Fund Management Research
The Red Flag Group has a package of solutions available for Fund Managers. This is likely to be of particular interest to longer term investors as well as managers of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) funds.
We recognize that fund managers currently source research on various aspects of their target companies, typically industry research, competitive analysis or financial analysis. However, increasingly the quality of the target’s management team, their sense of Values & Integrity and their Corporate Governance structures plays an important role in the success of the Company, and ultimately, your investment.
Our research focuses on specific data points, information and attention to Governance, Ethics, Integrity & Compliance, enabling Fund Managers to assess the health of the target Company and gives additional insights into the long term sustainability of the company's business.
Our Solution includes:
- Validation of the Company Shareholders, Principals, and Management
- Independent background checks on senior management with a focus on identifying keys to government officials and their integrity risks
- Independent integrity profiling and reputational testing of the Company and its leaders
- An industry and country risk profile assessment of the Company
- A review of the 'Tone at the Top', Company Code of Conduct & Ethics and the Company's Corporate Governance principles, rules and procedures
Through our 'on the ground' experience as Compliance Counsel, In-House Counsel and Financial/Accounting experts, we can supplement your research with additional information that ordinarily may not be available or assessed.
We are skilled at taking research & intelligence from our enquiries and applying a level of assessment based on our knowledge of the markets (which are most often emerging markets that lack transparency), the industry of the target and the nature of their operations. Our value is truly adding value to your investment decision rather than provide lengthy reports of public available information which is mostly repetitive and of little use.
Additional solutions are available to assess their Social Responsibility (SR) standards. This includes:
- SR policy review and assessment
- Ongoing training to the Board and Management on SR E&C
- SR E&C audits and assessments
- Annual certifications
