How an investor gets documents today

Magic-link email login; K-1s downloadable in Tax Center; no developer docs; website ToS prohibits robots/spiders and account sharing. The research records no investor-side API.

  • Ask the GP or administrator for delivery. With no investor API on record, the practical route is delivery of notices and reports to a nominated email address, an SFTP folder or a data feed set up by the fund side.
  • Email notifications. Turn on notifications and route them to a monitored mailbox, so new notices trigger your own processing. See How to automate capital call notices.
  • Manual download. Download documents from the web portal (exports recorded: PDF and CSV).
  • No scraping. The terms prohibit automated access. Do not scrape the portal or run browser automation against it. Use the routes above.
