Independent Risk Advisors

We help institutional investors and financial advisors understand the underlying risks of their investments.

Independent

We have no strings attached. So we provide critical input for your decision-making process

Skeptical

We know how hard it is to outperform and create value. So we don’t take a narrative at face value

Curious

We are always looking to learn. So we like to ask why and how.

"Breadth of view … is one of the essentials of our profession. The interplay of ideas and the oblique uses of knowledge are often of extraordinary interest."

Sherlock Holmes

"Any fool can make a fortune; it takes a man of brains to hold onto it."

Commodore Vanderbilt

"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."

Daniel Pat Moynihan

    We strive to preserve value

    Our work has kept our clients out of trouble by:

    • Performing due diligence on private debt funds, which raised several red flags. One of the funds later ended in a receivership proceeding after an investigation done by the regulator.
    • Auditing a registered investment advisor’s performance that sounded too good to be true. The advisor years after received a cease and desist order from the SEC.
    • Providing an opinion on OneCoin that stopped a client from investing in the now-known scam.
