Investment Performance Reporting Software
Performance, Risk and Attribution With Peer Context

A return without context is just a number. AlternativeSoft reports performance against the peers that matter, attributes it by manager and factor, measures the risk behind it and keeps private and liquid holdings in one pack, from templates, on a schedule, with every figure traceable.

Last updated 30 October 2026.

In short

AlternativeSoft's investment performance reporting software produces performance, risk and attribution reports for funds and multi-manager portfolios from one database, on 4,000+ statistics, with peer comparison built in. Institutional investors use it to report manager and portfolio performance to committees and boards; fund managers use it to report to investors; both use the same templates, the same audit trail and the same Power BI and Excel connections.

Why AlternativeSoft

Performance reporting on an allocator's database

The context that makes a performance figure meaningful is already in the system.

Peer context in every report

Any fund's return is shown against its true peer group, not a broad index, so the committee sees whether 8% was good.

Factor and style attribution

Separate alpha from beta and show what drove the result, with up to 200 factors.

Style and factor analysis

Private and liquid together

Private equity and credit cash flows sit beside hedge fund and public fund returns on one consistent basis.

Integrating private and liquid funds

Scheduled and templated

Month-end runs from templates; the pack is ready in hours, not weeks.

Automated reporting

Interactive or PDF

Committee members open a FluidView link and drill into any figure, or receive the PDF.

How to choose investment performance reporting software

Insist on peer context

A return against an index is not enough for a manager decision. Ask whether the tool holds a fund universe to compare against.

Check attribution depth

Manager, factor, sector and style, and selection versus allocation, not just contribution by holding.

Ask how private markets are handled

IRR and TVPI should sit in the same portfolio report as monthly returns, not in a separate spreadsheet.

Verify the audit trail

Committee and regulator questions need every figure traceable to a calculation and a data vintage.

Test the month-end

Have the vendor run your pack on your data and time it.

Confirm the outputs

PDF, interactive link, Power BI and Excel, per recipient.

Run Your Performance Pack on the Platform

Bring the committee pack you produced last quarter. We will rebuild it as a template, run it on your portfolio and show the peer context your current version is missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

What is investment performance reporting software?

Software that calculates and presents the performance, risk and attribution of funds and portfolios in regular reports for committees, boards, clients and investors. AlternativeSoft produces these from one database of 500,000+ funds on 4,000+ statistics, with peer comparison and attribution built in.

How is it different from fund accounting performance?

Accounting performance is the official return calculated from the ledger. Investment performance reporting takes that return and explains it: Against benchmark and peers, by manager and factor, with risk measures and changes over time. AlternativeSoft imports the accounting return and produces the analysis.

What attribution does AlternativeSoft provide?

Return and risk attribution by manager, asset class, factor, sector and style, including selection versus allocation effects, with up to 200 factors in the model.

Can it report hedge funds, private equity and public funds in one pack?

Yes. Private markets cash flows, IRR, TVPI and DPI sit beside monthly returns from hedge funds, mutual funds and ETFs in one portfolio report on a consistent basis.

Does every report include peer comparison?

It can. Any fund in a report can be shown against its true peer group on any statistic, which turns a return into a judgement the committee can act on.

Is the reporting auditable?

Yes. Every figure in every report traces to a timestamped calculation and the data vintage it used, which answers committee, auditor and regulator questions.

What formats are available?

PDF, interactive FluidView dashboards shared by URL, Power BI through the connector, and Excel through the API or batch export.

Who uses AlternativeSoft performance reporting?

Pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, fund of funds, consultants, wealth managers and the hedge fund and asset managers that report to them, as part of 150+ institutional clients managing over $1.5tn.
