Does Your Fund Management Software Give Investors What They Want?

There’s one thing today that’s clear about the expectations of LPs: They want more transparency from their managers. According to Preqin in its Investor Outlook for Alternative Assets report, private equity investors rank transparency as their third most important issue. It trails only regulation and fees—their first and second focus areas respectively. The increasing investor appetite for the asset class is well documented, so this demand for transparency can’t be ignored. But why is this the case and what does it mean for firms and the fund management software they use?

Growing Wealth and Fund Management Software

According to the Forbes billionaire list, the number of extremely wealthy individuals in the world is increasing at a record pace. It’s no surprise, then, that family offices are among the fastest-growing investor category in private equity.

And these two facts seem to be correlated. Wealthy individuals increasingly are “institutionalizing” their wealth, hiring professional investment managers to invest their money, and looking to alternative assets for outsized returns.

At the same time, institutional investors continue to grow their investment teams, and most are expecting to increase their allocations to the asset class.

Tapping Into Trends and Responding With Advanced Fund Management Software

What are some of the results of the trends cited above? We’re seeing growing sophistication in family offices and many new faces at institutional LPs working on due diligence activities.

And as organizations look to expand their operations, they want to do so carefully. That means they’re requiring a bettering understanding of the commitments they’re making and more transparency. In fact, it’s safe to say that transparency is at the top of their list.

Fortunately, advanced fund management software can provide it.
