Due diligence

We have created a due diligence questionnaire (DDQ) that provides you with information on our company and how we work with you, our investment services and processes, a section on MPS on Platform, client administration, compliance and systems and service providers.

AKG financial strength ratings focus on and communicate AKG’s assessment of a company’s ability to maintain operational capability to meet the needs of customers. These ratings are specifically designed for use by advisers, working on behalf of these customers.

Defaqto publish an annual DFM Satisfaction survey, the report is based on feedback from adviser firms that have outsourced their client investment assets to third-party discretionary managers and identifies where expectations are being met by cross-matching ranked importance to ranked satisfaction. 

The information provided in the DDQ report is used by professional intermediaries, who engage with ARC via several different service lines. Ultimately, to help intermediaries with their regulatory compliance, ARC aim to create a series of scores to show comprehensive oversight of each of our individual investment products.

Threesixty assess the adequacy of the controls and procedures Investec Wealth & Investment (UK) has established to mitigate the regulatory and business risks arising from the provision of its discretionary management service to intermediaries.
