“Herminius has become a mission-critical partner for us. Not many firms possess the kind of network access they do. Even fewer have the consistently good judgement to make sense of what they hear. They are flexible, responsive, and have shaped their product to our needs. Doing ‘a Herminius’ is now a standard part of our investment diligence. They are a provider we use heavily and trust.”

The Chief Operating Officer of a leading private equity firm

“We have partnered with Herminius in building a process that defines the standard of how we diligence and form a view of management teams. We have chosen Herminius because of their commitment to delivering a product that is both bespoke to our needs and actionable. They are ‘what good looks like.’”

“Between December 2021 and February 2022 Herminius briefed the Joint War risks Committee on the increasing probability of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and by mid-February briefed that the probability of invasion had reached 80%. This was at a time when many market players and their advisers continued to believe that an invasion would not take place. This allowed the JWC to take informed pre-emptive action ahead of the invasion based on Herminius’s advice.”

Neil Roberts, Secretary of the London Market’s Joint War risks Committee
