Arendt Business Crime Insights / Managing high-risk disputes in investment funds: a coordinated legal and investigative approach

Is the NAV no longer being published or appears unreliable? Are conflicts of interest emerging? Do fees appear to significantly exceed market norms? Are investments failing to align with the stated investment policy? Are expected inflows seemingly bypassing the fund’s accounts? Are information requests going unanswered? Have you uncovered an excessive concentration of power held by a single party? Is the auditor refusing to sign off on the accounts?

Regardless of your position within the investment fund, these are red flags that demand immediate action. Yet acting effectively requires more than just suspicion.

The first and essential step is to establish the facts — through investigative and forensic means, as well as certain legal procedures that compel access to information and documents. Once the facts are clearly established, the right strategy can be determined: negotiate or litigate? Civil or criminal proceedings?

Drawing on concrete case experience, our experts will illustrate how, in times of doubt and risk, your interests can best be protected through a multidisciplinary approach and a coherent and coordinated strategy.

Join us on 20 May for a concise and insightful session, followed by a networking lunch.
