Why an investment investigation?
Do you have doubts about the reliability of an investment? Are you not receiving the promised returns? Are you getting evasive answers to your questions? Are payouts repeatedly delayed? Then professional investment research can provide clarity about the reliability and financial health of the company.
An investment investigation can serve two purposes: preventive, to assess whether an intended investment is reliable, or reactive, to determine whether there is fraud or mismanagement in an existing investment.
What do we investigate?
During an investment investigation, we analyze the corporate structure (who is behind the company, which entities are involved, in which countries it operates). We check whether the necessary licenses are present (AFM, DNB, foreign regulators), investigate the financial health based on annual accounts and reports, assess the money flows (where the money goes after investment), and identify red flags that indicate potential fraud.
Red flags we look for
Typical signals we look out for include:
Unrealistically high return promises that are not substantiated by transparent calculations.
Opaque corporate structures with multiple companies in different countries.
The lack of a license from the AFM or other relevant regulators.
Money being directly siphoned off abroad after the investment.
Flawed or contradictory information provided to investors.
High pressure to invest quickly.
Directors with a questionable past.
Result
The result of our investment research is a clear report outlining our findings and concrete advice. We will tell you honestly whether we see red flags, whether the company appears reliable, and what steps you can potentially take to limit your risks or recover your damages.
