USE CASES
LIQUIDITY PLANNING TOOL
For Private Equity funds and Illiquid Assets
A growing need for cash management in Private Equity portfolio management
Investors increasingly allocate assets to alternative strategies, which tend to be illiquid and based on commitments to managers, funds or corporate events. While traditional
allocations to liquid assets (equities and bonds) were easy to manage, newer strategies require commitments with impacts on cash levels over many years.
Investors often mis-understand their true commitments and cash requirement for specific timeframes. This results in material over or under-allocation to cash and impact on future
portfolio performance and liquidity risk. Fund managers / GPs provide fund level data on past funds cash flows, but very little has been done to allow LPs to model their future cash flow requirements independently. Most investors rely on unstable and uncomplete spreadsheets.
Track properly all your commitments
Your entire portfolio, including both positions and commitments, will undergo meticulous monitoring procedures, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of all associated cash flows. Every capital call, distribution, fee, or dividend will be meticulously categorized and consolidated within your portfolio framework. This initial phase is essential as it provides the model with precise and accurate data specific to your holdings, rather than relying on generic fund or industry information. By capturing the intricacies of your financial transactions and commitments, we ensure that the resulting analysis is tailored to your unique portfolio composition and objectives, enabling more informed decision-making and strategic planning.
