Reputational Due Diligence

Reputational risk is critical for any asset owner.

Before allocating capital to a new asset manager, Castle Hall's Reputational Due Diligence profiles allow rapid, cost effective validation of manager reputational risk - across regulatory filings, legal databases, sanctions and politically exposed person watchlists. Each RDD profile also includes extensive media searches across web, social media and premium news sources, including the Wall Street Journal.

Once invested, RDD monitoring provides daily updates when your managers are "in the news" - or in court.

RDD is available on asset management companies and individual management company executives. RDD will shortly expand to allow coverage of service providers, directors and trustees, and to follow the reputational footprint of underlying portfolio companies.

Each Reputational Due Diligence Profile draws on a comprehensive range of public records sources, carefully curated by Castle Hall’s RDD team.
