Operational certification aids hedge fund managers and investors

It is just over three years since Amber Partners first began offering operational risk certification of hedge funds. Over that time the firm, founded and headed by Reiko Nahum, has put down roots and steadily expanded. Being the first provider of operational risk certification gave Amber a crucial early advantage. It has used that to bring its operational due diligence expertise to bear on an increasing number of predominantly multi billion dollar hedge fund firms, and has steadily expanded its investor subscriber base to nearly 2,000 registered users representing pension funds, endowments, family offices, fund of funds and institutions. Amber’s staff has grown apace with the business and has now reached a critical mass of full time professionals dedicated to the delivery of Amber’s operational due diligence services. Staffing is based on a ratio of one professional for every 20 - 25 annual due diligence reviews.
