ASC’s Managing Partner, Steve Bruce, co-hosted a lively discussion with Rich Bello, founder and CEO of Arootah and co-founder of Blue Ridge Capital, on crisis management and contingency planning for investment managers with members of Our Peer Group, advisors who provide day-to-day business support by Hedge Fund & Family Office COO/ CFOs for COO/CFOs. We discussed the principles of how managers should prevent contingencies from occurring. Some of these include communicating to stakeholders, conducting tabletop exercises and how to steer the media interactions.
This webinar was especially timely given the UK FCA proposal to announce investigation at initiation with little or no notice to the target firm and individuals.
ASC and Arootah also co-authored a book on crisis management, titled The Crisis Management Principles, which is available here.
