For financial advisors, private wealth advisors, and institutional investors, alternative asset reporting remains one of wealth management's most complex, time-consuming, and error-prone processes.
Unlike traditional investments such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), alternative investment products (private equity funds, hedge funds, private credit, structured investments, real estate, and more) are illiquid, lack standardized data feeds, and require manual solutions for accurate reporting.
"We were struggling to consolidate all the information in one place, to not only integrate financial assets, but the other types of assets families have. Masttro pulls all the information together, no matter the jurisdiction, no matter the entity or structure." — Alejandro Bazúa, Founder
Without a centralized, automated solution, investment managers must navigate numerous online fund manager portals, individually request valuation statements, manually reconcile capital calls and distributions, and then compile reports for these various alternative investment vehicles as a separate task.
Where private investment funds have no portal, advisors rely on emailed PDFs, which must be processed manually.
It’s an inefficient and fragmented approach that leads to:
- Delayed, outdated reporting that prevents agile investment decisions in private markets just the same as in public markets.
- Data silos and duplication that make it hard to track exposure across multiple legal entities and alternative asset classes.
- Non-standardized, inconsistent formatting that requires significant effort to process and integrate alternative asset allocations into investment portfolios.
- Elevated capital costs and operational risk that forces financial advisors and firm and fund financial reporting teams to dedicate resources to reconciliation instead of more worthwhile investment management activities.
As alternative investment strategies continue to grow, wealth tech solutions have evolved to meet these needs and automate reporting, improve transaction processing, and ensure compliance with regulations - while supporting informed investment decisions and precise reporting throughout.

How Masttro Solves Alternative Asset Reporting Challenges
Masttro sets a new standard in alternative asset reporting by offering a comprehensive AI-powered wealth management software solution that aggregates all investment data, automatically extracts and processes data from documents, and delivers full visibility on all alternative investments.
Together with over 600 direct custodian feeds, Masttro transforms the traditional complexities of consolidating all asset types into clarity, delivering a singular, real-time portfolio view that enhances investment objectives, enables portfolio diversification, and supports strategic financial insights.
Aggregating and Normalizing Alternative Asset Data
Wealth managers, investment advisors, and Chief Investment Officers all face a constant challenge to consolidate data from global portfolios that have an increasingly larger allocation to alternative investments. And unlike publicly traded assets, managing the data for these private equity funds, private credit allocations, and other alternative investments is a far more time-consuming process.
Masttro solves this by:
- Directly integrating with more than 600 global custodians, ensuring accurate real-time data retrieval without relying on third-party intermediaries.
- Using an AI-powered document management module that extracts and processes key figures from PDF statements, capital calls, structured investments, and distribution notices, eliminating manual reconciliation.
- Consolidating data across all alternative asset classes into a single, real-time point of view, allowing wealth advisors to easily evaluate investment allocations, return potential, and degree of risk across all assets under management.
Using Masttro’s wealth management platform, investment managers gain live insights into the full asset spectrum, including fractional ownership platforms and alternative investments.
Real-Time Cash Flow Visibility and Liquidity Management
Managing cash flow modeling, capital accumulation, and capital appreciation is critical for alternative funds. Many investment strategies require precise liquidity planning to fund:
- Private equity commitments and private investment funds.
- Alternative investment vehicles, capital calls, and debt servicing costs.
- Broker-dealer transactions and foreign exchange transactions.
Masttro provides:
- Automated tracking of capital calls, distributions, and cash balances, ensuring a flexible solution for liquidity management.
- Real-time forecasting and scenario analysis, enabling investment managers to anticipate elevated capital costs, economic volatility, and distressed debt impacts.
- Custom reports for private banks, and fund performance reports that allow optimal allocation for clients.
With Masttro’s comprehensive data management solution, wealth managers can quickly answer investor questions that previously required manual reporting processes:
- Do we have enough liquidity to fund a new investment opportunity?
- What are the potential risks of reallocating capital in volatile market conditions?
- How do private markets compare to public companies in our investment strategy?
