Private i is a database application that allows you to track, measure and report on private equity holdings. Originally written for some of the largest investors in private equity, Private i is an ideal solution for smaller investors as well.

Even a single investment in a venture capital partnership quickly creates a mountain of data, from capital calls, fees, and distributions to quarterly valuations of partnership-held portfolio companies. Private i provides the means to track investments and the details of the investments that come with it. Private i helps you manage your private equity portfolio.

Our Private i clients are investors with substantial commitments to alternative investments, including traditional private equity, direct and co-investments, gatekeepers, fund of funds, institutional investors, endowments, foundations and family offices.

The core application was designed as a platform for handling the broad range of private equity, and partnership-like activity. For example, although Private i is not a real estate management system, many of our clients use the limited partner model to track investments in real estate. Though not a hedge fund trading system, some of our clients use Private i to track partnership-like investments in hedge funds. The analytics are not confined to the Internal Rate of Return, but support a wide array of measures including the Time Weighted Return, the Investment Multiple, and so on.

The backbone of the system is a series of related data tables that provide support for tracking detailed information about organizations, portfolio companies and people. These include a complete integrated contact manager with unlimited linked addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and notes. Portfolio companies have additional characteristics, including industry codes and descriptions.

The growth of the Private i platform has come about organically, as the needs of our clients became apparent. Each of these modules is licensed separately.

The first add-on module to Private i came as the result of a request of a large corporate pension fund that was heavily invested in direct investments in portfolio companies. Now, five years later and several generations of improvements, the Direct Investments module is a robust implementation of direct deal tracking.

The second add-on module was developed at the behest of two of our largest clients to support the back-office administration of a fund of funds, including tracking the capital accounts of its investors. The Funds Console for fund of funds administration is now at work at some of the largest private equity fund of funds in the world.

The ICM Benchmarking toolkit was developed to address requests from clients for more effective ways to evaluate portfolio performance.

The Funds Distribution module allows users to manage the post-distribution activity of public stocks. This module was developed and refined in conjunction with two of our largest clients.
