Introduction

The starting premise when performing due diligence on a hedge fund is to “independently verify” as much information as possible.

For example, one of the most common hedge fund deceptions is about how much money is under management? It doesn’t matter that the manager has a degree from Harvard, or 20 years trading at a top investment bank, they can still lie! 

Our training course will examine the major causes of operational risk within Hedge Funds and discuss what information we need to gather to be sure we are making the right investment.

You will be invited to put forward for discussion any areas of potential risk that you feel are important.
