IDD Reporting on Funds
Investment due diligence reports your committee can stand behind

Track record, peer ranking, risk, factor exposure and stress tests on any fund, computed by one engine and laid out in your template: An IDD report where every figure is traceable, generated in minutes rather than assembled over days.

Last updated 11 November 2026.

In short

IDD reporting on funds is the written output of investment due diligence: A report that sets out a fund's track record, peer ranking, risk profile, factor exposure and stress test results, with the analyst's assessment, so a selection decision can be defended. AlternativeSoft generates IDD reports from one reconciled database of 500,000+ funds and 4,000+ statistics: You pick the fund and the template, the platform computes every figure, ranks it against the peer group an allocator would use, and produces the report in your branding. Every number is timestamped and traceable to its calculation.

Capabilities

From fund name to committee-ready IDD report

Each capability runs on the same engine and the same data, so the report never disagrees with the analytics.

Automated report generation

Pick a fund and a template; the platform computes the figures and lays out the report in minutes, in your branding.

Fund reporting software

Peer quartiles on every figure

A Sharpe ratio means little on its own. Every statistic is ranked in the fund's peer group, so the report reads with context.

Peer group analysis

Risk and stress testing built in

Drawdown, VaR and scenario results come from the same engine, not a second tool with different definitions.

Stress testing

Factor and style analysis

Factor exposures and residual alpha show where the returns come from, including LASSO factor selection.

Style and factor analysis

Batch and recurrence

Up to 100 reports per scheduled run, so the whole watchlist is re-reported every month without anyone assembling it.

AI drafting, grounded

Through AlternativeSoft MCP, Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot can draft report prose from the computed figures, never from the model's memory.

Why it matters

IDD reporting fails in spreadsheets for a predictable reason

An IDD report assembled by hand draws each section from a different place: Returns from one vendor, peer ranks from another, risk from a spreadsheet, and prose written against last month's numbers. When the committee or a regulator asks how a figure was produced, the answer is an archaeology exercise.

AlternativeSoft computes every figure in the report with one engine on one reconciled database. The same statistic has the same definition on every fund and in every report, each calculation is timestamped, and re-running the report next quarter is a schedule, not a project. That is what makes an IDD report defensible rather than merely finished.

Process

From fund name to IDD report in four steps

Load or find the fund

Pick it from the 500,000+ funds in the database, or import your own returns from Excel, CSV or SQL.

Build the peer group

By strategy, region, size or a named list: The group an allocator would actually judge the fund against.

Run the analysis pack

Track record, peer ranks, risk, factor exposure and stress tests, computed in one pass.

Generate the report

Your template, your branding, with your qualitative sections beside the figures. Export or schedule it monthly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is IDD reporting on funds?

IDD (investment due diligence) reporting is the written output of investment due diligence on a fund: A structured report covering the fund's track record, peer group ranking, risk profile, factor exposure, stress test results and the analyst's qualitative assessment, used by investment committees to approve or decline an allocation.

What is the difference between an IDD report and an ODD report?

An IDD report answers whether the investment is good: Returns, risk, peers, factors. An ODD report answers whether the operation behind it is sound: People, processes, service providers, controls and the findings from questionnaires and documents. AlternativeSoft produces both on the same manager record.

What should an investment due diligence report include?

An executive summary and recommendation, the track record against a benchmark, a peer group ranking, the risk profile (volatility, maximum drawdown, VaR, correlation), factor and style exposure, stress test results, portfolio impact, and the qualitative assessment of people, process and terms.

Can I use my own IDD report template?

Yes. You can adopt one of the 50+ templates, adapt one, or rebuild your existing house template so the platform fills it automatically, in your branding and disclaimers.

How long does it take to produce an IDD report?

Minutes once the fund is loaded. The analytics run in one pass and the report lays itself out from the template, so analysts spend their time on the assessment rather than on assembly. Scheduled runs re-report the whole watchlist automatically.

Can an AI assistant draft the report?

Through AlternativeSoft MCP, Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot can draft report prose grounded in the computed figures on your own data. The connector is read-only, and the numbers come from the platform's engine, never from the model's memory.

How much does IDD reporting cost?

AlternativeSoft is licensed annually by users and modules, not by assets. Pricing follows a demonstration on your own funds, and a free trial is available afterwards.
