ZEDRA partners with Cascata Solutions to deliver Smart Waterfall Automation

Cascata Solutions, the leading digital waterfall fund administration software provider, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with ZEDRA, an industry recognized provider of Global Expansion and Corporate Services, Active Wealth, Pensions & Incentives, and Fund Solutions.
 
The partnership highlights ZEDRA’s leadership position to deliver greater client value through “smart waterfall automation” leveraging the Cascata Platform for carried interest and fee administration to their private equity, private credit, venture capital and real estate clients.

Distribution waterfall is the single most important responsibility for a fund administrator as it is the alignment of the interests of investors with the general partner and, transparency of profits and performance incentives for a job well done. Yet, such calculations bring high risk because of the
industry’s modus operandi based on key personnel dependency, manual and time-consuming processes and Excel work that is error-prone amid an ever-changing regulatory landscape e.g., the recent SEC private fund advisor reform.

“Our partnership with Cascata marks another major milestone in our global fund solutions expansion and delivery of tailored, value-add services leveraging our multi-disciplinary expertise and smart automation for our alternative investment manager clients”, says Maarten Robberts, ZEDRA Managing Director.

He continues to say, “with the Cascata Platform’s standardized accounting best practices and full formula transparency, our staff no longer manages independent Excel spreadsheets, and are delivering a digital client experience with higher quality of service and assurance on the accuracy of reported carried interest and fees”.

“Cascata has solved the shortcomings of other waterfall vendor solutions and delivers the most crucial functionality for fund accountants’ production operation and 100% self-administration. As a result, our clients have elevated their operating standard well-above Excel and are achieving 40% or more efficiency gains”, says Charles Dooley, Cascata CEO.
