According to a recent LinkedIn post from SS&C Technologies, new SS&C-sponsored research conducted by Hedgeweek suggests most hedge funds may be underutilizing securities litigation recoveries. The post notes that only 7% of firms reportedly pursue such recoveries on a consistent basis, despite hedge funds’ reputation for exploiting market inefficiencies.

The post indicates that the main obstacle is perceived complexity and cost, rather than a lack of underlying opportunity. For investors, this focus on litigation-recovery services may point to a niche growth avenue for SS&C within asset management technology and services, potentially deepening its relationships with hedge fund clients and expanding fee-based revenue streams.
By highlighting what it describes as a disconnect between opportunity and perception, the content positions SS&C’s research and solutions as addressing an overlooked alpha or cost-recapture area. If hedge funds increasingly adopt systematic approaches to claim recovery, SS&C could benefit from higher demand for workflow, data, and claims-management tools, reinforcing its competitive position in the alternatives and broader financial markets ecosystem.
