Wolf Popper’s attorney-led Portfolio Monitoring Services provide the visibility, guidance, and oversight needed to support sound decision-making and protect beneficiaries’ interests.
A key responsibility for any institutional investor, whether governed by ERISA, state fiduciary standards, or internal investment policies, is to protect the assets entrusted to them. Even strong portfolios can suffer avoidable losses when fraud, misleading disclosures, insider trading, or other corporate misconduct occur.
Our Portfolio Monitoring Services alert you to securities class actions, derivative matters, and corporate governance developments that may impact your plan, fund, or system. With timely information, fiduciaries and investment committees can assess potential exposure, evaluate next steps, and demonstrate ongoing prudence.
Many fiduciaries have no desire to initiate litigation—and in many cases, choosing not to act is appropriate. However, when a class action is filed or peers begin participating, fiduciaries must evaluate their options to determine what best serves the institution and its beneficiaries.
We provide legal analysis of the underlying claims, assess potential recovery paths, and explain the implications of participating or declining to participate. If action is warranted, we can represent your interests; if not, we will validate that a “no-action” decision is reasonable and documented. Enrollment in our services does not obligate you to retain Wolf Popper for litigation.
When an institution decides to take action, Wolf Popper is prepared to assist. As lead counsel in numerous state and federal securities matters, we have helped secure billions of dollars in recoveries for investors and contributed to decisions that protect shareholder and beneficiary rights. Pursuing recovery may restore asset value and support long-term financial health for the plan, trust, or institution.
Portfolio Monitoring gives fiduciaries peace of mind. Knowing that legal exposure is being monitored and evaluated allows investment officers, trustees, and committees to focus on managing assets, confident they are not missing potential recovery opportunities or overlooking an obligation to act.
Maintaining documentation of informed decisions—whether to participate or take no action—supports compliance, helps manage risk, and aligns with fiduciary governance best practices.
Wolf Popper does not charge for portfolio monitoring, corporate governance counseling, or settlement claims management services. Should a matter proceed to litigation and your fund elects to participate, we hope the quality of our work leads you to consider us for representation. In successful cases, attorney fees and expenses are typically awarded by the court from recovered funds for all investors or paid by defendants and/or their insurers.
