The challenge

Alternative investments are growing fast. Most operations teams aren’t ready.

Documents trapped in inboxes and shared drives

Capital calls, K-1s, and quarterly statements arrive on different schedules and formats from dozens of managers. Manually collecting and validating them consumes weeks every quarter.

No single view across public and private holdings

Your CIO sees a complete picture of equities and fixed income. But, alternative investment data lives in a separate system or spreadsheet that is months out of date.

Regulatory reporting built on manual reconciliation

RBC schedules and Solvency II reporting require your team to reconcile data across systems. One error creates disproportionate downstream risk.

72% of institutional investors say they need to improve their alternative investment data and reporting operations.

What Clearwater does

One platform. Every alternative asset class. End to end.

Clearwater supports the full spectrum of alternative investments — from limited partnerships and private credit to mortgage loans — with the same automated, multi-tenant infrastructure that powers your public asset reporting today.

Private Funds & Limited Partnerships

From GP inbox to board report — automated.

Whether you manage 5 private funds and limited partnerships or 500, the workflow is the same: collect, validate, account, report. Clearwater automates every step, so your team focuses on the investments, not the administration.

 

Automated document capture and validation

GP statements, capital call notices, K-1s, and distribution notices are ingested, parsed, and validated automatically — with real-time alerts for anything missing.

Multi-basis accounting on one workflow

Run GAAP, statutory, and tax accounting simultaneously from a single data source. No reconciliation between systems. No duplicate data entry.

Look-through analytics and exposure reporting

See what’s inside your funds — sector exposures, geographic concentration, underlying holdings — not just the fund-level positions your general ledger sees.

Capital call workflows, K-1 aggregation, cash reconciliation

The full lifecycle — capital call tracking, distribution modelling, K-1 tax data aggregation, and wire reconciliation — managed in one place.

Mortgage Loans & Private Credit

The complexity of loans. The simplicity of one system.

Residential mortgages, commercial loans, draw-down facilities, CLOs — each has unique data needs, servicer relationships, and regulatory treatment. Clearwater handles them all within the same investment management framework your team already uses.

Unified data across servicers, originators, and trustees

Pull loan data from multiple sources into a single, reconciled view — no manual aggregation, no version-control problems, no morning of spreadsheet work before the investment committee.

Sophisticated modelling for every loan structure

RMLs, CMLs, draw-down loans, and LIHTC structures are modelled with purpose-built logic — so your accounting reflects the true economics, not a close approximation.

Collateral tracking and property risk dashboards

Monitor key risk metrics across your entire mortgage portfolio with custom thresholds and automated alerts for missing covenant documentation.

Regulatory output built in — Schedule B, RBC, Solvency II

Stop rebuilding regulatory reports from raw loan data every cycle. Clearwater automates the calculation and formatting for every major regime.

How it works

From your current state to fully automated — in four steps.

Clearwater’s implementation team has done this hundreds of times. Here’s what the journey looks like.

STEP 1:
Map your current process

We audit your existing workflows — which systems you use, how data moves, where the manual bottlenecks are — so the build is designed around your reality, not a template.

STEP 2:
Connect your data sources

GPs, servicers, custodians, and originators are connected via Clearwater’s data network. Your team stops chasing documents. They start appearing automatically.

STEP 3:
Configure accounting and reporting

Accounting bases, regulatory outputs, and reporting templates are configured to match your specific requirements — not the other way around.

STEP 4:
Go live and
keep growing

Your team operates in one platform. As your alternatives programme grows, Clearwater scales with it — no new systems to integrate, no new vendors to manage.
