A question that our investment management clients keep grappling with is: how do I get a better view of risk across my portfolio? Our offering in this space has just won an award from the Financial Times which recognises our innovation in the private capital space – take a deep dive into how it works here:
Here's what clients using our tools are seeing:
- Portfolio companies engage with the results and recommendations of each assessment in a more enthusiastic manner. Because they know they'll receive clearly articulated action items, KPIs, and comparative data, decision makers stay engaged in the process. This helps drive internal engagement and buy-in for improvements to the compliance program.
- Investment management clients have access to easy-to-digest comparative data allowing them to immediately pinpoint the riskiest assets in areas such as sanctions and data privacy, assess the quality of internal controls and to prioritize the most important mitigation efforts. Tracking improvement of compliance controls with KPIs helps clearly show return on investment and motivate internal stakeholders.
- Deal teams understand where the companies they are responsible for rank within the overall portfolio in terms of risk and measures taken to mitigate the risk (whether relating to post-closing plans or throughout the lifetime of the investment). They can showcase investment in compliance and stewardship of culture when it comes to exit.
This truly integrated offering from Ropes & Gray is opening a whole world of possibilities by combining data science and behavioral science skills with culture, risk, compliance and legal experts, to gain greater control over business environments, think differently, and ultimately make better-informed decisions.
