Hypothetical Waterfalls

Hypothetical Waterfall Audit Export

This month, we’ve released a key piece of what will eventually become an audit package: the Hypothetical Waterfall Audit Export. Users can now download reports with information auditors need to review each hypo.

Under Financial Reporting → Click into a completed Hypo:

  • Users can now click Download Audit in the top right to download the Hypothetical Waterfall Audit Export

    • If users have selected a specific fund via the dropdown on the top right, that fund’s data will be pulled in for the audit export

  • This report is nearly identical to our existing Waterfall Export (Capital Activity → Click into past distribution → Review Waterfall → Download Audit), with a few additions:

    • New row Ending NAV shows the total amount flowing through the hypo for the most recent quarter

    • New row Amount Impacting Pref shows the total amount from the hypo liquidation that comes from transaction codes impacting pref

  • The final tab in the report shows the P&L inputs by entity and its allocation to LPs, which is helpful for clients who enter P&L at multiple levels

Credit Facilities

Version Loan Config

This month, we’ve released the ability for users to create new versions of loans directly in the UI. When loan terms change, users can now edit all terms of their loans and save them with an effective date. Next time users go to post interest expenses, the system will pull in the correct loan version.

Under Configuration → Credit Facility → Loan Configuration → Click into a loan:

  • Users can now click the 3-dot menu on the top right to edit the loan

  • They can then update all terms of the loan — e.g. applicable margin, spread, interest rate floor, etc. They can also add notes.

  • Users must set an effective date for the version

  • The new loan shows up under Version History in the Facility Details tab

  • The loan version updates in the Credit Facility so that borrowing on the effective date and thereafter is in accordance with the new terms set by the user

Capital Activity

Capital Call Reallocations

We've made some updates to the UI to make it more clear when there’s a draft reallocation in progress on a capital event. Now, when users visit the Capital Activity dashboard, a banner alerts them if a draft reallocation is in place. When clicking into the event, users have the option to discard the draft or continue work on the reallocation.

Under Capital Activity → When there is a draft reallocation in progress on a capital event:

  • We added a Draft Reallocation badge to the event on the main dashboard

  • We added a banner to the capital event summary page that calls out the draft reallocation, with buttons to discard the draft or continue the reallocation

  • We added the ability to continue/discard in the three-dot menu

  • We also updated capital call and distribution sub-events (green clickable text with arrow) from the fund level to the fund family level, so the links are now in the column header

Custom Notice Text

For clients that use our bespoke notice creation, we have introduced the ability to define custom text that varies capital event by capital event.

This custom text can be referenced in a cover letter and/or the body of the notice itself.

Management Fees

Management Fee Waivers

We now support management fee waivers for funds that accrue waivers automatically with fee postings!

Under Configuration → Fund Family → Fees:

  • Users can view existing waiver config in the new Management Fee Waiver table

  • User can set up or edit management fee waivers by clicking the 3-dot menu at the top right of the table

    • Users can select a Start Date for the fee waiver accrual using the date-picker

    • They can then select a management fee waiver Cap Calculation from a list of pre-configured custom calculations

      • Once an LP's Cap is hit, management fee waivers will stop accruing

    • They can also select a management fee waiver Calculation from a list of pre-configured custom calculations

  • Users can click Add a fee waiver calculation to add additional management fee waiver accruals by entity (e.g. Main Fund and Parallel Fund)

Under Fees → Create Fee Posting

  • If Management Fee Waivers have been set up for the fund, they will accrue along with fees starting on the effective date configured in the workflow above

  • Users can see a breakdown of the split between Fee Accruals and Management Fee Waivers

Usability Improvements

Page Width Responsive Header Styling

We've updated the top navigation bar to respond better to custom browser widths. Now when a user's screen is resized to a small width, the options in the top header will dynamically collapse into a More menu.
