OPERATIONAL DUE DILIGENCE
OUR VISION
Our independence works to your advantage, and we challenge
your preferences with you. Our role is to give you a different vision, through a different prism : we identify the issues that may
constitute a risk and may prevent an investment. Our approach is
different, risk-based and pragmatic.
HOW IS THE WORK DONE?
• Identification of your needs
• Gathering and review of all the documentation or due diligence
processes from the Fund and the service providers, onsite visits
(Fund and service providers) and interaction with the Directors
(traditional operational due diligence)
• High added-value analysis: Reinhold & Partner’s “worst case
scenario” to identify any aspect of the business, clauses in the
contracts, etc. that might put your business at risk
• Summary in a practical and efficient document
O P E R AT I O N A L D U E D I L I G E N C E : T R A D I T I O N A L P R O C E S S
Analysis of the legal structure of the Fund,
liquidity risks, pricing models, reporting, controls,

GOVERNANCE & DIRECTORSHIPS
The best manifestation of good governance is a sound Board
FUND INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
• Experienced and professional Directors, ethically, business, and
reponsibility driven

GOVERNANCE
• Supporting your structures and procedures

ALPHABOARD®
• A unique approach to enhance the functioning of Boards of
Directors
A virtuous circle
• A more cohesive and secure Board
• Directors endorse a real responsibility and must apply the
highest level of diligence in conducting their mandate. Directors
are personally liable to investors for any negligence in their duty
of care
• An equal treatment of investors and aligned interests between
managers and investors
• A marketing advantage: Governance is now key to all investors'
and service providers’ due diligence investigations
