In today’s globalised investment environment, fund managers can more accurately target their investor bases by establishing funds across borders.

Operational risk is defined as the risk of losses stemming from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems, or from external events.[1] This also includes legal risk, which is prevalent in document intensive asset classes such as private debt.
