For private equity funds, tracking portfolio ownership data is a pain point that causes challenges in portfolio valuations.\u00a0<\/p>

Private equity structures are complex<\/strong><\/p>

Private equity funds use complex corporate and capital structures across their portfolios. It is common for portfolio cap tables to have multiple instruments with varying terms to accommodate management shareholders and align their interests with the fund.\u00a0<\/p>

These structures are difficult to manage and funds often lack visibility over them. Common pain points include:\u00a0<\/p>

  • Funds and portfolio teams have to maintain multiple spreadsheets tracking portfolio cap table data\u00a0<\/li>
  • Portfolio cap tables are constantly changing due to events at the portfolio level\u00a0(joiners, leavers, buybacks, issuances, cancellations, reorganisation etc)\u00a0<\/em><\/li>
  • Complex calculations need to be maintained\u00a0(e.g. to track interest schedules on Loan Notes and Preference shares)<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

    All the above results in data and workflow challenges during portfolio valuations and waterfall modelling<\/p>

    DealsPlus solves the above paint points in three clear stages.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

    Stage 1: Create a single source of truth across the Fund\u2019s portfolio structures<\/strong><\/p>

    In stage 1, DealsPlus creates a single source of truth across a private equity fund\u2019s portfolio structures. We onboard all your portfolio ownership data to give you one place to access them. Our platform converts the data into meaningful information with real-time cap tables, ownership registers, structure charts, documents, and calculated interest schedules on coupon-bearing instruments.<\/p>

    At the end of stage 1, a private equity fund gains full visibility and control across portfolio structures and can undertake intelligent data analytics.\u00a0<\/p>

    DealsPlus has role-based access controls to enable granting of access across internal and external teams flexibly and securely. DealsPlus is not priced by the number of users and has no restrictions on the number of users.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

    Stage 2: Link ownership data to portfolio valuation and waterfall models<\/strong><\/p>

    The real-time cap table data in DealsPlus is linked to the portfolio valuation and waterfall model. This enables fund managers to gain visibility on the value split between each instrument and shareholder in the portfolio cap table. It is possible to obtain this value by any date \u2013 historic or future. For example, the fund can see the split of value between its holdings and those held by non-fund shareholders (e.g. management teams, co-investors etc).\u00a0<\/p>

    DealsPlus\u2019 secure role-based access controls enable granting of access to both internal and external teams (e.g. cross functional teams, external advisors, and portfolio teams). Intelligent and user-friendly workflows enable easy administration of cap tables of any complexity during the portfolio holding period.
