Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. LPreportly publishes no valuation, no benchmark multiple, no target growth rate and no loss ratio of its own: the marks, the KPIs and the ownership are your fund's own figures.

Private equity portfolio monitoring software is what a fund's portfolio lead searches for on the quarter the spreadsheet stops being enough: one tab per holding, a KPI email from each company that arrives in a different shape every time, the marks retyped from last quarter's sheet, and the partners' review due on Friday. What the software has to hold is not complicated. Every holding with its cost, the fund's ownership, the fund's own mark by quarter and the KPIs the company reported, and the arithmetic that turns those into the figures the review reads: each position's value and multiple on cost, the portfolio's gross, realised and unrealised multiples, and the roll-forward from last quarter's marks to this one's. This guide walks what private equity portfolio monitoring software has to keep and work, and the free portfolio monitoring worksheet on this site works one position from your own cost, ownership and mark with no account.

The holdings: cost, ownership, mark and KPIs, by quarter

Every portfolio company with what the fund paid, the fund's fully diluted ownership, the mark the fund carries it at and the handful of KPIs it collects each quarter: revenue, cash, burn, headcount, whatever the fund tracks. Filed by quarter rather than overwritten, so the trend exists when a partner asks.

The position worked from the mark, not from a valuation method

Ownership times the company's value at the fund's mark is the position's value; less cost is the unrealised gain; over cost is the gross multiple. The mark is the fund's own input, from its valuation policy and its auditor, and the worksheet publishes no method and no valuation of its own.

The portfolio and the roll-forward, worked the same way every quarter

Realised and unrealised holdings into gross, realised and unrealised multiples, concentration and the loss ratio; last quarter's closing marks through this quarter's investments, exits and mark changes to this quarter's closing value. Worked from the record rather than retyped, this quarter reconciles to last by construction.

Private equity portfolio monitoring software: what portfolio teams ask

What does private equity portfolio monitoring software actually do?

It keeps the holdings with their cost, ownership, marks and KPIs by quarter, and works each position's value and multiple, the portfolio's analytics and the valuation roll-forward from them so the review is the same arithmetic every quarter. LPreportly does the arithmetic free on the page; LPreportly Pro keeps the record.

Does it value the portfolio companies?

No. The mark on each holding is the fund's own, set by its valuation policy and its auditor; LPreportly takes it as an input and publishes no valuation method. Valuing a company by method is the valuation venture's subject.

Does it issue capital calls or the investor update?

No. Capital calls, distributions, the investor update and LP reporting are the relationship venture's product, live at rapportvo.com. LPreportly keeps the holdings' side: the positions, the marks, the KPIs and the review.
