In a market where LPs scrutinize operational strength as closely as performance, even small inefficiencies can become competitive disadvantages…...

Over 60% of wealth advisors forecast an increase in client allocations to private markets.  For high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and family offices, the message is clear: public markets no longer provide the shelter they used to. Instead, private funds (equity, credit, real estate) are viewed as the haven, the distinction, the future.  But there is a sharp caution derived from this movement. To realize the potential of private…...

Private equity (PE) and venture capital operate in complex, high-pressure environments every decision carries significant implications for performance and investor confidence. The Harvard Business Review highlights that nearly two-thirds of a venture-backed start-up fail to yield a positive ROI. For investors, even one underperforming portfolio company can damage fund performance and destroy LP confidence. That's why portfolio monitoring in VC and private equity is vital to investment administration. By monitoring portfolio companies, firms can proactively capture warning signs, direct management…...

The fund management industry is at an inflection point. Legacy frameworks are struggling to meet rising investor expectations. For instance, manual workflows increase the risk of error, and regulatory scrutiny continues to grow. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer experimental. It is being deployed across fund operations to improve accuracy, speed, and compliance readiness. Fund administration firms are investing in AI to improve operational efficiency and control costs. These adopters understand that accuracy, speed, and trust are foundational to fund…...

Secure data connectivity is thus critical for safeguarding investor data, staying compliant, and allowing timely decisions.  In this article, we uncover the trends driving data connectivity compliance and how to…...

In 2025, the pressure on GPs to navigate stricter global regulations is tighter than ever. With the total managed private market assets approximating $13.1 trillion and an over 20% annual growth since 2018, regulators are responding with sharper scrutiny.  They are cracking down on ESG disclosures, cross-border fund compliance, investor protection, and AML/CFT standards. These regulatory updates for GPs in 2025 signal a call to action. Therefore, GPs must view compliance as a key strategic pillar for fund governance. In…...

Regulations surrounding GPs are tightening globally. Firms are now being extensively scrutinized across ESG, tax reporting, cybersecurity, and LP transparency benchmarks. PE firms even face stricter regulatory scrutiny, especially within the diligence and portfolio oversight phase.  The question is, are GPs sufficiently prepared? Surprisingly, 45% still struggle to understand and execute new regulations. GPs should not just leave compliance to marginal operations. They need to be proactive and have well-aligned systems. Otherwise, they risk litigation liability, erosion of investor trust,…...
