Fund portfolios are now part of the new investor management suite in Clockwork Universe. With this type of portfolio, you gain the ability to include investors in a regular investment portfolio and keep track of each investor's position within the portfolio. Additionally, you can monitor their commitments and pro-rata valuation in relation to the fair market value of the portfolio.
Creating a New Fund Portfolio
To create a new fund portfolio, navigate to the Investments tab in the left-hand gutter menu. Previews of previously created Pipeline, Invest portfolios, or Fund Portfolios will appear here, as shown below. This guide will explore the creation and management of Fund portfolios. If you wish to explore Pipeline or Invest portfolios, you can refer to our other guides: Create and Manage Pipeline Portfolios and Create and Manage Invest Portfolios
To create a new portfolio, click the "+ New Portfolio" button located below the portfolios. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to select the portfolio type, title, and the companies that will comprise your portfolio.
Note: You can leave the company section blank at this stage, since you can always add companies to the portfolio at a later stage. You can always change the portfolio name in the future.
The main difference between Invest portfolios and Fund portfolios, is the addition of the Investors Tab at the top of the portfolio page.
