Whether you are an UHNW investor or a member of a family office or private bank investment team, attempting to manage private investments on a custodial platform leads to a whole host of frustrations. The issues are the result of trying to manage different asset types using a custodial platform that was not specifically built to address the complexities of private investments.
Custodial platforms were built as accounting systems and are generally focused on cash flows. They lack the native infrastructure needed to deliver an accurate view of private investments. While they can account for a private investment transaction, custodial systems may not populate the correct investment data for weeks or even months after the transaction. This results in an inaccurate view of overall portfolio performance, exposure, liquidity and risk, as well as possible inaccuracies at the asset holding level.
