Today’s Top Alternative Investment Data Challenges
-
Accessing complete sets of high quality, granular private market data is challenging.
-
Typically available private market performance benchmarks generate little insight and are difficult to access and customize.
-
Available tools do not reliably assess and compare the actual performance and risk of different alternative investment fund managers.
-
Due diligence procedures are greatly constrained by the challenges in accurately assessing the impact of potential investments on existing portfolios.
-
Advanced analysis of portfolio and investment opportunities often requires third party support due to limited or constrained in-house capabilities.
How will eFront Insight LP impact your alternative investment data?
-
eFront Insight ensures that limited partners receive the data they need faster than ever before without wasting time and resources on complicated data collection and validation procedures. An intuitive graphical user interface featuring object-based navigation enables LPs to quickly and easily generate cutting edge insights with zero time required for implementation and learning.
