Fund managers running infrastructure, real assets, multi-strategy, or specialist vehicles face operational demands that generic software was never designed for. Prism provides the portfolio visibility, LP reporting, governance controls, and operating structure that institutional fund management requires.
The operational reality
Fund managers are running complex operations on tools built for simpler problems
The operational and governance demands on fund managers have grown significantly. Institutional LPs, regulators, and auditors all require structured evidence of how decisions are made, how data is managed, and how investor interests are protected.
Operational fragmentation across tools
Portfolio data, deal records, LP information, documents, and reporting outputs sit in different systems with no common data layer. Teams spend time reconciling information between platforms rather than acting on it. Every quarterly reporting cycle exposes the gaps.
Governance and audit requirements are rising
LP due diligence questionnaires, regulatory reporting requirements, and internal governance frameworks all require structured records of how investment decisions were made and how data is protected. Generic tools were not built to produce that evidence reliably.
LP reporting is high-effort and inconsistent
Producing quarterly updates, annual reports, and bespoke LP requests requires pulling data from multiple sources, formatting it consistently, and distributing it securely. The effort is disproportionate to the output, and the risk of error increases with each manual step.
How Prism addresses this
One connected environment for institutional fund management
Multi-fund portfolio visibility
Prism consolidates portfolio data across all fund vehicles into a single live environment. NAV, TVPI, DPI, RVPI, total AUM, and capital deployment figures are maintained continuously — not assembled at reporting time. Sector, geography, and currency exposure are tracked in real time with FX normalisation to your base currency.
Structured governance and a verifiable audit trail
Investment decisions, approval workflows, document access, and administrative actions are all recorded in Prism’s tamper-evident, SHA-256 hash-chained audit log. Every entry carries the identity, timestamp, and context of the action — making it suitable for LP due diligence, internal compliance review, and regulatory audit.
Investor reporting and LP portal
LP report packs are generated directly from Prism’s live portfolio data, removing the manual assembly step from quarterly reporting. Each LP receives access to a dedicated portal scoped to their position, with document watermarking and a complete access audit trail on every download.
CRM and relationship management
Prism’s CRM is structured around the relationships that matter in institutional fund management — GPs, LPs, fund vehicles, portfolio assets, contacts, co-investors, and advisors. LP commitment records are linked directly to fund performance data, and custom fields extend the data model to match your firm’s specific requirements.
Capital mechanics and fee structures
Capital calls, fund closings, distribution tracking, and fee and carry waterfall calculations are all managed within Prism. Called and uncalled capital is reconciled per LP against commitments, and the fee and carry module calculates management fees and carried interest in line with your fund’s specific terms.
Integrations and data connectivity
Prism connects to your existing infrastructure through outbound webhooks, API key-based data ingest, and SSO integration with your identity provider. Portfolio data can be exported for Power BI and Tableau. Bulk CSV import handles data migration from existing tools without rebuilding from scratch.
Security and compliance
Enterprise-grade security for institutional fund management
Institutional mandates require demonstrable security controls. Prism is engineered to meet those expectations at every layer — from infrastructure to application to access control.
LUKS encryption at rest and in transit
All data on LUKS-encrypted volumes. TLS at Cloudflare edge and Nginx. No unencrypted connections accepted at any point.
Tamper-evident audit logs
SHA-256 hash-chained log of every action. Alteration is cryptographically detectable. Retained for seven years.
Enterprise SSO and MFA
Full OIDC SSO with Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace. Users inherit your corporate MFA policies throughout.
UK GDPR compliant
Data processed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Full documentation at perspect.finance/security.
Common questions
Questions from fund managers
Yes. Prism is designed for fund managers across asset classes — including infrastructure, real estate, real assets, and multi-strategy vehicles. The platform’s portfolio management, LP reporting, and capital mechanics features are applicable to any closed-ended fund structure with committed LP capital, regardless of underlying asset type.
Prism provides the infrastructure to demonstrate operational governance to institutional LPs. The tamper-evident audit log produces a verifiable record of decision-making. The investor portal gives each LP secure, audited access to their documents. Perspect publishes full security documentation covering encryption, access controls, tenant isolation, and UK GDPR compliance, and handles vendor questionnaires directly.
Yes. Multiple fund vehicles can be managed within a single Prism tenant, each with its own LP base, commitment records, capital call history, and waterfall calculations. The portfolio overview aggregates across all funds, while individual fund views maintain the separation your LP reporting requires.
Yes. The Starter plan supports up to 5 internal users, covering many emerging manager operations teams. All features are included on every plan — the fee and carry waterfall, investor portal, audit logging, SSO, and reporting capabilities are available regardless of plan size.
Yes. Prism includes bulk CSV import with intelligent column mapping, field validation, and error reporting. This supports migration of fund records, portfolio companies, LP and GP records, commitments, and contacts. Custom fields created before import are also available as import targets, allowing you to bring across firm-specific data without losing it.
