Just Released - Improved Investor Portal Configurability

At Caruso, we understand that every fund manager has unique investor portal and reporting needs. Whether you're managing a boutique real estate fund or a large-scale private credit portfolio, the way you present performance data to your investors should reflect your fund's specific characteristics and your investors' expectations.

That's why we're excited to announce our new investor portal configuration features, giving fund managers and admins unprecedented control over how they present fund performance to their investors.

Tailored Investor Experiences That Build Trust

The modern investor expects transparency, but they also value clarity over complexity. Our new configuration capabilities allow fund managers and admins to craft investor experiences that strike the perfect balance between comprehensive reporting and digestible insights.

Holding and Performance Metrics

Fund managers and admins can now enable or disable individual performance metrics at both the consolidated portfolio and individual holding views. Whether you're dealing with incomplete historical data from legacy systems, want to show different metrics per fund based on its unique underlying holdings, or simply prefer to focus investors' attention on the most relevant performance indicators, you have the flexibility to customise what investors see.

All key metrics are auto-calculated in real time using data from within Caruso. Available metrics include key holding information such as capital committed, capital contributed, and holding value; return metrics such as income distributed and capital distributed; and performance metrics such as cash yield, IRR, TVPI and others.

Custom Metrics for Fund-Specific Insights

Beyond standard holding and performance metrics, fund managers and admins can now create custom key metrics using their own datapoints or calculations. Whether its occupancy rates for real estate funds, loan-to-value ratios for private credit, or sector-specific KPIs.

This feature addresses a common challenge we've observed: fund managers and admins often track metrics that are crucial to their investment strategy but don't fit standard reporting templates. Now, those insights can be seamlessly integrated into the investor experience.

Graphs and Visual Analytics

Fund managers and admins have access to five different interactive graphs that can be toggled on or off at both the consolidated fund and individual holding level. All graphs use live data, providing investors with real-time visual insights into fund performance. Available graphs include recent distributions, cumulative distributions, holding or portfolio value tracking, capital commitment percentage, and more. These interactive visualisations help investors quickly understand complex performance data and trends across their investments.

Simple Configuration

As with everything, these new features have been designed to be easily managed by in-house or third-party fund admin teams. The configuration system operates on two levels: portfolio-wide preferences managed through the Settings > Configuration page, and fund-specific settings controlled within individual fund settings. This approach allows fund managers and admins to establish consistent organisation-wide defaults whilst maintaining the flexibility to customise specific funds based on their unique characteristics.

The system automatically handles currency conversions for managers with funds in multiple currencies, rolling up all data to the default currency using spot rates from transaction dates. This ensures consistent reporting whilst maintaining accuracy across diverse investment portfolios.

Building Investor Confidence Through Clarity

Ultimately, these features serve a fundamental principle: investor confidence grows when information is presented clearly and consistently. By giving fund managers and admins the tools to tailor their investor portal and reporting, we're helping them build stronger, more trusting relationships with their investor base.
