Fund Quarterly Update | ValueBridge App

New fund quarterly reports mean that dozens of private equity value bridges must be rebuilt. Quarterly update work that would take hours in Excel can be completed in minutes with the ValueBridge App.

Video walk-through

Guide highlights

Start from the fund dashboard

Confirm that invested, realized, fair value, and total value in the Gross Returns section tie to the prior quarterly report. If totals do not match, identify any discrepancies in the Portfolio Companies section.

Check for new fund investments

Create new portfolio company records for any new investments made during the quarter. Follow the Add a Portfolio Company guide, then return to the quarterly update.

Check for new fund exits

Update portfolio company records for any portfolio company exits during the quarter. Follow the Exit a Portfolio Company guide, then return to the quarterly update.

Update one deal at a time

On a portfolio company dashboard, create new inflow or outflow transaction records for any follow-on equity investments, distributions, or other quarterly events. Edit the FMV record so the date and capital structure and P&L numbers match the latest fund quarterly report.

Or update many deals at once

Save time by updating multiple FMV transaction records at the same time on the Edit FMV page. Pull up all the fund’s active deals, plus the exited deals with outstanding unrealized values (e.g., escrows, earn-outs). Click into the table and tab through dates and numbers so each row matches the latest quarterly report.

Use Edit when a transaction type must change — for example, moving outstanding escrow or sale proceeds from an FMV to an outflow once those proceeds are distributed.

Confirm totals on the fund dashboard

Return to the fund dashboard to confirm that invested, realized, fair value, and total value in the Gross Returns section match the latest quarterly report. If they do not, scan the Portfolio Companies section for discrepancies and add missing inflow or outflow transaction records. Portfolio company and fund returns will update automatically.

Update market datasets

For active deals, the App uses each portfolio company’s valuation date to find matching addressable market sizes, EBITDA market multiples, or revenue market multiples. Those drive market vs manager return calculations.

Find which market datasets are linked to fund portfolio companies on the Edit Markets page. Update custom addressable market, EBITDA market multiple, and revenue market multiple datasets on the Custom AMs, Custom EMMs, and Custom RMMs pages.

Adding or changing a data point automatically refreshes market metrics and instantly updates the value bridges for every portfolio company that is linked to that dataset. This also recalculates the value bridges for every fund, manager, and limited partner investment portfolio that includes one of the linked portfolio companies.
