Rethinking Due Diligence and Manager Selection

Due diligence in manager selection has become too much of a standardized documentation process. It should be an investigative discovery process. Rather than focusing on past performance of individual managers, the focus in due diligence should be on the defining characteristics of the investment management organizations where the managers work. In the long run, organizational structure, not past performance, is likely to drive future performance.

Join us as we explore the challenges in performing proper due diligence with Tom Brakke, CFA.
