Family Office & Private Wealth Management: What You Need to Know About the Digital K-1™
BY Scott Turner
September 1
For years, the legacy K-1 reporting process has been a headache for both family offices and private wealth managers. The absence of standardized reporting, coupled with limited time and a myriad of entities that all have varying needs, has created a complex, burdensome K-1 process. Moreover, the tiered partnership structure has further exacerbated the issue, making the distribution of K-1 forms feel like a giant game of telephone.
“How much of your ROI is eaten by your legacy K-1 proces?”
In this blog, we discuss this “K-1 Perfect Storm” and how it has provoked the need for a comprehensive digital ecosystem to streamline alternative investment reporting.
The Perfect Storm
The Frustrations of Limited Partners
Limited partners are increasingly frustrated with the opaque black box approach to K-1 reporting. They are eager for speed and transparency, yet there is much uncertainty surrounding the management of reporting portals, the content they will receive, the timeline for final packet arrivals, and the manner of data provision.
Overall, the entire process is too complex, creating significant inefficiencies. Annually, a shocking 136 million hours and approximately $27 billion are wasted on K-1s. Compounded by ever-changing regulatory demands, investor dissatisfaction, compressed timelines, historical staffing constraints, a surge in alternative investments, and disparate technology, the market is thirsty for a solution.
