Law Firm 1
The first funded law firm went into administration in July 2024. This law firm was funded via 7 SPVs. Investors recovered their invested capital only.   

Law Firm 2
To date, 1,467 claims were funded via 12 SPVs. The net investor returns and IRRs for the first 10 SPVs are shown in Figures 2-3 below. The dots show the investor net gains (Figure 2) and IRRs (Figure 3) by tranche and time of the tranche payment. For example, looking at the resolved SPV1 funded in April 2023, the first 10%-tranche had a net investor gain of 8.9% (IRR of 13.6%) in December 2023, 8 months after the Offer launch, followed by returns of 18.6% (IRR of 21.5%), 24.4% (IRR of 23.5%), 27.4% (IRR of 24.8%), 30.7% (IRR of 24.6%), 40.7% (IRR of 26.4%), 46.1% (IRR of 24.3%), 59.7% (IRR of 25.9%), 54.4% (IRR of 23.8%) and 62.3% (IRR of 26.9%) from the subsequent tranches paid to investors between March 2024-May 2025. The average net investor gain for the resolved SPV1 is 37.3% (IRR of 23.5%).

In total, 50 10%-tranches have been repaid to date, together comprising 611 resolved claims (out of 1,265 claims funded by these 10 SPVs). The average net gain and annualised IRR to investors across the settled claims is 29.6% and 22.9%, respectively.

Contractually, claims that settle after a longer period tend to generate a higher return, e.g. the 10 tranche of SPV1 has generated returns of 62.3% (IRR of 26.9%).

To date, 2,099 claims were funded via 13 SPVs. The net investor returns for the first 8 SPVs are shown in Figures 4-5 below. The dots show the investor net gains (Figure 4) and IRRs (Figure 5) by tranche and time of the tranche payment. For example, looking at SPV1 funded in August 2023, the first 10%-tranche had a net investor gain of 25.0% (IRR of 27.3%) in July 2024, 11 months after the Offer launch, followed by returns of 31.8% (IRR of 29.3%), 30.2% (IRR of 23.2%), 38.1% (IRR of 25.6%), 44.0% (IRR of 27.1%), 36.0% (IRR of 20.5%), 51.1% (IRR of 27.0%) and 51.0% (IRR of 25.0%) from the subsequent tranches paid to investors between September 2024-June 2025.

In total, 23 10%-tranches have been repaid to date, together comprising 322 resolved claims (out of 1,255 claims funded by these 8 SPVs). The average net gain and IRR to investors across the settled claims is 27.0% and 20.0%, respectively.
 
Contractually, SPV1 is entitled to receive a share of the law firm’s revenue on each claim regardless of the claim resolution timing. The other SPVs funding this law firm accrue the return daily.

For example, looking at SPV1 funded in December 2023, the first 10%-tranche had a net investor gain of 12.2% (IRR of 12.4%) in December 2024, 12 months after the Offer launch, followed by returns of 22.4% (IRR of 17.1%) from the subsequent tranches paid to investors between March 2025-March 2025.

In total, 8 10%-tranches have been repaid to date, together comprising 127 resolved claims (out of 810 claims funded by these 5 SPVs). The average net gain and IRR to investors across the settled claims is 13.2% and 12.2%, respectively.

Law Firm 5
To date, 1,106 claims were funded via 7 SPVs. There have been no repayments to investors yet.

Diesel Emissions Claims
Additionally, AxiaFunder raised £1,860,000 for diesel emission claims against different car manufacturers via 4 SPVs. There have been no repayments to investors yet. If all the diesel claims settled today, investors can expect a net gain between 145% and 160%, depending on the Diesel offer that they invested into.

AxiaFunder’s Notes
HDR claims are a mature and predictable claim type in our view. Any unsuccessful claims are contractually replaced by the law firm at no charge to the SPV which clearly improves investors’ returns. We closely monitor the individual claims and are in active dialogue with each law firm to make sure the claim portfolios are well-managed. 

As shown above, SPVs typically only start to return cash to investors after approximately 6-12 months. From offer launch, we expect the SPVs to run for 12-24 months.
