EquityMultiple Asset Management Reporting Protocol
EquityMultiple takes an active approach in managing all investments on behalf of our investors and strongly believes in maintaining high-quality, transparent investor communications. Whether you’re new to our platform or an existing member, it’s important to understand our internal processes for tracking the progress of each investment and creating periodic reports. As detailed here, our Asset Management team actively monitors each investment from inception to realization through frequent and detailed analyses of asset performance and market trends. These analyses may include shifts in demand drivers, comparables analysis, new supply, and legislative or zoning changes. Additionally, we regularly engage with sponsors, maintaining an open line of communication and developing dynamic asset strategies to counter asset and market variables.
Reporting Protocols
In the interest of transparency, we would like to share EquityMultiple’s reporting protocols, with investors. As part of our partnership agreements, we typically require sponsors to report on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the investment.
Our asset managers utilize the following guidelines:
Monthly Reporting
- Required for investments with strategies that inherently carry higher risk – ground-up development projects, capital-intensive renovations, or assets with significant underperformance vs. underwriting
- Required from Sponsors 30 days after the end of each calendar month
- Reporting frequency will moderate as the asset reaches stabilization or underperformance is substantially improved.
Quarterly Reporting
- Required for investments involving low levels of value-add improvements or stabilized and cash-flowing assets
- Required from Sponsors 30-45 days after the end of each quarter or 60 days after the end of the reporting year
Please note that EquityMultiple may require additional time to review if sponsor reports are submitted at the end of the reporting deadline or if discrepancies requiring clarification are found. In this event, EquityMultiple will keep investors informed as to when they should expect the reports.
