Information Overload Red Flags – When a hedge fund doesn’t know when to say when to due diligence information requests
Corgentum Consulting has released a new paper entitled, 
Information Overload Red Flags – When a hedge fund doesn’t know when to say when to due diligence information requests.
This paper discusses the importance of understanding and diagnosing the hedge fund due diligence document distribution process as part of the overall operational risk evaluation of a hedge fund manager. Questions posed by this paper for investors to consider include:
- Are response requests pro-active or reactive?
- How is investor information protected?
These questions are particularly relevant in light of increased concerns over the way in which hedge funds come across and utilize material non-public information.
Also highlighted in this paper are the potential for increased operational risks in hedge funds which do not effectively manage due diligence related document distribution. This paper can be found in the Research section of the www.corgentum.com website, or via direct link here .
