Compliance and due diligence will always be top of mind for any investment offerings. However, the landscape for private markets is new territory and Monish Verma, founding partner and CEO at Vardhan Wealth Management, is here to break it down.
Verma emphasizes understanding:
-
How strategies work mechanically
-
How they fit alongside stock and bond allocations
-
How to translate risks and objectives into clear client language.
Key pitfalls and red flags include the use of leverage (limits, rationale, and disclosure), as well as liquidity features such as gates, time horizons and prospectus terms.
Verma also outlines manager-evaluation questions that probe purpose, pedigree, process and communication cadence. For advisors building a repeatable due diligence program, he stresses education first—using internal resources, product specialists, and experienced peers, including co-advising early client implementations to ensure a consistent process.
