- Preparing quarterly/annual capital account reports for investors regarding changes in the value of their investment in the fund
- Preparation and distribution of capital call letters to investors according to the fund's cash flow needs
- Calculating fund distributions and obtaining tax-withholding approvals according to different investors and tax ruling instructions
