The Trust was established in April 2002 following the out-of-court settlement of an insider trading case taken by a private consortium of Fletcher Challenge shareholders against former Fletcher Challenge chairman Kerry Hoggard. Learn more >>
Proceeds from the settlement were placed in the Trust to be used to provide support to shareholders who wish to right, usually by legal remedy, a business wrongdoing. Support may be in the form of financial assistance, advice or advocacy. Apply for support >>
