Questionnaire

• On instruction, we will present to the investment recipient a due diligence questionnaire, which aims to extract all relevant material data about the targeted investment.
• The questionnaire is uniquely based on the specific form, but will be tailored to the particular occupation and sector. Advocates of the investment recipient will continuously coordinate the acceptance of the questionnaire, with expert lawyers / advisors distributing their field answers. It is also common that in many cases, directors and senior administrators can compile and present this information.  

Trusted data cell

• All data will be made accessible through a secure data room, with preview rights for investment beneficiaries and their advisors by us.
• Our standard approach is to use a 'virtual data' cell addressing the privacy issue. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to demand as required. Entry to the data room is often for a limited period and a small number of personalities can be focused at any one time. The 'data room' will contain all the information compared to the investment objective.
