Core Viewpoint - The article discusses methods for conducting due diligence on investment institutions during the interview process, emphasizing the importance of understanding the institution's background and investment logic before accepting an offer [2][3]. Group 1: Due Diligence Methods - The first step is to visit the Asset Management Association of China (AMAC) website to check the backgrounds of the institution's partners, as the information is reliable and does not require registration or payment [5][6]. - Review the institution's invested projects, particularly those that have gone public or are in the process of going public, to see if the institution has board seats and to analyze the board members' backgrounds [7]. - Engaging with project teams of invested companies can provide insights into the institution's investment logic and post-investment resources [8]. Group 2: Understanding Limited Partners (LPs) - The composition of the institution's LPs can be researched using platforms like Qichacha, Tianyancha, and Qixinbao, as the background and funding nature of LPs significantly influence the institution's investment style and strategy [10][11]. - Continuous funding from LPs is a positive indicator for the institution, and the presence of local government LPs can suggest a potential for reinvestment in local projects [12]. - Analyzing the reinvestment ratio by comparing the total reinvested amount to the contributions from local government LPs can provide insights into the institution's reliance on reinvestment for fundraising [12][13]. Group 3: Additional Insights - Investigating the litigation history of invested companies and the management company can reveal potential issues, such as buyback lawsuits, which may indicate the institution's effectiveness in securing returns [20]. - Monitoring recruitment patterns over the past three years can indicate the institution's stability and strategic direction, such as whether they frequently hire for the same position or shift focus to different sectors [22]. - Identifying common holding entities across invested projects can suggest mandatory co-investment practices, which may reflect the institution's investment culture [22].
