Why Standardization Matters
Due diligence is getting more complex and volume is only growing. According to DV research, 80% of all due diligence requests received have bespoke elements, making standardization not a nice-to-have, but a necessity.
Investors need timely insights and greater transparency, without placing greater burden on asset managers.
Asset Managers are overwhelmed. Without consistency in data requests, the teams face:
Endless Repetition
Answering similar questions from dozens of investors in slightly different formats
Resource Drain
Time pulled away from focused on value added investor reporting and fundraising to handle manual overload
DDQ Overload
Drowning in increased volume and complexity of DDQs and RFPs
Scaling Nightmare
Manual processes that are error-prone, delayed, and impossible to scale efficiently.
The Investor and Asset Managers Pain Points
At this moment, we receive 25% of our diligence volume on DiligenceVault. While we love auto-fill features, standardisation across these requests would make the due diligence process more efficient for our firm, and industry at large.
– Global Asset Manager
We receive multiple surveys with slight differences… it’s very onerous to complete slightly different responses. If DiligenceVault could align its users to collect the same exact survey, that would be very helpful.
– Private Equity GP
The next innovation our industry needs is having basic asset manager profiles readily available across portfolios. It would make review and benchmarking more efficient, allowing us to focus our time on specialized diligence.
– A Multi-Asset Allocator
We don’t send out questionnaires, but we’d like to receive automated manager data feeds as part of our monitoring program. This remains a gap in the industry—one that even the databases haven’t filled.
