## About this dashboard

The PE Fund Dashboard brings fund-level cash flow and investor economics into one view. It surfaces capital calls, investment deployment, realized distributions, management fees, and the outputs LPs and GPs use to assess performance: TVPI, DPI, RVPI, net IRR, and portfolio-company IRR and MOIC.

The supporting workbook includes GP and LP waterfall logic with preferred return, catch-up, and carried interest, plus schedules for calls and distributions across the fund life. Fee assumptions include recycling and offset options. Portfolio-company tracking feeds aggregation into fund-level return measures, while the cash flow schedule makes the J-curve visible through the investment period and realizations.

Use the dashboard for fund formation analysis, fee and waterfall scenario review, LP reporting, and lifecycle planning. It supports fund-level aggregation where a deal model would be too narrow. Return outputs depend on capital, fee, distribution, portfolio, and waterfall assumptions, including the selected carried-interest mechanics.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does the PE Fund Dashboard show?

It shows fund-level capital calls, investment deployment, realized distributions, management fees, and return measures including TVPI, DPI, RVPI, and net IRR. Portfolio-company IRR and MOIC provide supporting detail for the aggregated fund view.

### What waterfall mechanics are included?

The workbook includes GP and LP waterfall logic with a preferred return, catch-up, and carried interest. Resulting allocations flow into fund cash-flow and investor-return outputs under the selected waterfall assumptions.

### How are fees represented?

Management fee logic includes recycling and offset options. These assumptions affect cash available for investment and the economics shown in fund-level schedules, so fee terms can be reviewed alongside calls, deployment, distributions, and LP returns.

### What is the J-curve view used for?

The capital call and distribution schedule provides visibility into the J-curve: early fund cash flows reflect investment and fee outflows, while later realizations and distributions shape the return profile. The dashboard reviews that lifecycle pattern at fund level.

### Is this a deal-level LBO model?

No. It is a fund-level framework that aggregates portfolio activity and reports GP and LP economics across the fund life. Use a deal-level model for a single acquisition’s operating case, financing, and exit mechanics.
