Valuation Register
Challenge
Valuers and directors value assets several times a year. Valuers vary, as do the output formats, which portfolio teams then manually collate, standardise and process for period analysis and reporting. Fine for smaller portfolios in a single currency, but cumbersome, time-consuming and error-prone for larger ones.
Solution
Lateral receives asset valuations from valuers, banks and directors, uploads them and rolls them up into portfolios for a complete, accurate and harmonised view of key metrics and like-for-like period comparisons. Effort, complexity and errors are minimised, and data is securely stored for analysis, records and ready access.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio. Ten assets in one fund grow to 277 assets across six funds, valued in four currencies. Each six-monthly valuation adds a storey to every asset held; between valuations 65 assets are sold and 95 bought, 1,459 valuations in all. Manual collation strains under it, then the Valuation Register snaps everything into one consolidated view: 30.45 billion euros net value at December 2026, up 1.73% like-for-like over six months.

Debt Register
Challenge
Investment managers typically manage debt through a dedicated system, run directly or through a service provider. These systems do their job, but are rarely connected to live asset and portfolio data, which limits their usefulness for portfolio management and finance teams needing the full picture.
Solution
Lateral connects to debt systems to present facilities, hedges, lenders, borrowers, terms and balances in the context of live asset and portfolio information. Alternatively, it allows tracking and consolidation of these in Lateral itself. Either way, teams get a complete, consistent view of all debt information.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio at December 2026. 307 assets are held through 60 SPVs, and each SPV carries its own debt facility. Debt fills each SPV to its loan-to-value, 40.3% across the portfolio, with 12.26 billion euros drawn. Forty lenders fund the facilities, two to four each, and 90 interest rate caps hedge 83.5% of the drawn debt. Kept in a separate system, the debt drifts away from the valuations and has to be reconciled by hand. The Debt Register links it back to the live valuations, recalculates every LTV and flags the 15 SPVs above their LTV covenant.

Connections
Everything Connects
Vertically
Every level rolls up into the next: assets to SPVs, SPVs to portfolios and funds, funds to funds-of-funds and group, with changes instantly reflected throughout. So when an update happens, everybody works from the same accurate base.
Horizontally
Debt Register is integrated with Valuation Register, linking facility and hedging information to the corresponding SPVs and assets, and ensuring the information stays current, including calculated financial ratios and covenants.
Externally
Lateral connects to external data regularly provided by valuers and any debt management systems already in use. Clients seeking to run AI on their own data in Registers can connect directly via Lateral's built-in MCP.
Animation built from a sample European portfolio at December 2026. Vertically, each of 307 assets links up to its SPV, its fund and the group. Horizontally, each SPV's debt sits on the same structure, so LTV and covenants use live values. Externally, valuers and debt systems feed data in, and AI can read it through Lateral's built-in MCP. Then one real revaluation, Landmark Gallery from 92.4 to 99.7 million euros, travels through every level: its SPV, Allure, moves from 47.0% to 46.2% LTV, Fund One and the group update, and an AI query returns the new figure.
