract maximum recovery from it.

I could go on and on, but bottom line, the fees being charged are much less than what I was spending in house to file and this is just one less thing I have to spend time trying to figure out how to complete on a consistent basis. Dealing with the CCC staff has been a very positive thing.

- National Bank

We were spending countless hours on class action claims before we signed on with CCC in January. Matt Murray and their technical team ensured our data transmission was seamless and secure. We found everyone at CCC to be professional, courteous, and accommodating.

- Savings Bank

Signing with CCC has made a huge difference. Before, it was horrible. We had to print thousands of pieces of paper, invite clients to come in and sit down with us to show them where to find the transactions, how to input them into the Proof of Claim forms. Now it's simple. It’s very nice to be able to tell our client, “You can shred that Proof of Claim form because CCC has it taken care of.

- Registered Investment Advisor

Your client reporting portal and customer service is the reason we chose Chicago Clearing. I send the data on an annual basis to CCC and they take it from there. My clients are protected (if there is a class action, it is getting filed), the Bank is protected (we are meeting our fiduciary obligation by filing the claims).
