Madoff-Proofing Your Hedge Fund With Corgentum

APRIL 14, 2009

Corgentum Consulting and Managing Director Jason Scharfman were profiled in a recent piece on HedgeFund.Net. The artilce, which is entitled, "A New Service-Provider Pitch: Is Your Hedge Madoff-Proff?", highlights an increased trend of hedge fund investors seeking guidance from operational due diligence experts such as Corgentum to avoid fraud and Ponzi schemes such as the Madoff crisis.

The article reads in part, "While automation and outsourcing were mandated to eliminate mutual fund operational risk, the risk of outright fraud in the hedge fund industry is now fueling service provider growth. Scharfman theorized the average hedge fund [investor] might not be able to undertake due diligence on its own, turning businesses like Corgentum a necessity rather than a luxury."
