daappa key strengths
Functional capabilites overview
daappa Core provides fund administrators and managers with retained back office operations with the capability to deliver a first class service to their clients and investors.
Achieve economies of scale by using tailored straight-through business processing where administration and accounting controls ensure the accuracy and auditability of data.
Comprehensive coverage for fund types including limited partnership, trust, corporate, mezzanine and fund of funds, SPVs with proficient multi-entity accounting.
You can set up funds as closed ended partnerships or as unitised corporate funds. Fund NAVs can be defined and calculated automatically.
AML/KYC approvals can be tracked and external data can be imported to support the approvals.
Our clients benefit from flexible investor allocation rules to create drawdowns and distributions using specific transaction codes to track the purposes of each including fees, charges, drawdowns for specific investments and recallable distributions.
Partner capital accounts can be designed and automated drawing on both drawdown and distribution details and also the portfolio details such as unrealised gains/losses and income from dividends and loans.
With daappa you will be able to streamline communications with your investors and potential investors using the mail merge and CRM functions.
Investors can access their reports and notices via daappa Studio Portal
At its core, daappa’s strong transaction-driven accounting foundation guarantees that your data is controlled through a single point of entry that in turn is the golden source of truth for all your investor reporting, performance analytics, compliance obligations, market analysis and decision making.
With daappa, the full lifecycle of your portfolio investments can be captured from the deal pipeline, due diligence workflows and data collation, regular tracking of investment companies’ accounts and KPIs, right through to the full accounting book of records and the general ledger, which can be set up to reflect the accounting standards relevant to each fund.
Portfolio and investment performance can be monitored using a structured collection and collation mechanism. An automated, transparent valuation process uses pre-defined and user-defined algorithms that are entirely under your control and are configurable to draw on all data from across the platform.
daappa’s CRM functionality enables you to track current workflows, historic documentation and communications with all parties involved in deal generation and portfolio maintenance.
Accessibility of data exactly how and when it is needed is a fundamental benefit of using daappa.
We provide standard reports for financial reporting (including IFRS9), market reporting (such as BCL, INREV, FATCA and CRS) and performance reporting such as IRRs with a variety of parameterisations. You can adapt these reports and create your own to reflect your specific requirements and include extra data that you may have chosen to collect.
Analyser, our self-service data extract and report builder, gives you the power to respond to ad hoc enquiries and provide high quality management information and accounting reports.
Analyser can be used to prepare formal reports or extract directly to Excel for ad hoc reporting and for downstream processing. This includes the ability to create ESG related reports drawing on data points defined, collected and collated against the funds and investments within them. These can be updated and controlled by you as your needs change and develop.
Whilst these reports may be sufficient for most clients there is a powerful analytics tool that can draw on additional data sources as the client specifies for deep and complex assessments.
There is a look through function that draws on the transaction details to produce a graphical representation of entire investment structures and calculation of the ownership percentages of any investors within the structure. You can set up specific investment mandates for each of your funds to identify any current and likely breaches.
