Challenge. Assets are valued several times a year by valuers and directors. Valuers vary, and so do their output formats, which GP teams have to manually collate, standardise, and process in Excel for period analysis and reporting. This works for a smaller portfolio in a single currency, but is cumbersome, time-consuming, and error-prone for a larger one.
Solution. Teams now upload and instantly roll up asset valuations into portfolios, gaining a complete, accurate, and harmonised view of processed metrics and like-for-like period comps. Effort, complexity, and errors are minimised, while data is securely stored for analysis, record-keeping, and ready access.
​Challenge. GPs typically manage debt through a dedicated system, run directly or through a service provider. These systems do their job, but they're rarely connected to live asset and portfolio data, which limits their usefulness for portfolio management and finance teams trying to see the full picture.
Solution. Lateral integrates with your debt system to present facilities, hedges, lenders, borrowers, terms and balances in the context of live asset and portfolio information. Alternatively, track and consolidate these in Lateral itself. Either way, your teams get a complete, consistent view of all debt information.
Debt Register
Challenge. Even where lease data is properly stored in a property or lease management system, getting it out for analysis is a chore. Various teams need tenancy data constantly, but getting it usually means going through a dedicated source to extract and prepare it, with the effort and lag that involves. Result? Wait or manually rebuild what's needed in Excel.
Solution. Teams now have direct access to lease terms, rent roll and renewal assumptions, all readily presented for analysis. No requests, no lag, no waiting on someone else to pull the data. Works alongside your existing system and is live within a couple of weeks, so the data that's already there becomes available to the teams that immediately need it.
Tenancy Register
Challenge. With mandates varying across vehicles, Excel remains the quickest and easiest option for tracking investment performance. But with returns and fee calculations under constant investor scrutiny, moving to a proper system makes sense - as long as it doesn't mean adopting an entire investment management platform, and the tool itself can be configured to match each mandate.
Solution. Investment returns - levered / unlevered, income / capital, pre / post-fees, carry, and tax, across past / forecast periods. Fees / costs, debt and hedging performance metrics. Configured to match each mandate, with no need to adopt an entire platform - use it standalone, or link it to other registers and systems.
Performance Register
TRACK. CONSOLIDATE. REPORT.
Consolidates asset cashflows, capex, and valuations across portfolios. Models debt, hedging, equity, fees, costs, and FX, combining vehicles and converting currencies and area units as needed. Forecasts and tracks returns, yields, distributions, cashflows, values, and covenants. Measures the impacts of movement in variables, investments and divestments.
Fund & Portfolio Model
Covers stable assets, developments, and acquisitions - modelling rents, expenses, vacancy, capex, and cashflows through to valuation (DCF, CapVal, Book). Models debt, equity, fees, and costs alongside sensitivity and scenario analysis, evaluating both forecast and historical performance.
Asset Model
MODEL. PLAN. ANALYSE.
Model Integration
Every level rolls up into the next - leases into assets, assets into funds and portfolios, funds into a fund of funds or group - with equity, debt, hedging, costs, FX, and structure applied at the right level throughout. Models work as standalone or fully integrated tools, with changes reflected instantly across every level. Clients can adopt progressively or all at once.
As required, we assist with financial modelling, data uploading, cleansing, and updating. Some of these services are included with a corporate license at no additional charge, subject to terms and conditions.
Operational Assistance
We customise existing solutions or build new ones to your specification. Our platform is designed to adapt easily to new uses, so turnaround is quick, pricing is cost-effective, and upfront capital outlay is minimised.
Module Development
As clients increasingly use AI to build their own tools, we strengthen system controls, security, and compliance to meet enterprise standards - supporting broader team adoption, with the assurance management needs.
