Investor Distributions Made Easy with Yardi Investment Manager
Yardi Investment Manager is a versatile platform for tracking real estate investment activities, communicating with investors and more. Did you know it can also manage the complicated business of allocating and paying investor distributions?
Investment Manager, which can accommodate any type of investment hierarchy, processes post-waterfall distributions through accounts payable and issues them directly to investors in one of several ways:
- By committed percentage
- By committed amount
- By waterfall deal calculations

Distribution batches automate the journal entries and create the payables for each investor. Investment Manager’s distribution functionality illustrates the benefit of using a single connected platform for the real estate investment lifecycle.
“To be able to log in to Investment Manager for real-time access to quality data is priceless. We can see what trusts or entities a client has invested with, what actual investments those are in and the returns they’re receiving has been incredible.”
Scott McGinness, Principal and CFO, Cohen Asset Management
Yardi Investment Manager is a vital tool that saves Cohen Asset Management’s staff time and significantly improves the accuracy and quality of its reporting, empowering a better-informed staff. Scott McGinness, principal and CEO of Cohen Asset Management, pointed out that the ability to provide timely information eliminates the need for follow-ups with investors, making it more convenient for both parties. Investors frequently praise their service, and Investment Manager plays a significant role in that.
Leveraging Yardi Investment Accounting’s capital processing and waterfall engine, the solution generates distributions and tracks them end-to-end, with custom notifications and direct notice transmitted via the investor portal.
Integration with Voyager and Yardi Investment Accounting makes Investment Manager much faster and more accurate for distributions than spreadsheets or other manual data entry systems.
“The integration of Investment Manager with Yardi Investment Accounting and other Yardi solutions provides a single source of information and eliminates merging inefficient and error-prone data systems.”
Wills Gardner, Director of Capital Planning, Holladay Properties
Gardner emphasized how the integration streamlines information and eliminates the need to merge ineffective and prone-to-error data systems. Holladay leverages the Yardi Investment Manager to efficiently distribute quarterly investor reports and annual items, such as K1 tax forms, without requiring multiple emails or printed report packets. Investors receive real-time information, elevating their confidence in Holladay and bolstering its reputation. Automated data compilation significantly reduces staff time and labor.
