Overview
The Altify Legal Finance tokens (ALFI) offer an exclusive opportunity to invest in a non-market correlated portfolio of low-risk legal finance loans extended to top UK law firms. Offering an annual fixed return of 11.00%, with distributions paid out quarterly.
All underlying loans are senior-secured and are extended to leading UK law firms by Fenchurch, a leader in the UK’s legal finance market. These law firms use the funding to cover pre-litigation expenses and court fees for thousands of consumer claims, all supported by strong legal precedents.
A key feature of this investment is its built-in protection. Before any funds are extended, an ATE (after-the-event) insurance policy is secured. This policy ensures that if a legal case doesn’t succeed, the insurance covers all disbursements and fully repays Fenchurch, which extends to you as the investor. Regardless of the outcome of individual cases, Fenchurch earns a consistent return, providing investors with steady, predictable income and reduced risk.
Security
- ALFI tokens are fully asset-backed by Fenchurch Legal USD bonds.
- All loans issued by Fenchurch are senior, meaning that if a law firm runs into trouble, Fenchurch are first in line to get paid back fully before other creditors.
- Fenchurch only lends to reputable UK law firms, with a demonstrated operating track record.
- All Fenchurch loans are secured by the underlying legal cases and director guarantees from borrowing law firms.
- ATE (After-the-Event) insurance is mandatory for all financed legal cases. It ensures that if the case is unsuccessful, the insurance covers all disbursements and fully reimburses Fenchurch.
- Fenchurch diversifies their lending across multiple law firms and hundreds to thousands of legal cases, reducing the impact of any single default.

What Is
Legal Finance?
Legal finance, or litigation finance, is a financial arrangement where a loan is provided to cover the costs of pursuing a legal case.
Law firms often face the challenge of balancing their legal expertise with the financial demands of complex cases. Even top firms may struggle to fund lengthy litigation. This is where legal finance becomes useful.
Firms use legal finance as a way to strengthen their resources, manage costs, and seek justice for clients. It provides financial stability, spreads risk, and allows firms to take on high-value cases that they might not otherwise afford.
How Fenchurch Legal Lends
Fenchurch Legal is a specialist legal funding firm based in the UK. Unlike most lenders in the legal finance market, who offer risky unsecured loans, Fenchurch takes a safer route by providing fixed-rate secured loans directly to law firms.
They fund law firms specifically for pre-trial expenses on small-ticket consumer claims. These cases are procedural, with strong legal precedents, and the firms win or settle most of them, repaying Fenchurch from the proceeds.

FAQs
The ALFI token offers an 11.00% annual yield with quarterly cash distributions. This represents the Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) of return over a year, excluding compounding effects.
The 11.00% yield is before Altify’s 0.55% annual management fee, which is deducted from each quarterly distribution.
The yield is fixed in USDT, a stablecoin backed 1:1 with the USD. Both the quarterly income and the final principal repayment are automatically deposited into your Altify account.
Private credit loans, which are the underlying cash-generating assets behind the ALFI token, carry higher interest rates because they remove traditional intermediaries like banks, allowing investors to earn higher yields directly from borrowers.
Banks, which often specialise in more conventional lending, typically don't offer the same flexibility or expertise in areas like legal finance, where specialist legal finance credit providers can step in, such as Fenchurch Legal.
This added customisation and direct lending, along with the lack of a secondary market, means borrowers must offer higher rates to attract investors willing to take on the added risk and illiquidity.
The ALFI token is a security token launched on the Bitcoin Liquid Network, designed to provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of loans made to UK-based law firms held within a bond issued by Fenchurch Legal.
Each ALFI token is backed by $1.00 of a Fenchurch Legal 2-year USD bond, ensuring a 1:1 ratio between the token and the underlying bond. This structure provides investors transparency and a stable, asset-backed investment opportunity in legal finance.
Investors can sell their ALFI tokens with just 14 days' notice. However, if you decide to sell your tokens before their maturity date, you will forfeit any accrued interest and incur a 5% early redemption fee based on your total invested amount. This fee is applied when your redemption request is approved.
Example: If you invest 100 USDT and receive 100 ALFI tokens on 1 January 2025, then on 10 December 2025, nearly 12 months later, you decide to sell all your tokens, you would need to apply for redemption with 14 days' notice. After approval, a 5% fee is applied, your accrued interest is removed, and on the specified date, you would receive 95 USDT.
Important: Redemption requests are subject to market conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
Investing in legal finance, and private credit as an asset class, involves three main risks:
1. Default risk
This occurs if the borrower, Fenchurch Legal, is unable to repay its loan due to case outcomes or financial instability. To mitigate this, Fenchurch Legal issues senior loans, ensuring they are first in line for repayment if a law firm faces trouble. All loans are secured by the underlying legal cases and director guarantees from the borrowing law firms. Additionally, Fenchurch mandates After-the-Event (ATE) insurance, which covers all disbursements and fully reimburses Fenchurch in the event of an unsuccessful case. By diversifying across numerous firms and cases, the impact of a single default is further reduced.
2. Liquidity risk
Since ALFI tokens are not traded on a public market, there is a risk that your 14-day redemption notice may not be approved, potentially locking up your investment for longer than expected. Altify mitigates this by closely managing the issuance of ALFI tokens, ensuring new tokens are only created with matching demand. This allows Altify’s investment team to monitor and meet liquidity reserve requirements effectively.
3. Insolvency risk
If Altify were to close, there is a risk since ALFI tokens are a liability on Altify’s balance sheet. However, this is mitigated by fully segregating client and operational capital, and by maintaining a 1:1 ratio of ALFI tokens to Fenchurch Legal bonds on the balance sheet. In the event of a closure, the corresponding bonds would be transferred to ALFI token holders on a 1:1 USD basis.
Additionally, the ALFI tokens are digital asset securities. Every investment in such financial instruments, whether tokenised or non-tokenised, is associated with certain risks, such as - but not limited to - risks inherent to regulatory changes, taxation risks, investment-specific risks, market risks, insolvency risks. Risks may arise individually or cumulatively, and, in the worst case, the investor may lose the entire value of their investments. Please consult your investment advisor before making any investment decisions. It's important to carefully assess your risk tolerance and fully understand the potential consequences of investing in digital asset securities like ALFI tokens. Altify does not provide financial advice, and all investors are encouraged to seek professional guidance tailored to their individual financial situations before proceeding with any investment.

The quarterly interest on the ALFI token is calculated based on an 11.00% Annual Equivalent Rate (AER), before the 0.55% annual management fee is applied.
The interest is split into four quarterly payments, with the 0.55% management fee deducted from each distribution before it reaches your Altify account. The calculation follows the 30/360 convention, assuming each month has 30 days and the year has 360 days, to ensure consistent quarterly and monthly payments.
For example, if you invest 10,000 USDT in ALFI tokens, your annual interest would be 1,100 USDT (11% of 10,000 USDT). Each quarter, you would receive approximately 275 USDT, minus the applicable management fee. Monthly, this would be roughly 91.67 USDT, before the management fee.
All payments are automatically deposited into your Altify account.
Distributions are made by Fenchurch on the following dates:
31 March
30 June
30 September
31 December
Payments will be allocated to Altify accounts within 7 business days
New ALFI tokens will be issued based on both demand from investors and from Fenchurch Legal for legal finance. We expect 2-5 million ALFI tokens will be issued each month. Since the ALFI tokens are asset-backed, the issuance of new tokens does not dilute existing token holders.
ALFI tokens are not cryptocurrencies. They are digital assets that are backed 1:1 by Fenchurch Legal Finance bonds. Each token is issued, recorded, and managed on the Liquid Network (a sidechain of the Bitcoin blockchain). Investors can hold their ALFI tokens in their registered wallet on ALFI.
