Home/Roles & Responsibilities

Ten institutional teams, one system of record

DEALWISE models the private market investment organisation out of the box, with built-in role and responsibility based controls.

Deal Origination Team

Responsible for sourcing and generating potential investment opportunities.

Registers opportunities with source, sponsor, sector, geography and indicative size; maintains the origination pipeline and conversion analytics.

Due Diligence Team

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

Runs commercial, financial, legal, tax, technical and ESG workstreams with findings, severity ratings and remediation tracked to closure.

Investment Committee

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

Receives papers generated from live deal data, records decisions, conditions and rationale, and enforces the Delegation of Authority.

Valuation and Structuring Team

Determines the value of the investment and structures the deal terms.

Maintains valuation methods, scenarios and sensitivities; defines instrument mix, shareholder rights and the covenant package.

Transaction Execution Team

Executes the final investment transaction.

Manages signing, conditions precedent, funds flow, completion accounts and post-completion obligations.

SPV Management Team

Manages the SPV used for the investment to isolate risks and manage assets.

Holds the entity register, ownership chain, statutory calendar and inter-company positions for every special purpose vehicle.

Portfolio / Asset Management Team

Responsible for the ongoing management and optimisation of the investment portfolio.

Tracks financial and operational performance, asset updates, board reporting cadence, valuations and risk ratings.

Compliance and Risk Management Team

Ensures that all investments comply with legal, regulatory and internal risk management standards.

Owns the risk register, covenant monitoring, policy exceptions, GRC configuration and regulator-ready evidence packs.

Reporting and Investor Relations Team

Handles communication and reporting to investors and other stakeholders.

Produces board, LP and regulator reporting from a single reconciled data set, with a full audit log behind every figure.

Exit Strategy Team

Manages the process of exiting an investment to realise returns.

Assesses exit readiness, runs divestment workstreams and reconciles realised proceeds against the original underwriting case.

Access control

Each team sees what its mandate requires

Role-based permissions

Permissions are granted to roles, roles to user groups, and user groups to people, so a change to the operating model takes one configuration change instead of a hundred user edits.

Delegation of Authority

Approval thresholds by deal size, portfolio, instrument and transaction type, with named delegates, validity dates and automatic escalation.

Deal-level access requests

Sensitive live deals can be restricted to the named deal team, with time-bound access requests approved and logged.
