Frequently asked questions

How does The Gold Company source proprietary deal flow?

The office originates many of its litigation-finance investments through MSP Recovery's own claims pipeline, giving it a sourcing advantage over external funds. For real estate and venture deals, Ruiz leverages his Miami network and relationships built through Lionheart Capital, his real estate development firm.

Does The Gold Company invest in fund commitments or only direct deals?

The office is structured for direct investment activity — litigation finance claims, real estate acquisitions, private credit loans, and venture-stage equity. There is no public record of The Gold Company making blind-pool fund commitments as a limited partner.

Which sectors does The Gold Company explicitly avoid?

No explicit avoidance policy has been published. In practice, the portfolio concentrates in sectors where Ruiz has operating expertise — healthcare services, legal finance, real estate, and fintech — and shows no known exposure to industries like heavy manufacturing, commodities, or deep-tech hardware.
