How ABCapital scaled multi-strategy fund operations with bunch

Founded in 2020 by Brice Laurent and Adam Posma, ABCapital  is an alternative investment manager operating across multiple strategies. The firm is a cross-strategy manager with a lean, entrepreneurial team and an international outlook. With a growing base of private investors, the firm’s assets under management (AUM) reached around €75 million. As the investor base continued to grow, ABCapital recognized the opportunity to evolve from manual fund administration toward a more automated and streamlined approach. This shift aimed to consolidate processes into an all-in-one solution, improving efficiency and scalability.

As ABCapital sought to scale and meet the needs of its expanding investor base, the limitations of its legacy fund administration system became clear.

Before partnering with bunch, ABCapital relied their previous financial solution provider whose manual processes led to more inefficiencies due to limited automation:

• Manual Excel reporting required line-by-line reviews, increasing the risk of errors.
• Separate workflows (emails, separate VDRs, manual capital calls) created a more fragmented investor experience.
• High staff turnover at the former fund administrator led to inconsistent service.
• Complex fund structures and new strategies slowed down LP onboarding.

ABCapital needed a modern fund admin solution that could scale with the complexities of a growing, diverse portfolio. Their former fund admins’ turnover and lack of personal service, combined with the need to onboard LPs faster and manage more complex fund structures. bunch stood out for two reasons:

1) Tech-first platform — one portal for capital calls, reporting, VDR, and LP onboarding.

2) Service & partnership — responsive, accessible account managers available through direct channels.

Since migrating to bunch, ABCapital has experienced significant, tangible improvements that have positively impacted its operations and investor relationships:

• Time savings — capital calls and distributions are now managed directly within the platform, eliminating manual email chains and fragmented communication.
• Reduced errors — automation removes the need for XLS reviews, the firm has reduced the potential for human error, ensuring greater accuracy in its reporting and financial processes.
• LP experience — investors now enjoy seamless access to all their fund information through a single portal, with clear task management and data visibility.

ABCapital has expanded its activities across multiple investment strategies. As their LP base and AUM continue to grow, having a reliable partnership and a fast and transparent reporting cycle has become crucial, recognizing that traditional fund administration models no longer meet these demands, ABCapital embraces the new wave of tech-enabled fund administration solutions. 

In a rapidly evolving private markets landscape, where investor demands continue to rise and data integrity is paramount, ABCapital’s partnership with bunch has significantly reduced administrative overhead, freeing up valuable resources for growth. As the industry increasingly shifts towards AI-driven solutions, ABCapital is well-positioned with a scalable and adaptable infrastructure. This strong foundation not only strengthens LP relationships and fosters trust but also equips the firm to navigate future challenges, contributing to a more efficient and accessible private markets ecosystem.
