Problem
Private capital funds often face significant currency and interest‑rate exposure that can erode returns, yet they lack dedicated tools and expertise to quantify, monitor, and hedge these risks efficiently. Additionally, managing fund‑level financing, covenant compliance, and real‑time borrowing‑base calculations requires specialized advisory and technology that many managers do not have in‑house.
Solution
Validus provides a suite of risk‑management and fund‑finance services tailored to private equity, credit, infrastructure, real‑estate, and secondaries funds. Using its proprietary Horizon platform, the firm quantifies FX and interest‑rate impacts on portfolio performance, designs customized hedging programs, and executes derivative trades across multiple banks with best‑execution pricing. The platform also offers real‑time borrowing‑base analytics, covenant monitoring, and end‑to‑end fund‑finance advisory, from facility structuring to ongoing debt management. Event‑driven hedging support protects deal economics during acquisitions, exits, and refinancings, delivering rapid execution backed by deep market expertise. All services are integrated through purpose‑built technology that provides transparent reporting, regulatory compliance support, and AI‑driven benchmarking data.
