The strategic network that Auda has developed since 1989 provides us with access to leading sponsors of private equity funds. Auda focuses on fund managers who have the following characteristics:

• Long-term investment experience
• Potential to deliver outstanding future results
• Significant personal financial commitment to the fund

Our investment process is disciplined and thorough. Prior to making an investment, we perform rigorous due diligence, including several meetings with the fund’s professionals, an in-depth review of historical investments, an extensive background check on the professionals, an overall assessment of how the fund’s organization and investment process is managed and a thorough legal review of partnership terms and conditions. Auda actively monitors all fund investments on an ongoing basis and is represented on several fund advisory boards.
