Benefits for Each Type of General Partner

FrontInvest is designed to offer an integrated platform to handle the business operations of general partners, from fund raising to account postings. FrontInvest comes with a standard configuration developed from alternative asset industry best practices. This standard configuration is flexible and enables clients to customize to bespoke specifications, and facilitates the incorporation of each partnership’s added business requirements.

Coverage for Each Segment of the Private Equity Sector

FrontInvest centralizes information in a single database and this information is shared across its modular platform; this allows for flexibility in deploying and customizing solutions for clients. Both equity and debt instruments are supported, enabling business users to address any type of private equity investment.

Below is a set of examples of the solutions; any combination of these can be deployed:

Venture Capital and Growth Capital: Fund raising, deal flow management, CRM, portfolio monitoring

Leverage Buyout: Management of complex financial transactions and debt amortization schedules

Mezzanine: Loan tracking and client management, management of complex debt instruments

Display and Control Pipeline

Pipeline reports can be customized as real-time dashboards, displaying the pipeline by industrial sector, asset class, vintage, or any other criteria. Furthermore, performance reports can be built, benchmarking portfolio investments against indexes. Additionally, operational reports measuring business metrics, such as measuring the duration of each task or time between stages of review, can aid in assessing pain points in a client’s pipeline management.

Track and Monitor Investments

FrontInvest enables general partners to track portfolio company information. Other information, such as co-investment information, can also be stored, allowing a complete view of the portfolio.

Monitor Performance

FrontInvest offers a set of dashboards for managing directors where real-time information can be displayed for analysis and reporting. FrontInvest reporting capability facilitates ongoing performance management and reports. At any level of the investment structure performance metrics, such as IRRs, can be calculated and customized, such as IRRs with fees or net of fees.

FrontInvest can be built to automate daily business transactions, such as management fees and carried interests, and the system enables the monitoring of contributions and distributions to and from investors.

Ease Communication with Investors

To ease communication with investors, general partners may grant limited partners access to an investor portal through which the general partner can communicate and disseminate quarterly and yearly reports; this enables the general partner to concurrently manage the fund’s portfolio and respond to limited partners. Furthermore, eFront’s reporting tool enables clients to define their own lay-outs and bespoke specifications on an on-going and ad-hoc basis.
