Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's scanning manager profiles, searching for the golden thread
Track records gleaming, alpha generating, separating wheat from bread
Performance history tells the story, but numbers can deceive your eyes
Dig beneath the flashy returns, find where the real talent lies

[Chorus]
Due diligence detective, uncover every clue
PARIS guides your journey - Performance, Assets, Risk, Investment, Style too
Operational minefield waiting, back office can explode
Style drift sneaks in silent, watch the strategy erode

[Verse 2]
Assets under management growing, but can they handle all that weight
Infrastructure creaking, systems leaking, when the fund gets too ornate
Prime brokerage relationships, custody chains that hold your gold
Audit trails and legal structures, stories that must be retold

[Chorus]
Due diligence detective, uncover every clue
PARIS guides your journey - Performance, Assets, Risk, Investment, Style too
Operational minefield waiting, back office can explode
Style drift sneaks in silent, watch the strategy erode

[Bridge]
Key person dependency, what happens when the star departs
Redemption terms and liquidity, protecting investor hearts
Benchmark correlation shifting, strategy starts to morph and bend
Monitor the positioning, style discipline defend

[Verse 3]
Transparency windows fogging, monthly letters growing thin
Concentrated positions building, risk controls wearing thin
Fee structures eating profits, high water marks reversed
Administrative chaos brewing, operational curse

[Chorus]
Due diligence detective, uncover every clue
PARIS guides your journey - Performance, Assets, Risk, Investment, Style too
Operational minefield waiting, back office can explode
Style drift sneaks in silent, watch the strategy erode

[Outro]
Reference checks and site visits, validate what meets the eye
Hedge fund hunter stays vigilant, truth beneath the polished lie
