13/6/2023 18:25 | I agree for that exact reason | syoun2 | |
13/6/2023 18:23 | djd - while I agree generally with your view about quarterly results, in the case of Burford I think it's a good thing to have 4 set-piece announcements a year. This share has tended to drift very badly in the past in the long periods between announcements. I'm hopeful that the consistently closer proximity to the next news will maintain more interest in the shares. | tradertrev | |
13/6/2023 17:23 | Stellar results.However,I'm not a fan of quarterly results.I understand why they are required for the US listing but I think it's silly.Comparing one quarter to a previous one doesn't really tell me anything.If there is a ' quiet' quarter ( or year),similarly I won't be extrapolating it. The other danger,in my view,is that it's taking up valuable management time which I believe is better spent running the business. | djderry | |

13/6/2023 14:04 | The overwhelming majority of the funds that Burford commit to litigation cases is by way of solicitors' fees to firms who conduct the litigation. These are not Burford lawyers they are third party firms. These firms cannot afford to provide litigation funding themselves (partners like to suck out their cash of the firms they work for) therefore the clients need funding from Litigation funders like Burford. As long as the client has a good case and the firm is reputable Burford will go with the flow and pay the fees to the law firm as required subject to the litigation funding contract. The lawyers who are employees at Burford will perform the due diligence against their criteria and have a watching brief over the Solicitors' firms who are undertaking the actual work. The Burford lawyers are expensive as they could go back into working for firms. Remember that Burford offices are springing up all over the world...these offices need staffing with experts in local laws. It seems a lot but it is a cost of doing business - remember that bonuses will be based on success, Newly qualified solicitors in London in the International firms can command c. £150-200k a year (that is their take home pay). These are trainees - The world has gone mad! A mate of mine in Deals Tax in PwC is charged out at £2k an HOUR. | stentorian | |
13/6/2023 14:03 | Can maybe one of us ask that question in the presentation? | lazg | |
13/6/2023 13:56 | You could well be right. I was a bit doubtful about my own argument, to be honest. | saltraider | |
13/6/2023 13:52 | I thought lawyers costs were attributed to individual cases so the majority would not affect operating expenses. I am happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable if they can confirm? | planit2 | |
13/6/2023 13:50 | Is that necessarily the case planit2? Income is up because the courts have opened up and cases are getting concluded. That means that lawyers are in court too and costs will similarly be increasing. Doesn't timing affect both income and expenditure? | saltraider | |
13/6/2023 13:25 | It would be nice if their operating expenses were growing at a consistently much slower rate than income. It looks like things are out of control if this continues. Q1 '23 80% higher than Q1 '22 £5m per month increase. I realise the income has gone up substantially but that is more a consequence of timing so it's not likely to repeated in Q1 '24. | planit2 | |

13/6/2023 10:22 | Well, it would be ironic if Argentina ended up having to hypothecate YPF's cashflow in some way to satisfy BUR's claim and the US Court judgment, since YPF was the original 'casus belli'. | extrader | |

11/6/2023 21:43 | "4) shareholder benefits - the broker snaffles them and does not pass them on to the beneficial shareholder. Just imagine how many free "beer vouchers" the stockbrokers receive on the back of all their beneficial shareholders!" Not true of all brokers - I get my 25% NEXT discount voucher for shares held in my ISA with HL. | laughton | |
11/6/2023 20:22 | Thanks Gusrezo - good find. | jockthescot75 | |
11/6/2023 19:20 | Maddox, I only heard about it on the day of my post. It isn't strictly correct that nominee holdings disenfranchise investors from voting their shares - I use ii as a platform and I can vote, even as a beneficial owner, my shares, legally owned by ii. There are a couple of angles beneficial owners might suffer from: 1) some stockbrokers might 'loan' out shares that are legally and beneficially owned by someone else to short the very shareholding I beneficially own; 2) if I felt that the directors of the PLC company I owned shares in had breached their statutory duties then the courts will only accept legal owners of shares - those named on the register of members. They will not accept beneficial ownership. In a SIPP or ISA - it is impossible to move these shares to your own name and the stockbroker would be reluctant to take on board legal costs of mounting a legal action in the legal name. 3) if as a beneficial owner, if I want to actually attend the AGM, I have to go through the rigmarole of asking the broker for a letter of representation. 4) shareholder benefits - the broker snaffles them and does not pass them on to the beneficial shareholder. Just imagine how many free "beer vouchers" the stockbrokers receive on the back of all their beneficial shareholders! | stentorian | |
