Today’s Top Alternative Investment Challenges
-
Investors are requiring a greater quantity of granular data from their fund managers, in addition to quarterly reports.
-
Every quarter, fund managers must redirect costly resources towards filling in numerous reporting templates, with different content for each of their investors.
-
Fund managers have little insight into how their investors interpret and use the data they provide.
-
Fund managers struggle to control who can ultimately access their data, especially in light of ever increasing regulations such as the Freedom of Information Act.
-
Providing the due-diligence data and track records required by investors during fundraising cycles is often a bespoke, time-consuming process.
How will eFront Insight GP impact your alternative investments?
-
The eFront Insight GP platform facilitates efficient exchanges of information, enabling general partners to quickly respond to LP data and template requests. General partners can realize significant time savings by completing and uploading our standardized template, from which a variety of industry reporting templates (ILPA, AltExchange, specific advisor templates, etc.) are automatically generated. Information can be shared with LPs with the click of a button, removing the need to maintain a manual information tracking system.
-
eFront Insight enables general partners to review their alternative investment data using the exact same analytical charts and tools used by their investors. Thanks to this feature, GPs have complete transparency on the KPIs used to evaluate performance and can better gauge how their investors will interpret the data and analysis they provide, allowing them to better manage investor engagement.
-
eFront Insight features a library of charts and analysis options in addition to a variety of benchmarking tools and performance metrics (IRRs, TWRs, performance multiples, PME comparisons, etc.). Thanks to the incorporation of eFront Pevara benchmarking tools, and the data contributions from 1000s of managers, eFront Insight is able to provide GPs with immediate feedback on their data completion and quartile rankings. GPs are able to benchmark their own performance against that of the entire GP pool.
-
A combination of advanced validation technologies, best in class processes, and a dedicated team of data analysts ensures that alternative investment data is complete, accurate, and granular. With data quality guaranteed, general partners are thereby able to provide their investors with a rich source of information.
-
eFront Insight GP allows fund managers to load their deal packs and track records into the platform, and then monitor and track access to their data through deal monitoring dashboards. In addition, deal pack templates provide full coverage of the data points required by other vendors, enabling eFront Insight’s template generator to create and populate the data to be loaded into other platforms.
