Tracking Valuations Across Vintages: a Practical Guide

The Choice

Most teams in Family Offices know the feeling: plenty of activity, but no single reference line for where the capital actually sits. Capital operations have quietly become the place where family offices lose evenings and weekends to spreadsheets. The way family offices run their own numbers says a lot about how steadily they can scale assets under management.

The Need

When custodian feeds reconciled in spreadsheets sets in, decisions get made on stale data and the quarter-end close drags. It rarely starts as a crisis; custodian feeds reconciled in spreadsheets builds quietly until an LP request or audit makes it impossible to ignore.
