Investment Due Diligence (IDD)

A Clearer Lens on Manager Quality

Our IDD process is structured, evidence-based, and forward-looking. We go beyond performance metrics to evaluate the fundamental drivers of a manager’s ability to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns.

Focus keys areas:

Team and Culture

Stability, ownership, and decision-making dynamics

Investment Process

Philosophy, implementation, risk controls

Track Record Analysis

Attribution, consistency, market regime sensitivity

Operational Risk

Infrastructure, compliance, and service providers

Fees and Alignment

Cost transparency, incentives, co-investment

ESG Integration

Policy depth and practical implementation

Smart Manager Benchmarking

We benchmark managers not only against peers but also against your objectives, risk tolerance, and portfolio role. Our reporting framework is tailored to your governance structure — concise for trustees, detailed for CIOs.

We also provide qualitative ratings and a proprietary conviction score to assist with prioritisation and implementation.
