The problem

NAV oversight on a spreadsheet is no longer acceptable

For asset managers who have outsourced their fund accounting, NAV oversight is a regulatory obligation. The 0.5bp NAV movement check, validation against prior periods, and a documented sign-off process are requirements -- not best practice.

Most firms are still running this process on spreadsheets and email chains. Regulators and auditors increasingly treat that as inadequate.

Regulatory context
CSSF Circular 24/856 raises the bar for Luxembourg funds -- scope expansion, lower thresholds, and more rigorous governance expectations. UK regulators expect strong controls and oversight aligned with operational resilience and data governance requirements. For both markets, the business case for investment in a dedicated oversight platform is now regulatory, not just operational.
The NAV pack arrives as a spreadsheet
Your administrator sends NAV data in inconsistent formats. Ingesting it manually into your oversight model takes hours and introduces transcription errors.
The tolerance check lives in Excel
The 0.5bp movement check is a formula in a spreadsheet with no version control, no audit trail, and no formal sign-off workflow that stands up to scrutiny.
Sign-off happens by email
Approval is an email thread. There is no documented workflow showing who reviewed what, when, and on what basis. That is not an audit trail a regulator will accept.
Errors surface late
Without automated exception flagging, NAV discrepancies are found during month-end review rather than at the point they occur. Late discovery means investor impact.
Regulatory exposure is growing
CSSF Circular 24/856 and equivalent UK expectations mean the current approach is increasingly difficult to defend to regulators, boards, and investors.
Who it's for

Built for the firms everyone else ignores

Every enterprise NAV oversight platform is built for mid and large managers. daappa NAV Oversight is built for the firms priced out of those platforms -- the micro-managers and ManCos managing 1 to 10 funds who have outsourced their fund accounting and need a direct path to compliance.

Primary
UK and EU micro-managers
Asset managers with 1 to 10 funds, fund accounting outsourced to an administrator, and an obligation to perform independent NAV oversight. Currently using spreadsheets. Need the shortest path to a documented, auditable process.
Primary
ManCos and AIFMs
Management companies with depositary oversight obligations under AIFMD. CSSF Circular 24/856 makes the existing spreadsheet approach increasingly difficult to defend. Need a regulator-ready workflow without an enterprise implementation project.
Also relevant
Depositaries
Firms performing depositary oversight duties across multiple fund managers and administrators. NAV Oversight provides a single governed environment for multi-fund, multi-admin oversight without building bespoke infrastructure.
Total addressable market
There are 4,600+ asset management firms across the UK and EU. The initial target is 1,500 to 2,200 micro-manager firms that fit this profile. These firms are currently underserved -- enterprise platforms are too expensive and too complex, and no purpose-built solution exists for this segment.
How it works

Automated. Auditable. Straightforward.

Four steps from NAV pack receipt to approved oversight record. The workflow replaces the spreadsheet, the email chain, and the manual check -- all in one place.

01 — Ingest
NAV data arrives automatically
Daily email alert or portal upload. NAV data from your administrator is ingested, standardised, and normalised regardless of format. No manual re-keying.
02 — Validate
Automated tolerance checks run
The 0.5bp NAV movement check runs automatically. Configurable tolerance thresholds flag exceptions for review. High-risk items are surfaced immediately with the reason for the flag.
03 — Review
Exceptions routed for human review
Flagged items are routed to reviewers with full context. Maker-checker workflow. Inline commentary and escalation to second reviewer where required. Every action timestamped.
04 — Approve
Formal sign-off recorded
Approved sign-off is recorded in the system with full audit trail. 12-month history dashboard. Regulatory-ready evidence pack at any point. Nothing lives in a spreadsheet or an email thread.
Daily email alert
Starter and Professional tiers include a daily email alert showing NAV movement status across your funds. See at a glance whether everything is within tolerance without logging into the platform.
12-month history dashboard
Every NAV cycle, every check result, every exception, and every sign-off is retained in the dashboard. Ready for annual audit, regulatory inspection, or board reporting at any point.
CSV and API output
Professional and Enterprise tiers include CSV export and API connectivity for integration with downstream reporting tools, portfolio management systems, or DataHub for Studio+ analytics.

Regulatory context

The regulatory backdrop is getting stricter

Two distinct regulatory environments. Both moving in the same direction.

Luxembourg / EU

CSSF Circular 24/856

The CSSF's updated circular explicitly elevates expectations for NAV oversight in Luxembourg. Scope expansion, lower tolerance thresholds, and more rigorous governance expectations mean the previous approach is increasingly difficult to defend.

  • Expanded scope for NAV error detection and correction
  • Lower materiality thresholds for reporting obligations
  • Stronger governance and board-level oversight requirements
  • Enhanced documentation and audit trail expectations
  • Applies to ManCos, AIFMs, and depositaries operating in Luxembourg
United Kingdom

FCA governance expectations

The UK regulatory trend is proportionality plus operational resilience plus data and governance rather than prescriptive rule sets. The expectation for strong controls and oversight is high and growing -- particularly for outsourced operating models.

  • Operational resilience obligations under the FCA sourcebook
  • Data governance and accuracy expectations for authorised managers
  • Investor protection requirements for NAV accuracy and oversight
  • Audit and board reporting requirements for oversight processes
  • Applies to UK-authorised AIFMs and regulated fund managers
What daappa NAV Oversight provides as evidence
A complete audit trail of every NAV pack received, every tolerance check run, every exception flagged, every reviewer action, and every sign-off -- with timestamps and user attribution throughout. 12-month history available at any point for regulatory inspection, annual audit, or board reporting.

Common questions

NAV Oversight -- frequently asked

What is the 0.5bp NAV movement check?
The 0.5bp NAV movement check is the standard regulatory tolerance for NAV variation between calculation periods. If a fund's NAV moves by more than 0.5 basis points from one period to the next without explanation, it must be flagged, investigated, and documented. Most firms currently perform this check manually in a spreadsheet -- daappa automates it and records the result with a full audit trail.
How quickly can I be live?
Yes. The guided setup session (included in the one-off setup fee) configures your data import templates, defines your tolerance thresholds, and tests the workflow against your actual NAV packs. For a Starter or Professional client with 1 to 10 funds and a straightforward administrator setup, a matter of weeks from first conversation to live operation is typical.
Does it replace our fund administrator?
No. daappa NAV Oversight sits above your fund administrator and provides independent oversight of the NAVs they produce. It does not replace fund accounting or administration. It validates the output and gives you the documented evidence that you have performed independent oversight -- which is what regulators and auditors look for.
What format does the NAV data need to be in?
NAV Oversight ingests data via the portal (upload) or daily email. It handles CSV and XLSX formats from your administrator. The setup process configures the import templates to match your administrator's specific format -- you do not need to ask your administrator to change anything.
Is it aligned with CSSF Circular 24/856?
Yes. The platform provides the automated tolerance checking, documented sign-off workflow, and full audit trail that CSSF Circular 24/856 expects. For Luxembourg-domiciled funds, the platform supports the governance and documentation requirements of the circular. We recommend confirming alignment with your legal counsel for your specific fund structure.
What happens when I hit my fund limit?
The platform includes automated prompts when you approach your plan limit. A Customer Success Manager will contact you proactively to discuss upgrading your plan or expanding into the broader Studio+ platform. There is no penalty for growing -- upgrading between tiers is straightforward and your historical data and configuration carry over.
