The recent hedge fund blowups have made it crystal clear that you can’t rely on public perceptions and casual inquiries about hedge fund managers when engaging in an alternative investment program. The well-being of your business or organization rests on the quality of the information you obtain through investigative due diligence.

Having investigated more than 4,000 fund managers for institutional investors around the world, First Advantage is a recognized expert in the field of hedge fund due diligence. Tapped by a major publisher for his experience and expertise, founder Randy Shain recently wrote a book on the subject that’s become an industry lodestar.

Private Equity Firms

In the private equity marketplace, you can’t build and sustain your business or its reputation on 20-20 hindsight.

Our investigative due diligence services help you make sound decisions at all stages of the investment process, from seed funding through initial public offering.

In many cases, our background investigations have uncovered information about subject executives and their firms that justified radically changing deal terms, to our clients’ significant benefit.

Law Firms

Today, law firm clients are more discerning than ever. It takes top service and results to sustain their loyalty and gain repeat and referred business.

We have worked with securities-focused law firms on a variety of investment-related matters, including pre-IPO work, mergers and acquisitions, private equity transactions and hedge fund investments.

When you engage us to conduct investigative due diligence in any, or all of, these matters, your clients come away with the best possible information on which to base their business strategy and decisions.
