What’s new?

Valuation updates can now be submitted directly in Carta!

We kicked off EoY reporting by launching Schedule of Investments (SOI) review emails with in-app flows for Fund Managers approve their valuations, markup their investments, or request other updates right in Carta. This is the first step in a set of functionality for making the quarterly and annual reporting process easier than ever.

How it works:

Rather than Fund Admins having to comb through investment valuations for every entity and curate one-off email threads with Fund Managers to ask for reviews and updates, they can now kickoff these emails with just a few clicks in Carta, and easily track where each entity is in the reporting process.

Fund Managers will be sent a link to their SOI for review and approval, where they can approve on the spot or request changes directly in app. For markups or markdowns, they can go through a fully in-app flow to complete the updates. They no longer need to go download their SOIs and itemize every change through email, to send back to their Fund Admin.

Any approvals or requests for changes will automatically be queued for Fund Admins to review and push through, while markups and markdowns that pass health checks will push through updates directly and be routed to Carta's Deal Docs team, so they can review and catalogue supporting documentation.

Who does this impact?

Fund Admins now have quicker, more efficient ways to send out SOIs to kickoff financial reporting, and track where each of their entities are in the process. They can spend less time keeping track of multiple email threads and keeping mental lists of which assets are ready to go and which need to updated.

Fund Managers can also view their SOIs by fund and directly request changes at any time, within Carta as needed, ensuring asset valuations are up to date throughout the year.

What’s next?

The team is working to add more in-app methods for funds to easily to keep their investment valuations up to date, such as note conversions, further reducing the time delays from back and forth emails, and ensuring better expediency and accuracy for valuation updates.
