Welcome to The Shareholders Foundation. We are an Investor advocacy group. Our goal is to help investors find answers and options involving investments which are involved in some form of legal action. This website was designed to help you find the news, case, and case investigation information affecting your investments.

We now offer customized tracking and notification services for investors. The Company Search menu item will take you to a list of all of the companies that we are currently tracking. From there you may select any of the companies that you wish to review. This will take you to the Company Overview page. From the company overview page you can select whichever case affects your particular investment and from that "Case" page you my subscribe to whichever case, company, or ticker that is available for tracking.
