An investment manager due diligence is often understood as ticking-the-box exercise. Unsurprisingly, this behavior conveniently translates into the dominance of past performance and related measures as investment criterion. Legal due diligence, quantitative due diligence and checklists along the lines for DDQs are valid sources to formulate the right questions, but do not replace a qualitative assessment of how the strategic, operational and legal aspects of an investment process are brought together by the investment manager(s) to meet the investment objective. The participants will perform a competition-based investment manager analysis, including a real investment manager interview. A debriefing with the focus on lessons-learned is included.
