Alternative Investment Due Diligence
Our process follows a rigorous framework: qualitative (manager track
record, philosophy) and quantitative (Sharpe/alpha
metrics, drawdowns). We review DDQs for operational risks like valuation policies
and IT infrastructure, conducting
onsite visits and background checks per AIMA standards. For private equity, we
assess IRR (internal rate of return) and
MOIC (multiple on invested capital), targeting 0-20% allocations based on liquidity
needs.
Hedge funds are scrutinized for alpha generation post-fees (1-2% management, 20%
performance), with stress tests for
correlations in crises. Real estate due diligence includes cap rates (NOI/property
value) and LTV ratios for leverage
risks. We emphasize ODD to flag red flags like inadequate BCP or fraud potential.
Allocations align with 2026 trends like AI infrastructure, with reports on net
returns (after 2-3% fees) and illiquidity
premiums (3-5% over publics). Annual reviews ensure compliance and performance.
