Investment Structure

Limited Partners

As investors increasingly diversify into more sophisticated alternative investment strategies, across currencies, industries and geographies, having a comprehensive solution in place to measure exposure, mitigate risk and efficiently manage opportunity is of the utmost importance. As a fully-integrated solution, Investran helps Limited Partners organize, automate and simplify the investment lifecycle, while bringing together front-, middle- and back-office users, through a common frame of reference.

Increase Visability across Investments for Enhanced Performance and Reduced Risk

The Investran suite provides Limited Partners with access to all of the information needed to effectively manage risk and monitor performance of multiple investments, across strategies, industries and geographic regions. Utilizing benchmarking functionality and on-demand performance reporting, users are given a higher degree of visibility into underlying investments, allowing for efficient identification of trends to capitalize on opportunities and generate greater returns.

Visibility gained through Investran’s vast reporting and portfolio monitoring capabilities can also help firms manage and mitigate risk. Investran helps firms understand exactly how they are exposed by allowing them to identify and measure risk of their underlying portfolio companies, as well as supplying them with leverage ratios.

Investran also tracks underlying portfolio company costs and values in addition to total exposure across investments.
