It asked that investors who had acquired Steinhoff shares between June 2013 and the 6th of December 2017 register online to participate. As Steinhoff's shareholders seek to pursue claims on behalf of their clients and funds that suffered losses because of Steinhoff's share price collapse, South African institutions have taken on a new route- informing their clients that the 'class action' case being run in the Netherlands by the Dutch law firm BarentsKrans, is their preferred legal route. "The decision by many of South Africa's largest institutional investors to participate in the BarentsKrans Steinhoff litigation follows a long evaluation process by many of them and we are pleased that so many of South Africa's largest asset managers have chosen this route," says Martijn van Maanen, a partner at BarentsKrans.
