Private investments such as venture capital, hedge funds, and private equity make up roughly 25% of the investment universe. Traditionally, investors, advisors, banks, families, and managers track hundreds of investments in complicated spreadsheets, file folders, and busy inboxes. Not only is this tedious and time-consuming, but it is rife with opportunities for manual data entry errors, inconsistent reporting, and lost information. Enter Arch.
