id Linked® — Governance Infrastructure for Independent Directors
Reducing governance, regulatory and reputational risk around
Independent Non-Executive Directors (iNEDs).
id Linked is a digital Luxembourg-based governance platform company
providing infrastructure, process and tools around iNEDs.
We support Asset Managers, Boards, Advisors & iNEDs across the full lifecycle:
from appointment, to mandate management,
to ongoing governance efficiency.
Why Independent Director Governance Needs Structure
iNED decisions are no longer informal relationship-based choices.
They are:
• Scrutinised by the regulators, e.g. CSSF
• Reviewed during investor due diligence
• Assessed by auditors and advisors
• Critical during fund launches, restructurings and resignations
Yet many organisations still rely on undocumented networks, creating governance,
independence and execution risk.
id Linked exists to professionalise this ecosystem.
