I recently read with great interest the “ILPA Private Equity Principles” which is an excellent guide to best practices developed by the Institutional Limited Partners Association (www.ilpa.org). One of the first key points made in the introduction to this guide points out that “requiring the general partner to have a meaningful equity interest in their own funds helps private equity firms to maintain a “single-minded determination to maximize returns on the underlying investments.”
One of the key best practices emphasized in the guide is the importance of transparency and accuracy in reporting from the general partner to the limited partners throughout the lifecycle of each investment and each fund. An entire appendix is provided that details the wide variety of reports that are regularly required.
Our firm, Eisner Information Solutions (www.eisneris.com), helps Private Equity firms assure the accuracy and timeliness of their reporting and client tracking by using a combination of industry-leading systems including Microsoft Dynamics GP Microsoft Dynamics CRM and PrivityCRM. PrivityCRM is especially helpful since it is a client relationship management system designed specifically for Private Equity firms.
