The Due Diligence They Don't Tell You About

The informal due diligence family offices conduct — the investigations you never see that determine outcomes.

Every manager knows the formal diligence process: data room, reference calls, on-site visits. What many miss is the parallel track. Family offices call people not on your reference list. They research your personal life. They watch how you interact with everyone, not just decision-makers. They pay attention to small inconsistencies.
