Investor Reporting

The definition of investor reporting is the act of sharing key qualitative


and quantitative data with your financial investors. Investor reporting
can look different for different companies, depending on the company
stage and vertical. A pre-revenue company may share a light,
qualitative investor report, while a publicly traded company is
obliged to share an in-depth report covering everything from executive
compensation to granular financials. 

Asset Management
 Asset management refers to the management of investments on behalf of
others.
 The goal is to grow a client's portfolio over time while mitigating risk.
 Asset management is a service offered by financial institutions catering to
high net-worth individuals, government entities, corporations and financial
intermediaries.
The role of an asset manager consists of determining what investments to make,
or avoid, that will grow a client's portfolio. Rigorous research is conducted
utilizing both macro and micro analytical tools. This includes statistical analysis of
the prevailing market trends, interviews with company officials, and anything
else that would aid in achieving the stated goal of client asset appreciation. Most
commonly, the advisor will invest in products such as equity, fixed income, real
estate, commodities, alternative investments and mutual funds.

Nominal Cash Flow vs. Real Cash Flow


Nominal cash flow refers to the actual dollar amount of money that a
company expects to take in and pay out, without any adjustment
for inflation. This is useful for anticipating future revenue and
expenses. For example, if a company wants to project how much it
will be spending on office rent during the next decade, it could
take the dollar amount of its rent, and use the average annual rent
increase to project how much it will spend in subsequent years.
On the other hand, real cash flow is adjusted for inflation in order
to reflect the change in the value of money over time. Because
inflation can vary significantly from year to year.

Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies IV (“BREDS IV”). BREDS
IV has $8.0 billion of total capital commitments, making it the
largest real estate credit fund ever raised.
Blackstone Real Estate Debt Strategies has $26 billion of assets
under management, and Blackstone Real Estate has a total of
$167 billion of investor capital under management as of the

Understanding NAV and fair market value(fmv)
The net asset value of a fund is a simple concept to understand. If you add up the total
value of a fund's assets and divide it by the number of shares outstanding, you'll get the
fund's net asset value per share. In rare cases, it might be difficult to determine a fixed
value for a particular asset that a fund holds, but generally, figuring out the NAV of a
fund is a trivial exercise that professional traders do constantly throughout the trading
day.

By contrast, market value is determined by traders in the financial markets. Ordinarily,


market participants take their cues from the actual value of a fund's assets, so you won't
find a big disparity between NAV and market value. Moreover, with most ETFs allowing
institutional investors to buy or sell large blocks of ETF shares at or near net asset value,
there would be ample opportunity for arbitrage if the market value were too far
removed from NAV.
