Covercy is a Banking-Embedded Investment Management Platform built for commercial real estate investment firms. It offers automated distribution & capital call payment processing, an Investor Portal, and APY yielding checking accounts.
Cap IQ is well suited for analyzing security pricing and valuation, tracking stock performance over time, looking up comparable transactions, and analyzing valuations on an industry basis. The service is also well suited for charting and data analysis purposes.
Your customer service is the best part about Covercy. I love having a contact person that is responsive and helpful. Even if Covercy doesn't have a feature that we would like or need, we are always given workarounds or suggestions on alternative solutions. Our suggestions for portal improvements are always considered and being worked on by the development team. Covercy is working on improving the customer and investor experience
$3 Million in FDIC Insurance Account protection is unsurpassed and highly attractive to our project managers and investors.
The Onboarding of over 100 investors was simple and efficient using a spreadsheet import.
The Technical Staff was very helpful and supportive during our startup phase and handled project startup delays beautifully.
Covercy was able to handle member payouts that involved compilcated and varied bonus structures and 15 different income generating assets with varied investor contributors and we had great support in figuring out how to handle the profit distributions.
The Covercy Account Managers were highly professional and a pleasure to work with.
Our experience has been excellent so far. The only hiccup that we have had happen was when we were testing our signed document and signature process and the document wasn't initially sending. We figured out why it wasn't sending and were able to correct that issue in a very timely manner.
We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.
I believe that Covercy is the only solution that is currently allowing Real Estate firms to distribute funds to their investors directly through the platform. Also, both other solutions are pretty expensive compared to the reasonable pricing that Covercy has in place (function of a number of properties rather than AuM or other methods).
The ROI I can provide is for time management. It saves us at least 2 days' worth of work each quarter on capital distributions alone, and at least 30 minutes on each report distribution. Not to mention the amount of time it saves us on fielding client questions regarding their capital because they can just log in and see everything on their portal.
