“I work in Backstop 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is our document database and main data depository. It provides us with the tools we use on a daily basis to both analyze and house our data and all the documents that we receive. Besides ease of use, ease of reporting, and ease of viewing, the Backstop Support people are top of class.”

“By using Backstop, our managers can easily access financial information and analysis anytime when making investment decisions.”

“Follow up very responsive and creative with solutions. Client focused.”

“We can send out an email to our accountants and know they’re not going to see everything in the world. They’re just going to see what you told them they should see. It is genius.”

“Great system and very easy to access. Very powerful tool for Investor Relations and Marketing purposes."

“We are able to connect relationships, understand who the players are, and manage meetings and communications. The system and the tools Backstop has provided to us are second to none in that regard.”

“With multiple PMs, we saw the benefit of having a centralized solution for investor management from the start. The system was very easy for everyone to get. There was no intensive training time, and we really appreciate all the help we got from the Backstop team as we were starting out. They were able to show us how intuitive data entry is in Backstop, and now we log everything! Not only does this help us leave a historical audit trail to ensure we stay compliant, but it’s also just good business sense to have everything in one place for everyone on my team to access at any time.”

“At GFOS, we have always put our client interests at the heart of every investment decision we make. Backstop has empowered us with a better way to collaborate and synthesize critical information on a timely basis. Our experience has been very positive since day one, with the entire implementation process running smoothly since we transitioned to the system. Everything our investment team does that touches our investment activities is now facilitated by the Backstop platform. It has become an essential tool in our investment process.”

“We run private commingled funds across various opportunities that include everything from real estate to hedge funds. We also do more niche-type asset classes. For example, we own private golf clubs and manufactured housing communities, and make those opportunities available to our qualified clients. We like to think we’re able to ‘dig into the weeds’ in direct investing in a way that some of our competitors might not be able to.”

"We’re using Backstop to track where we are in the lifecycle of an investor – from prospect to close to stewardship.”
