Research technology and portfolio data systems for private investment groups

Six instruments, built by BHTM INVESTMENTS LLC, that turn scattered data and private research into a single disciplined nightly record. Everything below shares one data spine, so the note, the board, the risk panel and the investor letter stay in step.

Each service is scoped to the way a modest private group actually works: a handful of principals, a small research bench, real money and no time to babysit fragile tooling. The aim is not software for its own sake but a legible operating desk that outlasts any single staff member.

Portfolio Data Aggregation the collector line

Every private group whose assets sit across custodians, brokers and operating accounts faces the same cost: reconciliation built on trust and recollection. This system replaces that with a disciplined collector that draws positions, cash balances, valuation marks and fee lines from every source into one write-once record with a running tally of when each figure arrived and who changed it.

The collector does the quiet work so the group never argues about the number again. Orphan balances surface within the intake pass, duplicates collapse into a single position, and the trailing report shows exactly what reconciled, what waited and what still needs a human hand. For a group tired of building quarter-end spreadsheets from memory, this line is the whole answer.

  • One trusted ledger across custodians, brokers and bank accounts.
  • Intake validation that flags mismatches before they spread.
  • Immutable history of every position and every valuation mark.
  • Audit-friendly source tagging for every figure the group relies on.
PL-02

Research Note Management Systems the archive press

Private research lives or dies by the written record. A thesis argued from memory is worth a fraction of one pinned with its reasoning, its contradiction list and its follow-up triggers intact. This system gives research notes a structured home where a screener flag, a conference remark, a regulatory filing and a field call all land with context attached.

The archive is searchable in seconds and organised by sector, source or open trigger, so a principal can re-test an old idea against new facts without retracing a paper trail. Nothing important is ever lost in a drafts folder again, and no key insight depends on the one person who happened to remember it.

  • Structured thesis and diligence templates with mandatory sourcing.
  • Open-item triggers that resurface a note when new data arrives.
  • Role-aware views for research, risk and the principal desk.
PL-03

Deal Flow Tracking Platforms the pipeline board

A candidate asset should never disappear at the bottom of an inbox. This platform pins every live mandate to a clear board by stage: sourcing, initial screen, diligence, term sheet, committee and closing. Each card owns its originator, its owner, its next action and its date, so momentum is visible rather than assumed.

Because the platform feeds from the same research archive as everything else, a diligence note written for one deal flows directly onto that card with no extra typing. Committees see history, owners and open questions in a single view, and the group always knows which promises are still waiting on attention.

  • Stage-driven boards with named owners and dated next actions.
  • Full audit log of every move a deal makes through the pipeline.
  • Direct linkage into the research note and risk snapshots.
PL-04

Risk Snapshot Dashboards the panic-free panel

Risk is not a separate annual chore; it is a standing condition of holding concentrated portfolios. This set of tight panels keeps the danger lines in plain sight: single-name concentration, sector crowding, liquidity cushion, currency drift and covenant headroom, each one judged against limits the group set itself.

The value is in the delta. Rather than a wall of static numbers, the snapshot answers the question that matters: what moved since the last observation and does it break an agreed line? The principal gets a defensible basis for the day call instead of a lingering unease about what might be hiding.

  • Limit-aware panels for concentration, liquidity and leverage.
  • Nightly delta view showing what actually changed.
  • One-click drill-down from any figure to its underlying positions.
PL-05

Investor Letter Automation the clean dispatch

Quarterly and annual letters are where small groups are judged, even when the message is routine. This system drafts those letters from the same trusted record the group runs on every day, so the performance narrative and the position commentary never contradict the figures the books actually show.

Drafting, review and version control run on one heartbeat with named approvers and a changelog, meaning the team sends a consistent record to the membership on schedule without a last-night scramble. The letter stops being a monthly ordeal and becomes the natural printout of a well-kept log.

  • Letters assembled from the trusted portfolio record.
  • Named review chain with a full version trail before dispatch.
  • Scheduled delivery with a permanent sent archive.
PL-06

Market Data Pipeline Integration the steady intake

A private group still reads a public tape every day, for marks, for comparables and for macro context. This integration layer wires public price, index and macro feeds into the private record with repeatable ingestion: a steady cadence, a visible refresh schedule and a source lineage that survives inspection.

Every figure that reaches a report can be traced back to the exact feed and moment it was captured. Quality checks run at intake so a bad tick does not quietly corrupt a whole model, and the group never rebuilds an index by hand again.

  • Scripted ingestion for price, index and macro sources.
  • Lineage and refresh metadata stored with every series.
  • Intake quality checks that quarantine suspect values.

How an engagement is assembled

Every build starts with the same careful survey and moves forward in phases a small group can absorb without stopping its own work.

Step 01

Assess

We map the data already in hand, the cadence the group runs and the reports its members actually owe.

Step 02

Assemble

Aggregation lines, the note archive and the first dashboard are stood up against the live record.

Step 03

Train

The bench learns to run the discipline: intake, note custody, board ownership and the nightly recheck.

Step 04

Run

The desk stays staffed, coverage continues without gaps and the record matures with every cycle.
