AIMA today has launched a new set of Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs) for hedge fund directors. There are three versions of the new DDQ - an Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Individual Hedge Fund Directors (Investor Version); an Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Individual Hedge Fund Directors (Manager Version); and an Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Hedge Fund Boards of Directors.

The new DDQs are complemented by AIMA’s Fund Directors’ Guide, which was published last year. They were produced by a working group of more than 30 AIMA member firms who consulted with investment managers, investors, individual directors and professional director services firms globally during the drafting process.

These DDQs, available to our members only, can be requested form the AIMA website by clicking on the following link http://www.aima.org/en/members/Industry-standard-ddqs.cfm

In addition, a two-page executive summary, available to both members and non-members, can be downloaded here, while our media release, which went out this morning is here.

AIMA will be hosting an event in London on Wednesday, 16th March where we invite you to join us for a discussion with a panel of members from the working group who will discuss the drivers for and process of development of these Illustrative Questionnaires. To find out further information on the event please click here.

If you have any questions about these or other DDQs by AIMA, please contact Jennifer Wood.

With our very best wishes,

AIMA's Sound Practices Team
