Due Diligence

Our Due Diligence service has been designed to be flexible and complementary to existing risk management arrangements and enables clear identification of the risks involved when appointing an investment manager. The main criteria for selecting third party managers are typically the quality of their investment skills and investment risk management. These are the main drivers of investment returns and absorb the most time and attention. It is important that operational and regulatory due diligence is not designed to support a predetermined investment decision but rather is unbiased and independent evaluation of the complete range of potential risks inherent in the manager's operational infrastructure.

Our due diligence procss is carried out within a structured framework designed to address specific potential risks and to yield meaningful and measureable results. We have a clear process for evaluation, which categorises the results into the following; strengths, weaknesses, issues and threats. These are firm conclusions on which an investment decision can be based.

We have carried out hundreds of due diligence reviews globally, particularly in Europe and the US, and our clients range from some of the world's largest multi-managers and institutional investment businesses. We combine a range of regulatory and operational knowledge and experience with an intimate understanding of the asset management business.
