As you are no doubt aware, Peregrine (PFG) filed for liquidation in a U.S. bankruptcy court in Chicago and the U.S. Trustee appointed Ira Bodenstein to act as trustee for PFG and its assets, including customer property.

On July 13, the bankruptcy court authorized the trustee to continue to operate PFG’s business for a limited time in order to (among other things) prepare and distribute final customer statements, and record transactions related to customer accounts. At this time, it is not clear how long it will take to complete these processes or when the trustee will be authorized to release any funds to customers.

The trustee has established a website, www.PFGChapter7.com, that contains information about the PFG case. The website was created to assist the trustee in providing information to customers and to receive comments or questions from customers.

According to the website, the Trustee has not yet determined whether PFG customers will need to prepare a claim form. Customers are encouraged to visit the site regularly for updates from the Trustee regarding customer claims.
