The head of AIMA, Jack Inglis, said on the AIMA website that this completely new version "allows for considerable flexibility and ease of completion which we firmly believe will strengthen the exchange of information between manager and investor."

Inglis recently told various news outlets: “The due diligence process has evolved significantly since the first AIMA DDQ was published in 1997. Ever more investors are undertaking significant due diligence processes prior to making an investment. Many alternative investment fund managers have transformed into diversified multi-strategy, multi-product firms seeking investments from a wide range of investors. These factors have created challenges for investment managers and for investors alike. Reacting to these pressures, AIMA has modernised its suite of DDQs, making them more flexible, easier to complete and more data-driven than before.”
