<h1>Due Diligence Questionnaires</h1> <p><strong> For more than 20 years, AIMA has been providing guidance and standardisation for its members around the world in the form of Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs). </strong><br /> <br /> Whether you are an investor looking for help in assessing your fund investments or a fund manager seeking resources to help choose a service provider or fund board, AIMA’s DDQs are on hand to help.</p> <p>Please review the following FAQs before selecting you choice of DDQs from the list below. </p> <div class="collapsible"> <div

Diligence Questionnaires Terms of Use </a> </h3> <p class="articles-entry-details-teaser"></p> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-item"> <h4 class="collapsible-item-header"><a>Who uses the DDQ and how does it fit into the overall DD process?</a></h4> <div class="collapsible-item-content"> DDQs are used by investors from all around the world and by many of our asset manager members. For investors, the DDQ is an early step in the due diligence process but by no means is it the last step. Investors use the information they get from the responses to these questions to develop areas of focus for further questions and discussion with managers and to cross check information from other sources. </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-item"> <h4 class="collapsible-item-header"><a>Why is it useful for there to be a standardised set of questions?</a></h4> <div class="collapsible-item-content"> Standardised questions help investors compare like-for-like when they receive responses from multiple managers. Managers like standardised questions because it reduces the amount of work they have to do and helps them reassure investors that they are all receiving the same information.  Even in the absence of an investor request for information, a standard set of questions can be helpful for new managers who are seeking to assess their own practices against industry standards. </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-item"> <h4 class="collapsible-item-header"><a>The DDQ for investment managers has multiple modules. What is the easiest way for me to get started?</a></h4> <div class="collapsible-item-content"> <p style="text-align: justify;">In situations where the investment manager is managing open-end funds, the easiest place to start is the Basic Open-End Setup and then add or replace modules as needed. Similarly, if the investment manager is managing closed-end funds, the easiest place to start is the Basic Closed-End Setup. Platform providers should start with the Basic Platform Provider Setup. Third party sub-advisory relationships should start with the Basic Sub-Adviser Setup. If the sub-advisory relationship is with an affiliate, however, consideration might be given as to whether it makes sense to discuss the sub-adviser as part of the “investment manager” for purposes of the modules regarding the investment manager. These DDQs are available <u><strong><a href="https://www.aima.org/compass/ddqs/hedge-fund-managers.html">here</a></strong></u>. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">For Canadian Alternative Mutual Funds, UCITS and U.S. mutual funds, the <u><strong><a href="https://www.aima.org/compass/ddqs/liquid-alternatives-ddq-hedge-fund-strategies.html">Liquid Alternatives Fund DDQ</a></strong></u> may be the easiest place to start. </p> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-item"> <h4 class="collapsible-item-header"><a>How do the Short Form Manager Module and Short Form Fund Module relate to the other modules in the Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Investment Managers?</a></h4> <div class="collapsible-item-content"> The Short Form Manager Module represents a condensed version of the following three modules from the Illustrative Questionnaire for the Due Diligence of Investment Managers: <ul> <li>Overview;</li> <li>Governance of the Investment Manager; and</li> <li>Operations and Risk Management,</li> </ul> and can be used in lieu of those modules.<br /> The Short Form Fund Module represents a condensed version of the Open-End Private Fund Module and <u>can</u> be used in lieu of that module for open-end private funds and <u>should</u> be used in lieu of that module for any liquid alternatives funds.<br /> Investors receiving information on one of these short forms should consider whether and to what extent they need or want more information than has been provided.<br />   </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-item"> <h4 class="collapsible-item-header"><a>How will DDQ platforms verify whether my firm is a member and what happens to DDQs completed on the platform if my firm is no longer a member?</a></h4> <div class="collapsible-item-content"> <p style="text-align: justify;">Our DDQs are licenced for use on a variety of third party platforms.  These platforms are required to verify that any use through the platforms is in line with the applicable Terms of Use.  This means that platform providers will be seeking validation from AIMA that either the platform user (the investor in the case of investor push systems or the manager in manager push systems).  The platform provider will send us the relevant firm name by email and we will respond with whether the firm is a member or not.  If not a member, the platform provider will be required to deny access to the our DDQ templates through the platform.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We will also notify the applicable platform providers when a previously verified user subsequently chooses not to renew.  This will mean that the platform provider will be required to discontinue future access to the template documents, although previously distributed forms of the DDQ completed during the period of membership are permitted to be maintained.</p> </div> </div> </div>  <hr /> <p> </p> <div class="widget mod-toc mod-bordered"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12
