Speakers
Session
This session moves beyond simple returns to explore the critical due diligence process for evaluating fund managers and investment partners. Tim Samway will explore the essential metrics to assess, identify key "red flags" that signal caution, and compare the process of evaluating a fund management business versus a direct fund investment, drawing out valuable lessons for attendees.
