Hedge Fund Investigative Due Diligence Services

Investors in hedge funds and other alternative investments employ investigative due diligence to probe the track records and backgrounds of funds and fund managers. BDO Consulting provides clients with the critical information needed to make informed business and investment decisions.

Questions to Consider

• How much independent information do you have about the background, experience or credentials of hedge fund managers?
• Does the hedge fund have a genuine independent auditor and administrator?
• Do you know whether the managers of the fund have other business interests?
• Do you know whether the hedge fund or its managers have a history of litigation with investors or employees?
• Are there indications that the managers have personal financial problems?

Make Informed Decisions

BDO provides the information you need to make informed decisions. In addition to providing hedge funds with comprehensive background investigations on fund managers and service providers, we also assist hedge fund investors including fund of funds, pension funds, endowments, fund advisors, family offices, institutional investors, venture capital firms and investment banks, by conducting in-depth due diligence investigations to identify risks and disclosure issues, as well as advise on potential mitigation, negotiation points and other meaningful information.

Providing Timely and Reliable Information to Help You Navigate Risk

A Methodology that Converts Information into Intelligence

We evaluate the information produced by our research to detect anomalies or inconsistencies, recognize patterns of corporate or individual behavior, identify risk-relevant issues and determine whether additional research is warranted. We also access and review public information, and commercial and proprietary databases in order to create a comprehensive background on an individual subject or corporate entity. If requested, we obtain reputational information through industry contacts and qualified sources.
