Why investors switch to SyndTrack
Spreadsheets Break at Scale
Excel works fine for 3 deals. At 10+ deals across different sponsors, your XIRR formulas break, your data entry falls behind, and you're one missed row away from making a bad investment decision.
Less Time On Portfolio Upkeep
Founder workflow model for a 10-deal LP portfolio: 5.2 hours a month updating a spreadsheet, logging into sponsor portals and reconciling distributions, against an estimated 30 minutes reviewing parsed values. One self-reported portfolio, not a survey of LP investors.
XIRR From The Cash Flows You Review
Excel's =XIRR() function is only as good as the data you enter. SyndTrack's XIRR recalculates from the cash flows you review, accounting for the exact timing of every capital call and distribution.
