Institutional Grade Operational Due Diligence
Our approach to operational due diligence combines best practices employed by the institutional allocators. The reports are tailored towards our clients' needs and the assessments are risk-based. Each project is unique and review areas depend on the asset class.
The due diligence report will typically cover three main pillars of an ODD assessment:
- Review of operational set up of fund manager
- Review of key fund documents and major service agreements
- Reference call with main service providers
Our review of the operational set up of fund managers covers all non-investment aspects of their business. Key areas include ownership structure, trade processing, valuation, NAV reporting, controls over cash, IT infrastructure. We focus on what can wrong and what the manager can do to prevent it or detect errors. We strongly believe that in person review is the best way to approach such assessments and will visit managers on-site, subject to the client's agreement.
Review of the fund documents and key agreements focuses on provisions for investor protection in case if something does go wrong. We focus on redemption terms, indemnity clauses and key man provisions.
Reference calls with the main service providers include calls with the fund administrator to confirm functions that they perform for the fund as well as a call with the legal counsel to confirm their appointment. We also carry out a reference with one of the independent board members to get their feedback on the governance.
