NAIC WELCOMES — Diversified Capital Management

The NAIC proudly welcomes Diversified Capital Management as its newest member. Diversified Capital Management is a fund in formation founded by NFL legend Jim Brown and Super Bowl Champion, Curtis McClinton. The duo also established the Black Economic Union, whose mission is to unify and grow African American economic resources and guide those resources into education, job creation, entrepreneur development and urban revitalization. Diversified Capital's strategic plan creates a $1.3 billion integration of industries, technologies, education and training in Kansas City's low-income community. In the same year, they plan to cast a net over 40 major cities and 10 rural areas throughout the southern states. The Black Economic Union now plans to quickly develop a very effective General Partner management team that will proactively create greater transaction opportunities for members and others while furthering economic unity and equity growth.

Implementing an Effective Third-Party Due Diligence Program

Part 1 of 3: Financial services firms are increasingly contracting with third-party service providers to perform activities related to their business functions and regulatory responsibilities.

A formalized third-party due diligence program can protect against reputational harm or headline risk, and better defend against investor litigation or regulatory action in the event of errors or losses. Having a documented process and adhering to that process can provide a clear factual defense in legal disputes or regulatory proceedings. In this installment of Compliance Corner, ICSGroup breaks down the components of an effective third-party due diligence program.

Registration will open shortly for the NAIC Annual Private Equity and Hedge Fund Conference, to be held October 3-4, 2016 at Bank of America Tower in New York City. This is the premiere event for diverse-owned and emerging investment managers that offers vital industry information, contacts and networking opportunities for professionals in all areas of the private equity industry. Please contact the NAIC office for more information and to learn more about additional sponsorship opportunities: info@naicpe.com
