Fundraising & Fund-Investor Dashboards for 2023’s Increase to ALTS Allocation

We wanted to take a moment to highlight two key dashboards that we believe will continue to increase in popularity as we approach 2023. Let’s start first with some background based on a recent Dynamo Frontline Insight Report.

With so much uncertainty in the market, it’s hard to know when the bull will return. While many Limited Partners (LPs) and asset allocators are preparing for 2023’s recession, they continue to turn their focus on what can help their teams work more effectively, while optimizing investment workflows. The visibility that LPs are continuing to push for will be cause for General Partners (GPs) to evaluate their own FinTech and communication strategies to provide a holistic performance picture in 2023.

In a recent research study, conducted by Dynamo Software and Northfield Information Services, a key stat shines as a meaningful indicator that informed risks with the prospect of higher returns will be a priority. In fact, 55% of LPs indicated that they will increase their ALTS allocation in 2023.

Let’s review two dashboards for GPs that will help handle numerous investment strategies, allowing fundraising teams to track multiple fund raises, while also measuring and managing multiple alternative strategy pipelines.

Executive Fundraising Dashboard

Dynamo’s Executive Fundraising Dashboard enables Fundraising teams to assess the progress of their Fund(s) fundraising progress.

For Limited Partners (LPs) & Asset Allocators

Stress Tests Now Available in Allocation Planning Tools

Dynamo’s Portfolio Projections Dashboard (PPD) introduces Stress Tests as a new component to our allocation planning tools for Limited Partners. Using historical index returns and cashflow forecasting, the latest enhancement helps to analyze the impact of adverse periods (such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis) and identify potential vulnerabilities in a client’s portfolio. Combined with the previously introduced Cash Management feature, clients can also assess potential overages and shortfalls related to future liabilities as part of portfolio rebalancing and allocation decision making.
