Enhanced Due Diligence
Our researchers have aided large institutional and hedge fund clients with complex enhanced investigative due diligence projects for over a decade. When considering a large investment, HedgeCheck™ can help with an in-depth due diligence report on the company and its leadership. Experienced researchers conduct thorough, in-depth Internet research and query numerous commercial databases (supplemented with hard target searches in courts not covered electronically) to develop an electronic profile of the research subjects. Our level of experience allows HedgeCheck™ to cover the maximum amount of territory at a minimal price and in a very short time frame. At a minimum, a report can confirm personal identifiers, track corporate history and affiliations, look for sanctions and placement on various "black-lists," check for court activity at the local, state and federal level including criminal records, trace and confirm assets, search for Internet name and trademark use as well as collect, review and report on media articles from around the world. When HedgeCheck™ has finished scouring the databases of the world for records relating to your subjects, it then prepares a formal report on findings. The client can then review the report and determine what, if any, follow-up action should be taken. For example, the client may want copies of located litigation to be collected from the courts - HedgeCheck™ will handle it. The client may want a previously undisclosed LLC or a newly discovered business partner researched as well - HedgeCheck™ will handle it. A typical report takes just days to complete depending on where in the country the subjects are located. Should your deadline be tighter, let us know and we will do whatever is possible to accommodate your needs.

Case Study:
A seemingly routine due diligence review of a proposed shelf offering revealed a tremendous surprise – that the long term CFO was barred from securities involvement. An old and cryptic media reference to the present company’s CFO mentioned “past problems” which had apparently been overlooked in previous checks. Due to the age of the report and lack of database availability, previous researchers had apparently not pursued the lead. Ground investigators were dispatched to local libraries and historical societies to research media reports prior to the availability of online databases. The old clips revealed that in the 1970s the subject had been in prison for a financial fraud. Years later the subject had the conviction stricken from his record, thereby hiding his past. The subject had been banned for life from securities dealings but had successfully hidden the ban for decades…until now.
