🇪🇳 Bringing a complex investment portfolio into one view takes more than collecting reports
If you are a private investor or part of a family office, your investments are often spread across several asset managers and custodians. In addition, some investments may be held directly.
Each party reports on its own part of the portfolio. Information arrives in different formats, at different times, and with varying levels of detail.
Listed investments are usually relatively easy to follow. Private equity and other non-listed investments are not. Capital calls, distributions and periodic valuations follow a different logic than transactions in traded securities.
The first step is aggregation: bringing all this information into one place.
In practice, this often means collecting data from PDF reports, Excel files and various systems, and restructuring it into a usable format.
The next step is standardisation. Data from different sources is rarely directly comparable. Classifications, definitions and calculation methods need to be aligned before the information can be analysed consistently.
Only after aggregation and standardisation does consolidation become meaningful. At that point, the portfolio can be viewed as a whole, using the same structure, definitions and metrics throughout.
We have developed Compass to address this challenge in a structured way.
Compass is part of a broader service setup, where portfolio data is sourced and aggregated through established processes and collaboration with Nordic asset managers and custodians.
On top of this, Compass provides a consistent reporting layer: data is standardised into a unified structure and presented using the same definitions and logic across the entire portfolio.
This is what makes comparison possible and supports a reliable understanding of the portfolio as a whole.
Compass is part of Navigator Partners’ portfolio administration and reporting services, designed to support clarity and consistency in complex investment structures.
