Complex Fund Structures
Private market firms often manage a variety of complex fund structures, including multiple share classes, side pockets, and co-investment vehicles, leading to challenges in maintaining accurate accounting records and reconciling investor positions.
Manual Processes
Many fund accounting and operations tasks are still performed manually, such as data entry, reconciliation, and reporting, resulting in inefficiencies, errors, and delays in financial reporting and investor communications.
Regulatory Compliance
Private market firms must comply with a myriad of regulatory requirements, including SEC regulations, AIFMD, and FATCA. This adds complexity to fund accounting and operations, requiring robust systems and processes to ensure accurate reporting and adherence to deadlines.
Data Fragmentation
Data fragmentation across multiple systems, spreadsheets, and documents makes it challenging to maintain a single source of truth for financial data, hindering timely decision-making, auditability, and data analysis.
