Alternative and private market investing is no longer the exclusive domain of institutions and endowments. Individual investors and family offices now hold portfolios spanning real estate syndications, private equity funds, private credit vehicles, venture capital, and a range of other private market strategies. The capital committed, the complexity involved, and the analytical rigor required have grown accordingly.
The tools available to manage these portfolios have not kept pace.
The gap that existed
Generic portfolio trackers handle public market investments well. They pull brokerage data automatically, display real-time prices, calculate simple returns, and produce clean dashboards. For a portfolio of stocks, ETFs, and bonds, they work exactly as intended.
Alternative and private market investments break them. There is no price feed for a real estate syndication. XIRR — the return metric that actually matters for investments with irregular cash flows — does not exist in most consumer portfolio tools. Capital calls are not a concept they recognize. K-1s are invisible. NAV marks that arrive quarterly from a sponsor do not fit into frameworks built around daily market prices. Distribution history across multiple funds cannot be tracked. Concentration across asset classes, sponsors, and capital stack positions cannot be measured.
The workaround for most investors has been to manage these investments separately — in spreadsheets, in email folders, across investor portals that each show one fund in isolation. This works at low investment counts and breaks down as a portfolio grows. The picture of the overall portfolio — how it is performing, what it is concentrated in, what is coming in and going out — becomes harder to assemble and easier to lose track of.
Institutional-grade alternatives software exists, but it is built for asset managers, registered investment advisors, and fund administrators — not for the individual investor managing their own portfolio. The pricing, the complexity, and the workflow assumptions of these tools reflect their intended audience.
There was nothing purpose-built for the individual investor or family office who manages their own alternative and private market portfolio and wants real analytics to go with it.
That is what AltTrack is.
What purpose-built actually means
Purpose-built means XIRR is native — calculated correctly from the full transaction history of each investment, accounting for the timing of every capital call and distribution, without requiring the investor to build the formula themselves or understand the mechanics behind it.
It means DPI and TVPI are tracked per investment and across the portfolio — so you can see at a glance how much capital has actually been returned versus what remains at work, and how your total value compares to what you have invested.
It means capital call tracking is a first-class feature — not a workaround. Committed capital, funded capital, unfunded commitments, and projected future calls are tracked per investment so you always know your obligations and can plan your liquidity accordingly.
It means income tracking that reflects how private market distributions actually work — irregular, fund-specific, variable in timing and amount. AltTrack analyzes your distribution history per investment, projects future income by confidence tier, and gives you a forward-looking view of what your portfolio is likely to generate.
It means tax document tracking built around K-1 season — tracking expected receipt dates, received status, and document storage across every fund in your portfolio, so nothing gets lost and your CPA gets what they need without a reconstruction exercise every spring.
It means portfolio analytics that measure what alternative investors actually care about — concentration by asset class, by sponsor, by capital stack position, by tax status. Allocation targets that you set and track against. Performance reporting that gives you a portfolio-level view that no individual fund report can provide.
And it means AI-powered insights that analyze your specific portfolio — not generic financial advice, but observations and analysis grounded in your actual holdings, your actual returns, and your actual allocation.
Built for how alternative investments actually work
Every design decision in AltTrack reflects the mechanics of alternative and private market investing rather than the conventions of public market portfolio management.
NAV comes from the most recent sponsor mark, not a price feed. XIRR excludes reinvestments and fees that would distort the calculation. Distributions are categorized as income or return of capital. Capital calls reduce your remaining unfunded commitment. Investments can be active or exited, with exited investments retaining their full history. Fund structures, tax statuses, asset classes, and capital stack positions are all tracked as meaningful analytical dimensions — not afterthoughts.
The result is a portfolio view that reflects what you actually own and how it is actually performing — not a public-market framework applied awkwardly to investments it was never designed to handle.
Who AltTrack is for
AltTrack is built for individual investors and family offices who manage their own alternative and private market portfolios.
If you invest in real estate syndications, private equity funds, private credit vehicles, venture capital, or other private market strategies — and you want a clear picture of how your portfolio is performing, what it is concentrated in, and what is coming in — AltTrack is built for you.
It does not matter whether you are building your alternative portfolio or have been investing in private markets for years. The tool scales with your portfolio and grows more useful as your investment history deepens and your allocation becomes more complex.
A free tier is available for investors getting started. A Pro tier provides the full feature set — including tax document management, AI-powered portfolio insights, and advanced reporting — for investors who want the complete picture.
