Improving the Private Markets Investor Experience
A market use case on how GPs can streamline technology, boost analytics and reporting, convert data into insight, and ultimately enhance their partnerships with LPs.
Market challenge
Research from Bain & Company projects private markets assets to reach more than $60 trillion by 2032, a rate of growth more than double the public markets.1 With an accelerated pace of investment coming from both institutional and retail investors, GPs face escalating scrutiny on fund performance, how capital is being used, portfolio company information, fee and expense transparency, and more. To quickly aggregate responses to the growing number of LP inquiries, managers need unified, accurate data and advanced capabilities to support their investor base and ensure a healthy partnership with clients.
Arcesium solution
Arcesium’s data platform, Aquata™, enables GPs to ingest raw information from disparate sources, run data quality checks, harmonize datasets, and normalize clean data. Easily configurable analytics, self-service tools, and drill-down capabilities empower GPs to create investor-specific views or summary dashboards of the entire investor base and deliver timely responses to investor inquiries.
Market benefits
Private market funds gain a solution to organize, validate, and master data across systems and sources. Consolidated views over the entire investor base provide relevant datapoints to enhance decision-making, while pre-configured, tailored analytics improve timeliness and overall accuracy. Fund managers can quickly answer questions, generate professional tear sheets, and produce deeper strategic analysis — enabling operations personnel to refocus on higher-value activities. With Aquata, GPs gain the tools they need to demonstrate returns while LPs acquire the insights necessary to evaluate performance.
