Governance
How the firm governs itself.
A firm that advises on capital and commits its own is held to a higher standard of conduct. This page sets out the standards GDA operates under and the policies that bind its businesses.
Standards of conduct
One standard across five businesses
The firm advises clients and commits its own capital, sometimes in the same sectors. That structure is a source of insight and a source of potential conflict, and it is treated as both: conflicts are identified before an engagement is accepted, disclosed to the parties they touch, and managed under a firm-wide policy that applies to every business equally.
Counterparty onboarding
Know-your-client and anti-money-laundering standards are applied to every client, investor, and counterparty before an engagement begins, and monitored for its duration. The firm declines mandates it cannot diligence.
Confidentiality and information handling
Client information is held in confidence and walled between businesses. Material non-public information is handled under a firm-wide policy governing who may hold it, and what they may do while they hold it.
Diligence and disclosure
Entity, registration, and engagement particulars are provided directly to clients and counterparties in the course of an engagement. Institutional diligence requests are answered by the firm, not by a webpage.
