Frequently Asked Questions

AlternativeSoft covers the complete institutional investment workflow including AI-powered DDQ completion, portfolio construction, automated IC reporting and governance documentation alongside fund analytics. PivotalPath focuses on hedge fund data and peer analytics without the broader workflow and due diligence automation capabilities.
PivotalPath does not provide AI-powered DDQ completion. AlternativeSoft's AI reads uploaded fund documents and generates questionnaire responses automatically, reducing completion time by up to 90% and maintaining the audit trail institutional governance requires.
AlternativeSoft connects to Bloomberg, eVestment, HFR, Morningstar, Preqin and Pitchbook simultaneously — providing a 500,000+ fund universe spanning hedge funds, private equity and all alternative asset classes. This multi-provider approach provides broader coverage than any single-provider database.
For institutions requiring end-to-end workflow coverage including AI-powered due diligence, portfolio construction and automated reporting alongside hedge fund analytics, AlternativeSoft provides a more complete platform than PivotalPath. AlternativeSoft also connects to a broader multi-provider fund universe.
Pricing for both platforms varies by usage and client size. AlternativeSoft uses module-based pricing. Contact AlternativeSoft to discuss pricing that matches your specific analytical and due diligence requirements.
