Risk management
LGT CP views risk management not as a separate discipline but as part of its culture, which is reflected in the various steps of our investment process.
LGT CP’s philosophy is to mitigate the risks within a fund of fund context through a structured risk management framework, an extensive due diligence process and thorough monitoring after investment.
The core beliefs of LGT CP’s risk management philosophy are:
- Risk management identifies the key risks of the fund of hedge funds business along the value chain and allocates responsibility for each risk
- Checks and balances are the cornerstone of risk management and are applied through veto rights
- Risk control acts as a second line of defense, working closely with the risk taking units, while remaining independent from the investment side
- Operational due diligence forms an integral part of both fund approval and fund monitoring
