By the end of this guide you'll know how to read the Cash Flows table in Covercy One — what each figure represents, how contributions and distributions are counted, how to narrow the table and export it, and how the same activity appears to your investors in their portal.
Note
Reading cash flow figures is a GP task. You need access to your firm's workspace and to the contact or investing entity whose cash flows you're viewing. Investors see their own cash flows in the investor portal.
Where to find cash flows
Cash flows appear in a Cash Flows section on two GP pages: an investor contact's detail page, where the section sits between the Investing Entities table and Tasks and covers every investing entity linked to that contact, and an investing entity's detail page, where it covers that entity's positions only. The section is always present even when there's no activity yet — in that case you'll see an empty state such as "No cash flows yet" rather than a blank space.
Read the Cash Flows table
Each row in the table is one cash flow event — either a contribution (money in) or a distribution (money out, returned to the investor). The columns are:
- Date — when the event is dated. For a funded contribution — one that's been paid, whether or not it came from a capital call — this is its value date, the contribution's economic date. For a capital call that's been issued but not yet funded, it's the call's due date. For a distribution, it's the distribution date.
- Type — a badge showing whether the row is a Contribution or a Distribution.
- Holding — the holding the cash flow belongs to (shown when you're looking across more than one holding).
