For the fourth year running, litigation funding giant Burford Capital LLC has reported record earnings, with income topping $100 million last year, up from $82 million in 2014.

And the company is deploying its investments in increasingly audacious ways. Burford, listed on London’s Alternative Investment Market, revealed in its annual financial report Wednesday that, just in January, it poured $100 million into a portfolio of cases at a large global law firm.
