Due Diligence
What we do
- Investment Product Due Diligence
The output of our investment product due diligence processes, which analyse all aspects of the product, provide investors with a detailed picture of the investment products they want to consider. The process includes macro analysis of the viability of the investment thesis as well as drilling down into details, such as the philosophy and process applied, the product’s track record, the risk mitigation tools employed, assessment of the investment professionals and their level of expertise.
- Operational Due Diligence
Our operational due diligence process considers a wide range of operational aspects within the investment framework, including regulatory compliance, the inherent strength of the business itself, information technology, accounting, administration, valuation and third-party service providers. This includes finding deal-specific risks and opportunities, identifying hidden costs as well as liabilities and critically examining the quality and reasonability of projected earnings and cash flows.
How we do it
01
A Holistic Approach
By taking a holistic approach that factors in every aspect of due diligence, from viability through to management, we are able to build a complete picture from the fund level right through to operational and compliance considerations.
02
Behavioural Analysis
Understanding investment products does not only relate to track record, but requires insight into how individuals behave, react and work together. We interrogate at all levels within the business and identify trends and patterns.
03
Understanding Investments
The team comes from a diverse background with different areas of expertise, which allows us to question and test asset managers in detail and consider feedback critically. We do not take answers at face-value, we ensure they make sense as part of the bigger picture and over time.
