About FIS Private Capital Suite

What FIS Investran does well, and where it stops.

Built for: Large GPs and third-party administrators that need a battle-tested partnership accounting engine.

2025: relaunched as the cloud-native FIS Private Capital Suite, with investor onboarding, AI-assisted monitoring and a data exchange portal.

Strong at

Partnership accounting, allocations and waterfalls trusted by large firms and administrators.

Where it stops

Accounting-first. We found no deal CRM, valuation modeling, data rooms, K-1s or issuer cap tables.

Choose Privatis over FIS Investran if
  • 01You want the deal pipeline and data rooms on the same record as the fund ledger.
  • 02You want a valuation engine whose approved marks post straight to the GL.
  • 03You want K-1s and regulatory filing exports generated from the same books.
FIS Investran may suit you better if

You're a large administrator or GP whose priority is a long-established accounting engine, and you already run separate front-office and tax tools.

What one ledger changes

The same entry, everywhere it matters.

Every Privatis module posts to and reads from one general ledger. That's what makes these possible without an integration in between.

01

A signed commitment becomes a capital account

The LP CRM, the subscription documents and the general ledger are the same record, so nothing is re-keyed between fundraising and the books.

02

An approved mark posts to the GL

DCF, comps, LBO and option-pricing backsolves reconcile to one fair value. Approving it posts the journal entry that moves NAV, the Level 3 rollforward and every LP capital account.

03

Carry is computed from the books it's paid from

European, American and hybrid waterfalls, with catch-up and quarterly accrual, read the same capital and the same LPA terms the fee engine uses.

04

The K-1 ties to the financial statements

The 1065, K-1s and K-2/K-3s come from the same 704(b) capital as the GAAP statements and LP capital accounts. There's no hand-off to a separate tax file.

05

Filings start from the fund's own data

Form ADV, Form PF, FATCA, CRS and FBAR are produced as filing-ready exports from live holdings and capital, not re-keyed into a consultant's template.

06

The data room follows the deal into the portfolio

The target you diligenced becomes the portfolio company on the same record: data room, cap structure, KPIs, covenants and valuation history together.

07

AI that can read everything and change nothing on its own

AlphaBot works across deals, funds, credit and LP data, inside your information walls. Every change it suggests is a proposal that a person approves.
