Managing capital calls and distributions is an intensive operational task for back office teams. With disparate information, executing capital call payments and tracking distributions can be a time-consuming and inefficient process.
The challenge: Funding private market investments at scale
Capital calls are a core part of investing in private equity. When a notice arrives, deadlines can be tight, with just a few business days to initiate funding via wire transfers. For firms managing dozens of clients across multiple funds, navigating the logistics can quickly become overwhelming. Back office operations teams must answer critical questions like:
Which clients have capital calls due?
How much liquidity is needed to fund upcoming calls?
How much liquidity is expected to arrive from distributions?
Which distributions have been successfully received?
Which calls have been paid and which are still outstanding?
Many firms still track this information in spreadsheets, manually aggregating data from PDFs and emails, and coordinating with custodians to initiate wire transfers. But as firms compete to deliver best-in-class service and deliver more for the portfolios in their care, many are looking to improve legacy systems that hold them back.
The Addepar solution: The Capital Activity Dashboard
The Capital Activity Dashboard, launching in April, provides a clear view of upcoming capital calls and distributions by aggregating data from Alts Data Management, enabling teams to act quickly and confidently.
