Pros / Cons
  • Having one centralized investment management platform has helped us track our investments and distribute tax and investment information in a much more timely, organized, and professional fashion.
  • The calculations of financial waterfalls don't always match up to our deal structures so we still are using spreadsheets to calculate distributions.

  • The Investment Summary Statements were one of the main reasons we were excited to use IMS, and the customization of the statements again fell short of our expectations, so we needed to implement a third-party vendor who could grant us our Summary requests.
  • There were just a lot of missing features like the ability to collect ACH payments within the portal and the ability to seamless verify our investors' accreditation statuses.
