New York (HedgeCo.Net) – Reflecting recent regulatory changes, including the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), AIMA has updated its flagship due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) for hedge fund managers, adding over 90 questions.
“While much of the post-crisis regulation has set out to strengthen investor protection, the due diligence process remains the single most important step that investors in hedge funds can take to safeguard their investments.” AIMA CEO Jack Inglis said, “This is why the AIMA DDQ remains an absolutely critical tool for investors, and why, more than 15 years after it was first published, it continues to be an essential component of much of the due diligence involving hedge funds that takes place today.”
The AIMA DDQ is used by prospective investors when assessing hedge fund managers and is considered to be the industry-standard template. AIMA reports that they consulted with a broad range of hedge fund managers and institutional investors during the drafting of the new DDQ and their input was integral to the new revisions.
AIMA’s suite of due diligence questionnaires, launched in 1997, covers the selection of hedge fund managers, CTAs, fund of hedge funds managers, clearing members, prime brokers and administrators. They are available for AIMA members only and may not be transferred to any other party.
