Limited Partners

Today’s limited partners (LPs) require access to complex reports and custom dashboards on demand. Generic CRM platforms simply can’t address the need for real-time data for every stage of the investment lifecycle because they were built for a different business model — one that doesn’t take into account an LP’s complex relationship, deal, and funding structures.

DealCloud provides investors and partners with a data-powered platform that comes equipped with industry-leading fund administration, deal management, fundraising, and investor relations capabilities. No matter the size of your fund, the specificity of your preferences, or breadth of your investment appetite, the platform can be easily configured to help you manage your allocations, communications, and fundraising processes.

The world’s leading limited partners and investors are inundated with data. Without technology, the purpose and value of this data is hard to quantify. When limited partners leverage software like DealCloud, they are able to organize, tag, and report on that data. From tracking progress on negotiations, due diligence processes, or voting developments, limited partners can use software to inform their day-to-day activities.

Central to the DealCloud software platform for limited partners is the ability to track fund investments at every stage, with every fund manager or GP. Our software makes it easy for limited partners to organize and visualize data based on key factors such as fund strategy, capital allocations, deal teams, deal sources, and much more. DealCloud comes equipped with traditional CRM capabilities to manage transactions and relationships, but importantly, comes equipped with advanced features and functions that sophisticated limited partners need.

From strategy to execution

The true value of DealCloud’s software for limited partners is that it was built specifically for limited partners, and with their unique needs in mind. Limited partners maintain a complex web of relationships with GPs, advisors, bankers, brokers and other intermediaries, placement agents, accountants, consultants, lawyers, and other deal influencers. Without technology, LPs are at a disadvantage as they collect deal memorandums and industry insights because those cannot be transformed into institutional knowledge. With DealCloud, every data set a limited partner cares about comes to life and can be reported on.

LPs expect the funds into which they invest to have a sophisticated and technology-driven approach to investing and hold themselves accountable to the same level of finesse. Best-in-class limited partners and investors can leverage DealCloud’s platform for the following:

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY TRACKING
GP COMMUNICATION
INTERMEDIARY COVERAGE
FUND MANAGER COVERAGE
DEAL AND LEGAL DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
TRAVEL PLANNING
COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
INCREASED VISIBILITY INTO DEAL AND PIPELINE MANAGEMENT
