Through this deal, Ontra hopes to further augment its legal operating system for private markets and offer a ‘more streamlined and efficient experience’ for private markets transactions to asset managers.
Ontra noted that it will integrate Captain’s assets into its platform to enhance digital funds lifecycle management.
The integrate will result in streamlining onerous processes such as subscription documents, most favored nations (MFN) elections, side letter obligation management, and funds secondaries transfers, the company said.
Ontra added that its fund lifecycle management platform will improve transparency as well as performance for all parties involved in private markets transactions such as private equity firms, limited partners (LPs), law firms, and fund administrators.
