How we help

Accessible Slider title

  • Comply with Section 206 (3) Investment Advisers Act

    We independently review the prices of affiliated trades (both cross trades and principal trades) to ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements under Section 206 (3). 

     

  • Review across global jurisdictions

    We support investment managers in the US and across global jurisdictions to meet regulatory and best practice requirements.

  • Provide an arm’s length review

    We provide global institutional and private investors with the assurance that cross trades and principal trades are conducted on an arm’s length basis.

  • Review using qualitative and quantitative data

    With the support of pertinent data for each transaction, our team can assess principal and cross transactions via the use of both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Independent conflict review services

For primary issues, the Portfolio Manager provides the loan list/tape and the supporting credit memos and financials.

Our team will perform the following:

  • The loan tape/loan list is reviewed and assessed to contain the necessary data/information to perform the review.
  • Perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data presented on the underlying credit memorandum.
  • Assess the credit quality of the loan.
  • Predetermine a price variation acceptance level with the Portfolio Manager with respect to Original Issue Discount (OID) for primary issued loans.
  • Exposure assessments upon request, can be performed to ensure the portfolio is not over exposed to one position in an event of default.

As pricing support for broadly syndicated loans (BSL) is largely available on the secondary market from third party platforms, we can find better comfort on the arm’s length of a transaction with independent pricing.

Our team will:

  • Review each trade against a third party independent pricing platform.
  • Analyse the trade price according to the third party independent pricing source, industry best-practice and reasonable arm’s length tolerance levels.
