Fund management is a complex business and requires rigour and control if you are to monitor your investments properly. To do this, it's essential to have a complete, clear and detailed view of your portfolio. That's why, at ScaleX Invest, we are introducing our new portfolio feature, specially designed to help funds monitor the risk and valuation of their portfolio on direct or indirect investments. The aim is to provide funds with the keys to an informed decision at every stage of the investment process, from due diligence to exit.

Advanced data collection and processing

Our portfolio feature leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to gather and process unstructured reporting data on all your investments, both direct and indirect. This feature is designed to handle the complexity and volume of data that funds typically deal with, providing a streamlined and efficient way to manage your line of investments. We retrieve your data and integrate it into our SaaS solution so that it is readable and understandable at a glance.

Time-saving reporting and flexible platform

Time is a valuable resource in fund management. Our Portfolio feature focuses on the KPIs that truly matter, ensuring a smooth and efficient data gathering process. The platform’s high modularity allows you to add custom KPIs and new funding events, tailoring the data collection to your specific needs. You have the power to update your portfolio. You can add events such as an investment in equity, convertible debt or loan, or a change in shareholding following financing from other investors. You can also indicate underperformance or bankruptcy.

In-depth insights on portfolio risk exposure

Risk management is a critical aspect of fund management. Our Portfolio feature allows you to leverage our backtested risk scoring algorithms and proprietary valuation models.
The KPIs monitored include :

- Annual revenue trend

- Year-on-year revenue growth

- LTM EBITDA margin

- Year-on-year EBITDA growth

- Revenue to team size ratio

- Months of runway

Each quantitative data point is weighted using our backtesting results, enabling us to obtain an overall risk score. This gives you a visual idea of the risk profile of the startup in your portfolio. You can add qualitative updates to maintain an accurate history of your investments and devote more time and energy to monitoring and supporting investments that are experiencing growth difficulties or liquidity pressures.

Fair valuation

 With our extensive dataset of revenue multiples, you can assess the fair value of your investments. This feature also helps you identify the best and low performers in your portfolio, enabling you to plan your exit strategies effectively. Our valuation is based on three methods, giving you several approaches that you can choose to apply or not. You have the final say in defining and saving the valuation that will be taken into account in real time in your fund's performance indicators.
