Fund Information. Portfolio Asset Detail.
This article from the Fund Information section shows the purpose of the Portfolio Asset Detail section in a fund report.
Purpose
The Portfolio Asset Detail section in a fund report is designed to give Limited Partners (LPs) detailed information in both a quantitative and qualitative format on each of the fund’s current portfolio companies / assets/ funds (referred to hereafter as ‘Portfolio Investments’). The volume of information may vary depending on the size of the Fund’s investment relative to the whole fund and the number of investments in the fund, but typically each individual Portfolio Investment report should cover one or two pages. To aid effective and efficient presentation these Guidelines have divided the types of information to be presented into four key sections:
- Basic information;
- Fund’s investment;
- Trading and financial overview;
- Valuation.
Typically, such Portfolio Asset Detail reports should be presented at least annually, and preferably six-monthly, with updates on key developments, e.g. exits and new investments, included quarterly.
