NAV Lending

Lending against the modeled value of your litigation portfolio.

Criterica Capital prepares NAV-based facility requests for independent capital providers. Most lenders cannot value litigation portfolios; Criterica Capital brings the outcome models and court record depth to the analysis.

NAV facilities are typically considered for established funds with a deployment history and a portfolio of active cases across qualified practice areas.

What Makes This Different
Your portfolio can be modeled
Most lenders cannot value litigation portfolios. Criterica Capital values them from the court record, and a NAV request is evaluated against the same intelligence that values the underlying cases.
No forced liquidation
NAV facilities can be sized against modeled portfolio value, not mark-to-market on individual cases. Ask whether temporary case outcomes can trigger facility calls.
Aligned with your recovery timeline
Facility terms can be set to match the expected duration of your portfolio rather than arbitrary commercial loan maturities. Litigation takes time.
Eligibility

NAV lending is typically considered for established litigation finance managers with a track record of deployment and a portfolio of sufficient size and diversification for outcome modeling.

First-time or pre-deployment funds typically start with a warehouse facility. NAV lending is the next structure once your portfolio has sufficient history.

How We Underwrite

Every financing request Criterica Capital prepares is evaluated against outcomes, not collateral. Our models are trained on real court records across US federal courts, state courts, and international jurisdictions.

We assess jurisdiction-level recovery rates, case-type outcome distributions, time-to-resolution curves, and attorney performance history before a request is prepared for independent capital providers.
