Developed in-house over the past eight years, Carapace meets the unique demands of infrastructure, real estate, and real asset investments, offering a comprehensive end-to-end solution for investment managers.
Purpose-built to address complex investment needs
A single point of capture and management of infrastructure, real estate, and real asset deal pipelines and investments, Carapace provides investment managers with a complete view of their portfolios.
