We initially developed our analysis platform in 2005 through a project with AIG Private Bank and have continuously augmented and improved it since then.
The goal of the AIG project was to create a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative framework which is capable of producing accurate lending values for non-traditional assets, such as hedge funds. The emphasis was put on structured, repeatable and understandable processes.
Today, our in-house analysts perform their due diligence tasks using a qualitative risk framework which enables them to systematically score over 100 different qualitative risk factors. Our quantitative analysis not only covers standard methods such as standard deviation, value at risk and drawdown analyses but also alternative methods like omega analysis, scenario analyses and our alternative multiple-regression style analysis. Our holistic approach is well able to cope with the unique characteristics of non-traditional investments, such as non-normality of return distributions.
As an independent provider of state-of-the-art hedge fund due diligence, monitoring and advisory services we have set our goal no less than to become one of the leading niche providers in the investment space of non-traditional assets.
