SwissAnalytics Investment Due Diligence

We consider ourselves to be risk management partners in a broad sense. Our approach to due diligence is thus built around the goal of identifying non-traditional risks which can lead to significant losses of capital. Key to this is the distinction between compensated and uncompensated risks.

In our opinion, it is impossible to properly analyze operations or have an opinion about best practices without having a solid understanding of the fund strategy. In the same way, the business risk of the manager is closely tied in with their fund strategies’ exposure to market risks, and there are many integrated factors with cross-relationships.

We thus focus on doing diligence, not cutting any corners and avoid relying upon assumptions or the manager’s own selling points at all costs. If we can’t get comfortable with or independently verify risk factors, managers will lose our confidence and that will be reflected in our analysis.
