Beaumont Advisors Limited has launched a new business offering hedge fund operational due diligence services.
Seasoned hedge fund industry veterans, Lori Barton and Gillian Scott (pictured) who have collectively performed over 800 due diligence assignments, are leading Beaumont’s hedge fund operational risk practice.
“Investor demand for hedge fund operational due diligence services is at an all-time high. The reporting of sizeable hedge fund failures in the financial press has catalyzed demand, particularly post the staggering Madoff losses” says Lori Barton “however, there is also wide-spread consensus among hedge fund investors that operational due diligence is an essential component of an effective risk management strategy.”
Scott says: “At Beaumont, client service is paramount. We are cognizant that one size does not fit all in meeting client needs for operational due diligence. For example, investors may choose to fully outsource the operational due diligence process to Beaumont Advisors, or partner with us to learn from our experience and expertise.”
Beaumont can also meet client demand for bespoke due diligence reporting. “We believe that this flexibility facilitates better integration of our research with our clients’ existing internal investment due diligence and risk-management platforms.” says Barton.
