Understanding structures, layer by layer.

Your challenges.

Private equity works with layered structures: funds, feeders, intermediate holding companies and investors from different countries. Anyone who wants to know who is really behind a party has to look through all of those layers. That applies to investors and to the companies you invest in.

What we look at

UBO through every layer

Who are the ultimate beneficial owners behind investors and intermediate holding companies?

Source of wealth

Does the capital invested fit the background of the investor?

Investigation of portfolio companies

Integrity risks at a target identified before the investment.

Periodic reassessment

Investors and structures change. The file must change with them.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to investigate all my investors?

If you are subject to the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft), you carry out customer due diligence on your clients and determine its depth based on the risk.

How far do I need to investigate the structure?

Until you know the natural persons who own or control it. With complex structures, that is often more than one layer.

Can BlueMonks also investigate a portfolio company?

Yes. We investigate the integrity of a target, its directors and UBOs, and record the findings in a report.
