It combines our proprietary risk analysis concept, consisting of quantified qualitative as well as quantitative aspects, with structured and systematic processes within a holistic risk assessment framework.
Our due diligence platform has been developed for and in collaboration with AIG Private Bank. It integrates a qualitative scoring framework with specialized, statistical analysis technology and an innovative alternative multi-factor style analysis framework in a comprehensive way. The result is a unique, highly specialized and transparent due diligence and monitoring of outstanding quality.

Modular structure
Our services are modular to provide maximum flexibility to our clients. Each additional module will be represented by several additional report pages in the profiling report. The following additional modules are offered:
- On-site visit – We will meet the investment manager on-site, asking specific questions about topics such as investment manager organization, IT and disaster recovery, back office operations and legal & compliance issues. During our on-site visits, we request to see a demonstration of processes and talk to the people performing these, making use of a proprietary 36 pages on-site questionnaire.
- In-depth background checks – In-depth background checks are a time consuming and costly task, for which reason we are working with several specialist providers in the field. This reduces costs and time to delivery. We study and condense their lengthy, comprehensive reports and provide conclusions for you.
- In-depth analysis of audit reports and valuation policy – We perform an in-depth analysis of the last three audit reports (if available), summarize the balance sheet and income statement, differentiate between realized and unrealized gains, review the valuation policy in light of the investment strategy, analyze the cash levels and cash ratio changes over time, review the development of subscriptions and redemptions and much more.
- Asset verification – We verify propagated assets under management by comparing the numbers with audit reports, statements provided by the custodian and the administrator and review the administrator agreement with regards to services provided (NAV light, pricing sources).
