The value proposition

Turning deal and asset chaos into a single, trusted source of truth

Without an integrated deal and asset management system, institutional investors face structural limitations in transparency, control, scalability and risk management.

Tracks every deal and asset in one place

One record per opportunity, carried across all ten lifecycle stages, with documents, decisions, valuations and performance attached to it.

Eliminates manual reporting and data inconsistency

Board packs, LP reports and regulator submissions are generated from live data, so every number reconciles across every output.

Improves decision-making with real-time visibility

Senior management sees pipeline health, exposure, covenant status and risk ratings as they change, without waiting for the quarter-end pack.

Reduces operational risk and missed opportunities

Structured workflows, delegated authority and immutable audit logs replace inbox approvals and personal spreadsheets.

The problem we solve

As private market allocations grow, manual processes become a constraint

A constraint on performance, governance and institutional resilience. These are the limitations investment offices tell us about most often.

1

Fragmented deal information across emails, Excel files and teams

2

Limited visibility for senior management into pipeline health and progress

3

High dependency on individuals to track deal history and rationale

4

Limited audit trail of decisions, approvals and changes

5

Knowledge loss when team members leave

6

Challenges in supporting audit and regulator reviews

7

Time-consuming report production cycles

8

Inconsistent data across reports

Roles and responsibilities

Responsible for sourcing and generating potential investment opportunities.

Due Diligence Team

Conducts in-depth analysis to evaluate the viability and risks associated with the investment.

Investment Committee

The decision-making body that approves or rejects investment opportunities.

Governance by design

Aligned to the frameworks you are measured against

DEALWISE is designed around ILPA Principles, the PMI framework, COSO, ISO 31000 and ISO 27001, so evidence for internal audit, external audit and the regulator can be produced as a standard report.

  • Immutable audit log of decisions, approvals and changes
  • Delegation of Authority matrix with thresholds and escalation
  • Document version history with permissioned access
  • SSO, MFA and granular role-based permissions

Frequently asked

Questions investment offices ask us first

Can DEALWISE follow our own deal flow rather than a standard one?
Yes. DEALWISE has a built-in ideal deal flow, however it can be customised based on your organisation's Delegation of Authority and portfolio needs. Stage names, gate criteria, mandatory evidence, approval thresholds and escalation paths are all configurable.
Which asset classes does the platform support?
Private equity direct investments, private equity funds, private debt, real estate and infrastructure. Each is configured as its own portfolio with its own stages, masters and reporting pack, while rolling up into a single institutional view.
How does DEALWISE integrate with our finance systems?
Through secure REST APIs, scheduled data jobs and event webhooks. Standard integration patterns cover treasury, accounting and cash management systems, auditing and GRC solutions, and cybersecurity tooling.
What happens to the knowledge we already hold in spreadsheets?
Historic pipeline, valuations, documents and decision records are migrated during implementation, so the platform starts with your existing institutional memory in place.
