Our rigorous selection process ensures alignment with institutions that uphold the highest standards of governance, transparency, and financial discipline. We believe that our clients’ long-term success is built upon the strength and integrity of the organisations we represent.
Strategic Alignment
- The investment philosophy and process must align with our overall strategy and client objectives.
- There must be clear compatibility with our target client segments.
- Each value proposition is analysed to determine whether it is performance driven, risk managed, ESG oriented, or Shariah compliant, depending on client relevance.
Performance and Track Record
- Review historical performance in comparison with relevant benchmarks.
- Evaluate consistency across different market cycles.
- Confirmation of the transparency of performance data and independent verification.
Financial Strength and Reputation

Due Diligence and Transparency
- The requirement for comprehensive due diligence documentation includes fund factsheets, offering memoranda, and audited financial statements.

- An evaluation of independent oversight functions, such as custodian, auditor, and administrator, must also be conducted.
