We provide individual investors and fund managers with the strategic intelligence needed to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and execute successful acquisitions across 100 jurisdictions.

Tiered Due Diligence Solutions

We offer a scalable approach to due diligence, particularly in opaque markets and offshore jurisdictions where data is often shielded.

Investment Intelligence: Case Studies

Telecom Infrastructure: Competitive Tender Intelligence

A hedge fund participating in a tower infrastructure tender retained us to gain a competitive edge. By leveraging our network of industry sources, we provided intelligence on competitors’ potential price bids, their key political connections, and the internal influences driving the tender’s decision-making process.

Hedge Fund Stake Acquisition: Executive Vetting

Prior to a major stake acquisition in a global corporation, we conducted an intensive vetting of the executive board. We identified critical conflicts of interest and political ties that posed a threat of adverse reactions from minority shareholders, allowing the fund to adjust its entry strategy.

Hostile Takeover Defense: Strategic Monitoring

A large, publicly-listed corporation engaged us to provide share price monitoring and early-warning intelligence. Our team successfully identified the subtle signs of a hostile takeover attempt by a group of minority shareholders, allowing the board to implement defensive measures before the bid was formalized.

Post-Merger Integration: Management Reputation (Mexico)

During a merger between two major construction firms in Mexico, we assessed the reputation of the "NewCo" management team. Our investigation provided critical insights into the incoming CEO’s personal and professional conduct, identifying potential reputation hazards before the merger was finalized.
