Investment and operational due diligence

Investment due diligence

Perform analysis on the strength of a fund's offering and relative performance. 

Due diligence is a vital component of any investment decision-making. We provide in-depth research and due diligence on fund investments, with a long track record of conducting due diligence on complex alternative funds, including hedge funds, structured credit vehicles, and other private market funds and co-investments.

Our approach focuses on the fund's investment positioning and how it differs relative to its peers, the track record of the fund and its team, the experience of its key investment professionals, the strength of the investment process, including the approach to ESG, and risk management.  Over the years, we have developed and refined a proprietary methodology. Whether you are an institutional investor looking for third-party assessment to facilitate investment decision-making or an asset manager requiring an independent review of their fund, we can tailor our approach to your needs. 

Our investment due diligence service can be delivered as an integrated solution alongside our proprietary operational due diligence methodology. Whether delivered in isolation or with these other services, you can achieve a new level of insight into the quality of the funds we assess. 

Operational due diligence

Ascertain the strength of the operational framework underpinning the execution of a fund’s strategy. 

Alongside the inevitable investment risk, operational risk can have a significant impact on the overall risk profile of any fund investment. Our comprehensive operational due diligence assessment service helps to address operational risk concerns associated with investing in alternative funds. 

Our approach is based on proprietary methodology developed by team members with experience at Moody’s. We focus on the fund’s corporate governance and oversight, its operations and valuation processes and procedures, risk management framework, corporate functions, and the use of third-party service providers. We tailor our approach to your specific needs, whether you are an institutional investor looking for third-party assessment to facilitate investment decision-making or an asset manager requiring an independent review of your fund.
