While all results for Ultimus Leverpoint are in the Very Good range ( 6.00- 6.99 ), On-boarding , Capital Drawdowns and Distributions and Reporting to Regulators stand out both as top scoring categories and those most above the market average . All responses are from US clients . The firm provides clients with one centralised point of contact alongside the ability to directly access the experts that perform its specialised services . “ This clientcentric model is increasingly less common in the industry today , and one of Ultimus LeverPoint ’ s strongest differentiators ,” says the firm . Client comment would seem to support this . “ Ultimus Leverpoint team goes above and beyond any other administrator we ' ve had ,” says one . “ They are cognisant of the time zone difference and do everything in their power to be available if and when they are needed . They aren ' t just a typical administrator . They are an integral part of our team and our firm would not be able to function without them .” In 2021 , the firm launched a new digital platform , uINVESTOR , which automates the subscription process and uACCESS , through which fund managers and their investors can directly access detailed fund and investorlevel data and reporting on-demand . Reporting to Limited Partners also comes in for praise . “ We had tried hosting Special Purpose Vehicles with other fund administrators and it proved to be extremely problematic -- in large part because our LPs were unhappy with reporting from other vendors . Reporting by Ultimus Leverpoint has always satisfied us and our Limited Partners ,” says one client .
