    Altsoft review

    4 out of 5 stars Date: May 20 2024
    Summary

    Overall positive with the needs for some refinement and added features. Customer support is good but on Europe time, would be good to add US presence.

    Positive

    Ability to be granular and customize assumptions. Ability to go fund by fund and adjust projected returns and have it recalibrate.

    Negative

    No connectivity with data platforms (ex Addepar) making a manual upload process which can be finicky.
