Due Diligence Investments

Portfolio Management

Before you can begin to differentiate yourself from your competition, you must generate returns with the smartest and most strategic portfolio of individual investments possible. Developing policies for constructing and managing risk-adjusted portfolios that generate positive returns is your North Star.

Idea Generation

Your success in building a high-performing, diversified portfolio is entirely incumbent on generating new ideas. Developing a process to uncover new, innovative, and unique investment opportunities is an ongoing challenge, but once you’ve mastered it, you immediately set yourself apart from other funds.

Value Added Research

What exactly is the value proposition you are selling to investors? Your competitive advantage in picking investments. We’ll help you expand and streamline the methods you use to conduct thorough and compliant research through process improvements and quantifiable decision-making techniques.

Risk Management

Risk is an ongoing challenge you must not only identify in your firm, but seek to mitigate. Your methods, how you articulate those to investors, and your ability to effectively control risks specific to your asset class will help you build trust with your clients.  

Data Science

Data: It can undermine the entire investment process if it lacks integrity or quality. Let us help you implement cost-effective approaches to data vendors.

Trading

Avenues for trade execution, particularly technology innovators, are constantly evolving and have a direct impact on your ability to source liquidity, achieve best execution, and generate alpha. How you manage the trading process is critically important to investors and regulators.

Compliance

In recent years, the number of SEC cases and enforcement actions related to firm research and investment practices has increased. Control measures are crucial to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to material non-public information and the use of expert networks. The goal: to protect your firm from costly violations.

Talent Acquisition

The PM manages two portfolios: People and investments. By far, the most important portfolio is the team, but leaders often struggle to invest time in creating a cohesive unit by establishing a process for hiring, compensation, performance measurement, and termination.

Your ability to effectively communicate with investors is critical in fostering long-lasting relationships with them. Referrals only come from well-informed and satisfied clients, so they are your best marketing tool.

Legal & Compliance

Set a tone-at-the-top commitment to compliance by establishing processes and control measures that help your firm prevent legal trouble and regulatory violations. Establish these processes from inception so you can focus on success and avoid unwarranted outside scrutiny.

Taxes & Accounting

Whether you process records in-house or outsource them, you need to have a system in place to oversee the accounting, financial reporting, annual audit, and tax preparation requirements of the fund and its clients.
