Help using AltTrack

Start by adding each investment you want to track. Then enter the key transactions you know: contributions, capital calls, distributions, return of capital, NAV overrides, and any exits. You do not need a perfect historical record on day one. Start with the most important data, then add more detail as statements and records become available.

Go to the Investments page and click “Add Investment.” Enter the investment name, sponsor, asset class, investment type, tax status, and other details. If the investment has capital calls, enter the total commitment so AltTrack can track funded and unfunded amounts.

Each fund, syndication, or deal is one investment. Multiple capital calls, distributions, NAV marks, tax documents, and other activity for that same fund should be entered as transactions or records under that investment.

Yes. AltTrack is designed to be built up over time. You can start with basic investment records, then add transaction history, NAV marks, tax documents, target returns, tags, and projected capital calls as you go.

Open the investment, add a transaction, and enter the contribution amount. If the contribution was made in response to a capital call, mark it as a capital call. AltTrack will use it to track funded capital, remaining commitment, cash flow, and performance.

Open the investment, add a transaction, and enter the amount in the Income field. Income generally represents interest, dividends, preferred returns, or profit distributions paid by the investment.

Income is profit, interest, or other investment income paid out to you. Return of Capital is your original principal being returned. Return of Capital is not profit, but it is still a cash distribution and affects DPI, capital returned, and remaining exposure.

Enter the distribution amount as Income and enter the same amount as Reinvestment. This tells AltTrack that the investment paid a distribution but immediately reinvested it, so no net cash reached your bank account.

A NAV Override is the current value reported by the sponsor on a statement. When you receive an official quarterly or annual valuation, enter that value as a NAV Override on the statement date. AltTrack uses it as the current value and adjusts from there based on later activity.

Update NAV whenever you receive a new official value from the sponsor. For many private investments, that may be quarterly or annually. Keeping NAV current improves XIRR, TVPI, allocation, concentration, and portfolio value calculations.

XIRR is an annualized return that accounts for the timing of each cash flow. Contributions are treated as money out, distributions are treated as money in, and current NAV is included as a final value for active investments. See the Methodology page for full details.

XIRR requires enough cash flow information to calculate a return. If an investment only has contributions and no distributions, exits, or NAV value, there may not be enough data yet. Add a current NAV override or later cash flow when available.

TVPI, or Total Value to Paid-In Capital, compares total value to contributed capital. It generally includes current NAV plus distributions, divided by paid-in capital. It helps show total value created, including both realized and unrealized value.

DPI, or Distributions to Paid-In Capital, compares distributions received to contributed capital. It helps show how much capital has actually come back from the investment.

TTM Yield looks at income received during the trailing 12 months relative to current NAV. Annualized Yield looks at income over the life of the investment, annualizes it, and compares it to current NAV. TTM is more current; annualized yield is a longer-term view.

The green, amber, or red indicator compares the investment’s XIRR to your target return. Green means at or above target, amber means somewhat below target, and red means meaningfully below target. You can set the target XIRR when adding or editing an investment.

AltTrack uses your transaction history to identify distribution patterns and expected timing. It can help show which investments are on schedule, due soon, late, awaiting a pattern, or irregular.

Income projections are based on historical income behavior and expected distribution timing. They are estimates, not guarantees, and should be reviewed alongside sponsor communications and your own judgment.

When adding or editing an investment, enter the total commitment. As you enter contributions and capital calls, AltTrack tracks what has been funded and what remains unfunded.

Yes. If you have expected timing or amounts for future calls, enter them so AltTrack can show a forward-looking commitment timeline and help with liquidity planning.

Private investments often require future funding. Tracking outstanding commitments helps you understand not only what you own today, but what you may still need to fund in the future.

Yes. Go to the Import page, download the template, add your investments and transactions, and upload the file. AltTrack will preview the data and flag issues before importing.

AltTrack includes reports for investment lists, allocation, transaction history, performance by period, tax documents, and family summaries. Reports can be printed to PDF or shared with people who need the information.

Go to Settings and open Portfolio Access. Enter the person’s email address and send an invitation. They will receive read-only access after accepting and signing in with that email address.

No. Shared access is read-only. Viewers can see the portfolio information you allow them to see, but they cannot add, change, or delete investments or transactions.

Use the Tax section to track expected, received, missing, and stored tax documents by investment and tax year. You can set expected dates and upload documents where supported.

Yes. Your data is private to your account and authorized viewers. AltTrack does not sell your data, does not use it for advertising, and does not run an ad-supported business model.

Yes. Your data belongs to you. You can delete investments or contact support for help with account-level data questions.

No. Most private investment data does not come through reliable real-time feeds. Sponsors send statements, tax documents, distribution notices, and capital call notices on their own schedule. AltTrack is built around entering or importing that information when it arrives.

Manual entry or import gives you control and accuracy. Private investment data often requires interpretation — income versus return of capital, NAV marks, reinvestments, capital calls, and tax documents. AltTrack helps organize and calculate from the information you provide.
