Once a product manager and product are selected, both the management of the company and the respective product(s) are held under constant scrutiny and ongoing due diligence by the Company’s product selection team through organized quarterly online performance and general information requests and subsequent check and balance analyses against our Nelsons and TASS Research performance databases (for alternative investments – when available). These regularized activities are augmented by ongoing day-to-day communications with various representatives of the money management/alternative investment companies, ongoing analysis of numerous industry third party news articles and other publicly available data, and a minimum once-per-year onsite due diligence visit.
