How would describe your approach to fund governance?
We are not a "director services" firm; we are a location for finding high quality, respected individuals to provide governance to funds. We believe that the concept of director services firms is a problem within the industry. It turns an important source of investor protection into a back-office functionary, often with insufficient industry expertise and holding excessive portfolios of roles. We cap the number of directorship relationships at a maximum of 15, and only include people with actual investment experience.  Our approach to governance is to put ourselves in the investors' shoes and treat them, and not the fund manager, as our ultimate employers.
