A global private equity firm was considering investing alongside a competitor and its Middle Eastern founder, whose interests spanned hospitality and deep tech ventures across Asia. They required clarity on the firm’s business activities, ownership, and reputation.

Veracity uncovered potential links with a Middle Eastern military and opaque ownership structures, and investigated the founder’s unusually low public profile, each raising transparency and reputational concerns.

Our investigation covered multiple jurisdictions, drawing on well-placed sources across East and Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as reviews of corporate, legal, and financial records.

Veracity’s findings enabled the client to optimally structure the transaction and extract from the counterparty a range of contractual protections against the identified concerns.
