BACKTRACK REPORT – THE DILIGENCE THAT IS DUE
Via the BackTrack Report, First Advantage Litigation Consulting delivers a higher standard of independent background due diligence investigations. The BackTrack Report specializes in vetting hedge fund managers for investors. Our active inquiries are carried out by experts and are designed to identify undisclosed risks carried by the hedge fund and its underlying management members. In more than 14 years in the business, we have earned the trust of fund of funds, fund advisors, pension funds, endowments, investment banks, venture capital firms and law firms across the globe. We are professionals dedicated to discovering the insight you need to make informed decisions.
Our expert researchers access computer data sources, manual records and our own proprietary database of thousands of hedge fund reports to identify and compile information about the subject, including:

Media Sources – Comprehensive media research, including searches of Nexis, Westlaw, Dialog and Factiva, all done by expert researchers.
Source Interviews – With authorization from our clients, our BackTrack Report also contains results of interviews of individuals knowledgeable about the subject´s background, work history or other relevant issues that may reveal insight into his or her past. This can be an excellent predictor of future behavior.
Why the BackTrack Report?
- For more than 14 years, our singular focus has been providing consistent results that are more relevant to your risk mitigation concerns than any other combination of resources, including industry contacts and data dump services. We actually read the data we collect, then integrate it into a cogent narrative that helps clients understand the subject´s history.
- The BackTrack Report contains a search of court records in each and every jurisdiction that a subject has lived or worked. Most firms will only search where a subject is now, or charge extra to search additional jurisdictions.
- At no additional cost, we retrieve hard copy court records rather than relying on excerpts from online indexes. By doing so, the BackTrack Report distinguishes between issues involving your subject and those merely citing someone else with the same name, a critical feature of due diligence but one so often overlooked by data dump type firms. Reviewing actual court records also reveals the allegations set forth in the suit, providing necessary and incredibly valuable context and eliminating the guesswork.
- We offer reasonable, flat fee pricing and do not charge extra fees to search extra areas. Firms claiming to offer due diligence services faster or cheaper are leaving out essential steps in the investigative process.
- Our analysis, specialization and expertise set us apart from other firms. When you have a question, our staff can provide an insightful answer, in most cases, immediately.
