Assessing non-investment risk

Selecting and monitoring asset managers is resource-intensive and often overlooks critical operational pitfalls. At Lestrade, we focus on these high-impact, non-investment risks—failures that can compromise an entire investment strategy.

Because there’s no upside to operational breakdowns, mitigating them is crucial for resilience and long-term success.

NIRO blends diverse risk perspectives, data sources, and analytics to deliver unique, independent insights—helping you look beyond standard metrics and build safer, more rewarding partnerships.
