New functionality and attributes to fuel growth and scale in 2024
Inside Addepar is a monthly round-up of Addepar platform updates, research insights and client, partner and company news.
In November, we’re continuing our momentum with updates to create a more seamless experience throughout the product, including enhancements to the in-app import tool and a new Change in % Ownership attribute. The latest Addepar Research shares findings and offers actionable best practices for how investors can consider risks and opportunities from tech disruption, and we share updates from the Addepar community.
Product Updates
Import cost basis and groups
After a great response to in-app imports, we continued that momentum: users can now import cost basis, including digital assets and groups, without leaving Addepar. You can also use pagination to browse import history and download a file of new entities to get their IDs even when they don’t have a direct owner. This allows for a more seamless process when utilizing the in-app import tool.

Track change in ownership % over time
Users can now calculate the % Ownership attribute using any time point, not only a view or report’s end date. Previously it was only calculated using a view or report's end date. The new Change in % Ownership attribute shows change in ownership percentage over a specific period. These two updates make it easier to report on ownership changes.
Calculate % Ownership

Marketplace
As a follow-up to the Secondary Market Scorecard covering data and observations from 3Q2023 that was shared last month, the Marketplace team continues to advise on increased secondary activity in the second half of this year.
With limited traditional exit activity and, as a result, distributions from private investments, some clients face challenging portfolio decisions in managing private market exposure and the desire to recycle capital. Investors conscious of exit timing are increasingly turning to the secondary markets for potential liquidity opportunities for single assets, LP and multi-asset sales.
Connect with placements@acervussecurities.com to learn more about avenues for private asset liquidity. Marketplace is offered through Addepar’s affiliate broker-dealer, Acervus Securities, member FINRA/SIPC.
Research & Insights
As generative AI and other innovations are accelerating at a frenetic pace, investors are asking, “How might these technologies impact my portfolio?” Despite the prevalence of these large-scale tech disruptions, few investors have defined processes for analyzing and managing the risks and opportunities that such disruptions pose for their portfolios.
In a report titled, “Tech Disruption: Managing exposure to breakthrough technologies,” the Addepar Research team conducted 20 case studies with top institutional investment organizations, including large global public pension funds and endowments. This report distills these findings and offers actionable best practices for how all investors – no matter their size or resources - can consider risks and opportunities from tech disruption.
