Core Modules Used by Administrators
At its core, Backstop incorporates tools that help administrators better manage all their client information, interactions, documentation, communications, and sales & marketing initiatives. Because Backstop integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook, you can rest assured that critical information stays current regardless of the source you pull it from. Beyond CRM and sales management, Backstop’s client relationship management tools help you to create and distribute fund and investor level statements and reports through email, hard-copy, and web based portals.
Backstop helps administrators manage shareholder, partner, and fund accounting in one platform. With Backstop, investor account balances, liquidity terms, management & incentive fee information, and historic performance metrics are never more than a click away. Managing capital calls and commitments for private equity investors, and processing subscriptions and redemptions for hedge fund and funds of funds is standard fare. What’s more, Backstop’s liquidity management tools simplify tracking and reporting on investor, and – for funds of funds – portfolio level liquidity opportunities and obligations.
