Portfolio Assessment
We work with clients to determine the relative operational risk levels within their investment portfolio, allowing investors to prioritize their higher-risk investments for more in-depth ODD while keeping a broad overview of their portfolio. Our portfolio assessment services can also aid in determining the scope and frequency of ongoing operational due diligence.
Comprehensive Operational Due Diligence
We believe that “deep dive” due diligence is the optimal way to evaluate and mitigate operational risk. Based on detailed document reviews, in-depth meetings with the asset manager and verifications with key service providers, we prepare a tailored report for our client that evaluates operational risks and suggests solutions.
Ongoing Monitoring
We recommend ongoing operational due diligence to monitor operational changes and to re-assess any emerging operational risks. In addition to basic risk monitoring, this process gives insight into a manager’s openness to investor feedback and willingness to implement improvements. Such willingness, when harnessed, can result in additional long-term benefits to investors.
Our clients may choose a frequency and scope that aligns with their internal risk management processes, capital at risk and familiarity with the manager under review, from full-scope reporting to a more targeted, economical approach.
BroadScope
Our secure client portal provides centralized access to key operational data and reports across your funds and investment managers, helping to streamline oversight and enhance transparency. It also supports the electronic distribution of tailored questionnaires and collection of responses, enabling efficient and structured information gathering.
