Who are the medium size firms specializing in esoteric ABF?

I am looking for a list of firms with 1-20B in AUM that specialize in esoteric ABF (IP/royalties, insurance-linked, structured settlements, medical receivables, litigation finance, etc).

Working with a large asset manager who is seeking to partner with these firms via (1) LP investment, (2) financing pool of assets, or (3) co-investments.

Feel free to send DM if you or someone you know works directly and wants to connect.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a direct list of medium-sized firms (1-20B AUM) specializing in esoteric asset-backed finance (ABF) like IP/royalties, insurance-linked securities, structured settlements, medical receivables, or litigation finance. However, the context does mention that such firms are often found within private investment firms, family offices, or private market arms of hedge funds. These entities typically have the latitude to invest in unconventional and niche assets.

If you're looking to connect with firms or individuals in this space, exploring family offices or specialized private credit firms might be a good starting point. Additionally, reaching out to professionals in the WSO community who have experience in esoteric investments could provide valuable leads.
