Today’s Top Fund Management Challenges

  • Meeting investors’ increasingly detailed reporting expectations is time-consuming.

  • Accurately maintaining bookkeeping for a diverse set of complex alternative investment structures consumes considerable time and resources.

  • Stringent regulatory requirements and increasing pressure on fees makes it ever more imperative for general partners to maintain efficient operations.

  • Manually consolidating and tracking investment information across multiple software platforms and excel files is time-consuming and error-prone.

  • Few available fund management software solutions have the breadth to meet complex and diverse requirements across alternative asset classes and investment types throughout the investment cycle.

  • Most software tools are limiting in terms of the complexity of calculations GPs can leverage across investments, especially regarding FX and debt-related transactions.

How will eFront Invest GP impact your alternative investment fund management?

  • eFront Invest centralizes the capabilities GPs require throughout their investment cycle into one single location, reducing operational errors from storing information across multiple systems. GPs can leverage eFront Invest's workflow and compliance tools in order to streamline, centralize, and optimize team performance while strengthening the integrity and traceability of information and promoting auditability across investments.

  • Because eFront Invest was configured as a European software solution prior to the Euro Zone, it was designed to address multi-currency investment situations. With information stored in investor, fund, operation, and share currencies, eFront Invest gives general partners the flexibility to effortlessly record any type of transaction. Thanks to powerful dashboards, GPs can easily monitor currency risk and model various hedging instruments (FX Spot, FX Forward, Interest Rate Swap, Cross Currency Swap, etc.).

  • eFront Invest supports a wide range of formatting for internal and external reporting including excel, word, pdf, fully customizable dashboards, and queries, in addition to full ILPA compliance. With targeted modules addressing debt and hedging transactions, eFront Invest facilitates best in class reporting capabilities at every step of the investment cycle. GPs can further leverage complete integration with eFront’s Investment Café in order to seamlessly and effortlessly transform their fund management and investor communications.

  • eFront Invest reduces the amount of time GPs spend on bookkeeping activities through the automation of countless features including revaluations, account rebalancing, and general ledger entries, thereby reducing the risk of manual errors. Furthermore, thanks to eFront Invest’s simplified transaction-driven approach, GPs do not need accounting expertise in order to manage their investments. With just one initial setup of accounting schemes, postings can be automatically generated at the validation of transactions.

  • eFront Invest incorporates a set of advanced reporting tools that enable GPs to gain full transparency throughout their entire investment structure all the way down to their underlying portfolio companies. Through automation, GPs can also set up advanced operations that can later be automatically replicated for future transactions, greatly increasing the operational efficiency of capital calls on multiple fund vehicles, fee apportionment on multiple entities, and consolidations across their investment structure.
