Operational Due Diligence on a Digital Asset Manager

Beyond performance: the operational questions that separate durable managers from fragile ones.

Independent verification

Who holds the assets, who prices them and who produces the reports? Independence between those three functions is fundamental.

Key person and continuity

Ask what happens if a principal is unavailable, and whether the answer is documented and tested.

Incident history

A manager who can describe a past incident, its root cause and the control introduced afterwards is usually safer than one who claims none.
