BOSTON, June 23, 2020 — Cobalt Software Inc. (“Cobalt”), the private capital portfolio monitoring solution, and Alvarez & Marsal Valuation Services, LLC (“A&M”), the leading global professional services firm, have announced a new cooperative partnership designed to optimize their platforms for their shared clientele in the alternative asset management industry. The initiative is a critical step to creating internal efficiencies for General Partners looking to meet ever-increasing external and internal demands surrounding their portfolio data and reporting.

The partnership involves close collaboration between Cobalt’s team and A&M’s Alternative Investment Services team to identify clear opportunities for client referrals and project collaborations. The initiative will utilize A&M’s Fund Analytics & Reporting Service, headed by Senior Director Cole Corbin, and Cobalt’s existing database of leading private equity firm clients.

“Partnerships like the one we are announcing today with Cobalt are critical to delivering truly optimized solutions to a complex industry that is often bogged down by inefficiencies where there should be speed and accuracy,” said Mark McMahon, Valuation Services Global Practice Leader and Head of Alternative Investment Services at A&M. “We are looking forward to delivering even greater results for our clients, together.”
