Dry Powder Reporting

Dry powder refers to cash reserves that corporations and private equity funds have available to deploy when an attractive investment opportunity arises or to weather a downturn. The cash reserves give their holders an advantage over other firms that do not keep reserves since they can be used to capitalize on opportunities or to help them meet debt obligations when they come due. Most organizations, especially venture capitalists and private equity funds, maintain a dry powder in anticipation of tough economic times.

In other words, Dry Powder refers to the deployable funds available with the organisation. It is also a parameter that shows investment preparedness of a fund management house.

In an unlikely event, there is possibility that the fund manager might run out of liquid funds and default in the payment obligations. Therefore, it is critical to track funding requirement as per statutory liquidity norms and internally set parameters.

PIK BONDS

A payment-in-kind (PIK) bond refers to a type of bond that pays interest in additional bonds rather than in cash during the initial period. The bond issuer incurs additional debt to create the new bonds for the interest payments. Payment-in-kind bonds are considered a type of deferred coupon bond since there are no cash interest payments during the bond’s term.

Amortization Loans

Amortization can refer to the process of paying off debt over time in regular installments of interest and principal sufficient to repay the loan in full by its maturity date. A higher percentage of the flat monthly payment goes toward interest early in the loan, but with each subsequent payment, a greater percentage of it goes toward the loan’s principal.

Integrating an amortization calculator to assure the right position is reflected of such assets in reports.
