This Waterfall Automation solution for private equity funds takes a feed of investor capital (from source systems Investran, eFront, AltaReturn or other) and calculates a distribution waterfall at the lowest level of detail required. The waterfall is made up of return of capital, preferred return, GP/LP catch-up and carried interest. Scenario modeling includes flexes on preferred return rate, catch-up and carry splits, future cash flows and exit dates, as well as a holdback provision on investor distributions, in cash or percentage terms.

LPA’s can be complex, particularly for your largest and most important investors.
