Introduction

Clients who have committed capital to a venture capital fund will generally need to make contributions over a specified time period to satisfy the terms of the agreement. You can track the payment information in Tamarac Reporting on the Committed Capital report.

Tracking committed capital requires some basic setup before the securities appear on the Committed Capital report. This page provides instructions for step 1, creating a committed capital security.
