One of the first businesses to grow and emerge within the working capital market during the recession, Fora Financial has established a competitive position in the marketplace, as well as a storied legacy. It all started with two college roommates who had an innate passion for small business. After graduating from Indiana University, both Jared Feldman and Dan Smith went their separate ways – Jared as an underwriter and Dan as a sales consultant. Then, the economic recession hit. Dan knew that the small businesses of America drove the U.S. economy and would need assistance to survive the default times ahead. And with both Dan and Jared coming from a long line of successful entrepreneurs and growing up immersed in the small business culture, they felt compelled to help. Prompted by Dan’s vision, they combined their financial savvy and small business knowledge to start Fora Financial in June of 2008, when the economic world felt like it was coming to an end. Over the next five years, Dan and Jared worked tirelessly to build their staff and client base from the ground up. Continually doubling their staff and revenue almost every year since its inception, Fora Financial has continued to develop transparent relationships with our clients and partners and provide them with custom, innovative funding solutions. As of our five-year anniversary in June 2013, Fora Financial has funded over 8,000 individual transactions with over 4,500 unique customers. The company has also funded more than $199 million in working capital for small businesses since its inception. Fora, meaning “marketplace” and “forum” in Latin, aligns with our mission to foster and support the small business industry. The rebrand also created efficiencies and consistencies to better serve our customers and partners. Today, Fora Financial continues to remain a competitive leader with one of the most extensive offerings and services in the small business industry. We remain dedicated to developing new, innovative ways to serve companies in an ever-changing financial market.

Since the day we opened our doors, we’ve been providing our customers with affordable, flexible options to respond to life’s changes – providing them peace of mind and the ability to meet their changing needs. Today, JGWPT Holdings Inc. (“JGWPT”) is headquartered in suburban Philadelphia. We focus on key sectors, including structured settlement payment purchasing, annuity payment purchasing, lottery payment purchasing and pre-settlement funding. Our seasoned management team has developed a category-leading marketing, operations, customer service and funding infrastructure that has allowed us to achieve efficiency and economies of scale necessary for stability and future growth. Through J.G. Wentworth and Peachtree Financial Solutions, we have become one of the world’s leading purchasers of deferred payments from illiquid financial assets, such as structured settlements, annuities and lottery receivables. In fact, since 1995, our companies and their predecessors have purchased over $9.1 billion in future payment obligations from our customers. Approximately three times per year, our purchased payment streams are bundled and issued as Fixed-Rate Asset-Backed Notes, which are typically purchased by institutional investors. This is a core strength for JGWPT – and one that establishes a strong foundation for future growth through our relationships with financial institutions and ability to execute financing through committed warehouse lines. We’ve been a leader in the development of current regulatory framework around the purchasing of structured settlement payments. Our work on both federal and state regulation has, over the past decade, provided more clarity and stability to the structured settlement payment transfer process, and we embrace this regulation. Diversified transactions for our customers, a robust financial infrastructure, and leading by example in regulation, are hallmarks of our heritage at JGWPT – and qualities we will carry forward as we continue our positive growth trajectory.
