REPORT COMPONENTS

Tailored Research Components

Bearstone can conduct asset tracing assignments across a wide array of worldwide jurisdictions simultaneously. We have extensive experience of the legal and practical issues associated with enforcement and collection of assets in the jurisdictions and legal regimes in which we work.

Asset Profiles

Corporate or individual ownership of real estate, vehicles, equity holdings, and more may be established during research.

Corporate Records Data

This primarily identifies shareholdings. Corporate network mapping can also identify companies with indirect connections to investigative targets, both locally and internationally.

Public Profiling

Media reporting can provide leads to assets owned by high-profile investigative targets. Social media analysis may uncover photographs of properties, or family members who hold assets on behalf of investigative targets.

Involvement in Litigation

Case transcripts may identify assets, while ongoing litigation may identify existing claims over assets belonging to investigative targets.

Financial Data

Credit reference data, along with involvement in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, provide valuable information about investigative targets’ financial standing.

Bespoke Research

Searches for specific assets or information not identified under other research components may be conducted, typically as a subsequent phase of research.

OUR APPROACH

Full Spectrum Intelligence

Bearstone’s intelligence-gathering process combines three complementary methods. Together, these provide our clients with detailed, actionable information.

OSINT (Open Sources Intelligence)

OSINT investigations involve the acquisition, analysis and assessment of information drawn from publicly available and proprietary (often referred to as 'closed-source') data sources.

HUMINT (Human Source Intelligence)

HUMINT investigations involve direct and indirect enquiries, conducted discreetly, with human sources who can comment authoritatively on the matters that are of interest to our clients.

Local and Domain Experts

Our select global network of operatives can obtain confidential information that cannot be obtained through traditional investigative means – including information on hidden ownership and beneficiaries, and locations of key investigative targets.
