Avoid Investment Fraud

Check Fund Manager has been warning its clients for years about potential Private Equity or Hedge Fund blow-ups long before they occur. We have also alerted our clients in regard to many others that are not published in the news, or have yet to be exposed. Emerging asset classses including cryptocurrency digital asset investing by institutional investors has resulted in an increased demand for the application of our pre-investment investigative due diligence services.

17% of Investigations Reveal Detrimental Information

Our historical diligence research shows the incidence of a court case or some other exception in 17% of the cases, ranging from civil suits and credentials misrepresentation to regulatory sanctions and criminal activity.

Check Fund Manager's In-depth Research Identifies Risk Factors

Our goal is to identify the private equity and hedge fund managers who could expose your capital to undue risk. Over the years, we have helped to protect the capital base of hundreds of institutional investors that incorporate alternative investments into their portfolios.

Check Fund Manager's experienced Investigative Researchers perform intensive due diligence research utilizing multiple proprietary data sources and network of contacts. Once the individual has been properly identified, they continue the due diligence research process by:

  • Examining regulatory records and civil and criminal proceedings:
  • Identifying lawsuits ranging from simple breach of contract disputes to major Federal RICO and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 violations:
  • Verifying educational degrees, company affiliations, and professional financial societies;
  • Locating liens and judgments;
  • Determining real estate asset valuations; and
  • Researching financial media and Internet publications for salient biographical facts.

Media Research

Our Comprehensive Research include significant research of media to reveal articles concerning adverse information, the subject's employment and directorships, and also to highlight relevant items of interest.

Interpreting Red Flags and other Report Information

Our documentation methodology highlights what we consider to be red (detrimental), yellow (interesting) or green (non-detrimental) flags.

We recommend that you consider the following questions as you evaluate the information:

Who do you represent, and what are their interests? A public institution may have a far different tolerance for infractions and headline risk than a private investment client.

What is the charge, and how does it relate to the business the fund is involved with? Is it recent? Does it make you question the integrity of the individual or the firm? Or is it a minor charge from the distant past?

Are there multiple "exceptions" listed in the report? A single charge may not seem significant, but multiple charges could reveal a pattern of undesirable behavior and therefore greater headline and/or capital risk.
