Fund managers use phone calls, emails, web conferencing, texting and in-person communication to gain a more tightly integrated relationship with their investors. However, investment fundraising cycles differ depending on verticals, causing communication frequency to vary as well. For example, private equity fund managers are raising funds every few years, while real estate fund managers are in a continuous fundraising process. Regardless, streamlining the communication process, while making it easy for their investors to consume critical information, has become a key driver for all fund managers.

 

Enter Dynamo Software, a fintech that has built an extremely flexible and configurable cloud-based platform that empowers fund managers to update a communication portal without disruption to their workflows.

 

Steve Tobio, Vice President of Product, explains what’s unique about Dynamo’s platform for GPs: “Where Dynamo shines is in its offering of a solution that is at the forefront of the fundraising process where the first piece of communication happens. Then we take it all the way through the investor correspondence process and even to accounting and financial reporting. Having all that information in a single database makes the entire investment process extremely efficient for both fund managers and their investors.”

 

In a recent study published by Dynamo, Trends, Challenges, & Insights from Leading LPs & Asset Allocators, limited partners (LPs) and asset allocators reported that alternative investments are expected to remain a key strategy in 2023. Nearly all decision-makers participating in the survey said they would either increase (55 per cent) or maintain (41 per cent) their allocation to alternatives. When asked how they planned to invest in alternatives, 77 per cent of respondents chose fund managers. Co-investments and direct investments followed behind, at 55 per cent and 42 per cent respectively. Secondaries (28 per cent), derivatives (19 per cent) and cryptocurrencies (13 per cent) each made an appearance on the list of top alternatives for 2023 as well. 

 

This insight into how LPs and asset allocators are viewing key 2023 investment strategies translates into more fundraising for GPs. More fundraising necessitates a software platform capable of handling multiple investment strategies. Such a platform allows fundraising teams to track multiple funds, while measuring and managing multiple alternative strategy pipelines.

 

Dynamo has spent more than 20 years revolutionising the alternative investments industry and optimising processes for more than 1,000 clients with configurable, cloud-based software. Dynamo’s advanced CRM fundraisingdeal managementresearch management and investor relations functionalities allow GP firms to improve communication and collaboration.
