Portfolio reporting, for the fund's own portfolio team, is the holdings report: each position at the fund's mark with its multiple on cost, the portfolio's gross, realised and unrealised multiples, the roll-forward from last quarter's marks to this quarter's, and each company's quarter from its KPIs. It is the report the partners read before the one the LPs receive, and it is a different document: the investor's report is the relationship venture's at rapportvo.com. This page is what portfolio reporting software has to produce from the holdings record, what a venture capital dashboard shows of it between quarters, and why the report is a lookup when the record is kept and a rebuild when it is not.
The four tables the holdings report contains
The positions: each holding's cost, ownership, mark, value, gain and multiple, $7,200,000 and 1.8x on the worked example's company. The portfolio: gross, realised and unrealised multiples, the unrealised share, concentration and the loss ratio. The roll-forward: opening to closing through investments, exits and mark changes. The companies: each quarter's growth, runway and headcount. Each table is a worksheet on this site, and the paid plan works them from the record.
What portfolio reporting software has to do
Produce the four tables from the same record the marks and the KPIs were filed into, by quarter, and export them as tables rather than a PDF, so next quarter's report is this one with the numbers moved and the trend is a column. Software that stores the report and not the figures behind it cannot produce the next report from this one, and that is the whole difference between reporting software and a document.
What a venture capital dashboard shows between quarters
The same figures, live: which companies have reported this quarter and which are late, the positions at the current marks, the book's ratios as they stand. A dashboard is the holdings report before it is written down, and it is worth having when it reads from the record; it is a second spreadsheet when it is fed by hand. The worksheets on this site work any one figure from the inputs you enter; the record is the paid plan.
The investor's report is a different document
The report the fund's limited partners receive draws on the marks but is written from the fund's side, on paid-in capital, distributions and the multiples as reported, and it is the relationship venture's product at rapportvo.com. Portfolio reporting here is the holdings report the partners read first, from the holdings record, and this hub keeps the boundary rather than blurring it.
Questions people ask about portfolio reporting
What is portfolio reporting, for a fund's portfolio team?
The holdings report: positions at the mark with their multiples, the portfolio's ratios, the roll-forward and each company's quarter, produced from the holdings record. The free worksheets work each table; LPreportly Pro keeps the record.
What should portfolio reporting software export?
The figures behind the report as tables by holding and quarter, not the report as a PDF, so the next report is a lookup and the trend is a column.
Is portfolio reporting the same as LP reporting?
No. LP reporting is the investor's report on paid-in capital and the multiples as reported, the relationship venture's product at rapportvo.com. Portfolio reporting here is the holdings report the partners read.
