How Chicago Clearing Helps Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs)
Every dollar you recover for clients is a dollar they didn't have to earn back.

As an RIA, your value is measured by outcomes. Securities class action recoveries are an often-overlooked outcome — one that directly benefits your clients and demonstrates the kind of proactive stewardship that deepens relationships and earns referrals.

 

The Problem

Most RIAs don't have a systematic claim filing process. Settlements are spotted inconsistently, filing is delegated to clients or handled ad hoc, and the multi-year lifecycle of a class action claim falls through the cracks between your advisory work and your operations. The result: eligible recoveries go uncollected, and clients never know what they didn't receive.

 

The Solution

CCC monitors across your entire client book, identifies eligibility at the individual account level, and manages every step of the filing process — so you can deliver recoveries to clients without adding any operational burden to your firm.

Many RIAs use CCC as a value-added service they present to clients as part of their offering. It costs you nothing extra to demonstrate; it means real money to the people you serve.

 

Why CCC?

CCC has worked with independent and institutional advisory firms for over 30 years. We know how to plug into the data structures of the platforms most RIAs use, and our client-facing reporting gives your clients clear visibility into what was recovered on their behalf — and why.

Since 1992, we've helped recover over $3 billion across more than 3,200 global institutions. We bring that same rigor to firms of every size.

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).
