Typical Claim Filing Experience • You receive a class action notice • You cringe knowing the work ahead • You research the Cusips (if known) and the date range for activities in your accounts • If the class period pre-dates your current software system, you face the clumsy and laborious task of retrieving data from disks or legacy systems • If acquisitive, your acquisitions’ trade data must be integrated also • Dealing with deficiencies could take twice as along as the filing • Distributing settlement proceeds to closed accounts is problematic • Can and should you outsource claim filing? The answer is YES!
