CRT Special Investments LLC (“CRT Special Investments”), an affiliate of CRT Capital Group LLC (“CRT”), today announced that it will hold twice weekly auctions for MF Global Trade Claims. CRT is a Stamford-based broker-dealer that has serviced institutional customers for more than 20 years.

CRT Special Investments, which provides research and information on trade claim opportunities to customers and investors, will give holders of 4d, 30.7 or securities account claims the opportunity to auction their claims for the highest price, with a minimum equal to what is currently being offered by other market participants.

“There are a number of firms offering to buy claims, but none have so far provided a transparent, fair mechanism to offer customers both attractive liquidity and the highest possible return,” said Joe Sarachek, Managing Director of CRT Special Investments. “By offering twice weekly auctions, we are able to leverage our industry leading expertise and in-depth understanding of the MF Global bankruptcy process for the benefit of customers.”

CRT Special Investments, which was one of the first market participants involved in trading MF Global claims, has the expertise and knowledge of the market to not only offer liquidity to customers looking to sell, but also to structure loans and settlements for those customers who do not yet wish to sell their claims.

For information on the auction process, or to receive CRT’s market leading research on the MF Global bankruptcy proceedings and trade claims, please contact Joe Sarachek at (203) 548-8062 or jsarachek@crtllc.com, or Brad Schwab at (203) 548-8063 or bschwab@crtllc.com.
