On July 13 we conducted our first in-person PE/VC conference of the year at Sofitel City Centre. The attendees got to learn from their peers and family offices and institutional investors how they have braved the unprecedented crisis and what the new playbook looks like.
We will also held a two-hour masterclass hosted by Kroll, right before the conference, to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the best practices that PE and VC investors must use when conducting due diligence on their investment targets. Investment teams have shown tremendous flexibility and creativity to continue to undertake due diligence remotely for cross border deals. Regional investment teams have found innovative ways to overcome this constraint, from using drones to visit factories virtually, to using third parties as their hands and legs on the ground. Discreet investigative background checks have become even more crucial in such an environment.
