Buttonwood AIM – Alternative Investment Monitoring. Providing the industry’s only comprehensive and custom ongoing due diligence option designed for both private and public programs.

What is Ongoing Due Diligence? Is it data aggregation? Is it skimming information from public filings?

No! Ongoing due diligence is diving deep into verifying investment activity, tracking cash flows related to fees and distributions, financial performance review, monitoring management background and much more. Creating confidence for the road ahead.
