Fund of funds are complicated structures. Capital activity involves complicated workflows.
So how can managers of Fund of Funds properly handle their capital?
Carta serves the private equity ecosystem by providing a robust fund administration platform. Fund managers log all of their fund’s activity on Carta and we help them keep track of performance, cash movement, and accounting.
However, there’s a special type of fund called a “Fund of Funds” — a fund that invests in other funds — and Carta had more trouble helping them, since the platform was not originally built around the way they operate.
But in Q1 2026, Carta decided to change that. We launched an updated product suite specifically for Fund of Funds — and I had the opportunity to design the updated capital activity dashboard as a product design intern.
