Based upon investor demand, Far Hills seeks strategies within a particular asset class that can be readily differentiated. Prior to representing a manager, we conduct a rigorous due diligence of a manager's operations, risk management practices, capacity issues, investment disciplines and back-ground checks. We identify high quality hedge and private equity funds with sound investment philosophies and strategies. Analytical and quantitative reviews are used to evaluate managers to determine their competitive advantages versus their peer group as well as their correlation to a broad array of indices. The experience, talent, and integrity of the portfolio management team are key ingredients in our evaluation. We avoid conflicts of interest brought about by overlapping strategies. Our success is ultimately driven by our ability to more efficiently utilize the time of potential investors and our investment managers. Toward that end, we endeavor to gain a thorough understanding of investor needs and the investment process of our investment managers.
