Financial Covenant Tracking

Every covenant, every period, tracked the same way

Financial covenant tracking software stores covenant definitions per facility, calculates the actual ratio every reporting period, compares it to the agreed threshold, and records the result with full audit trail. CapitalBridge handles DSCR, ICR, LTV, leverage, minimum cash, asset cover, and any custom covenant out of the box, with cascading rules from portfolio to individual borrower. Configure once, monitor continuously.

Why Tracking Fails in Spreadsheets

A different spreadsheet for every borrower, every quarter

Most fund managers track financial covenants in workbooks: one tab per borrower, one row per covenant, formulas everywhere. It works at small scale and breaks the moment the portfolio hits 50 borrowers. Formulas drift. Templates diverge. Quarterly reviews become archaeology. Then someone changes a threshold and there is no record of who, when, or why.

  • Per-borrower workbooks drift over time, no consistent definitions
  • Threshold changes happen in cells with no audit log
  • Trend analysis requires building pivot tables every reporting period
  • Cross-portfolio covenant view requires a parallel summary workbook
From a credit officer

"Our quarterly covenant review used to take three days. Now it is one screen. Three days that we can spend on the borrowers that actually need attention."

How It Works

Define once. Track every period.

1

Define covenants

Each covenant: metric, operator (>=, <=), threshold value, headroom percentage. Apply at portfolio, sector, or individual borrower level. Most specific scope wins. Standard set covers DSCR, ICR, LTV, leverage, minimum cash, asset cover, plus any custom metric.

2

Auto-calculate on submission

Borrower submits financial data. CapitalBridge recomputes every covenant value, compares to threshold, sets status (compliant, at risk, breached), records the period. No manual entry, no formula maintenance, no copy-paste.

3

See everything in one matrix

Cross-portfolio covenant performance matrix: rows are borrowers, columns are covenant types, cells show status. Sort, filter, drill into any cell for trend history and threshold change log.

Capabilities

Everything covenant tracking actually needs

Standard + custom covenants

DSCR, ICR, LTV, leverage, minimum cash, asset cover, and any custom covenant. Define the formula in plain language; the engine handles calculation, threshold comparison, and status determination.

Cascading scope rules

Portfolio-level defaults, sector-level overrides, borrower-level customisation. New borrowers inherit appropriate covenant rules automatically; manual exception handling not required.

Full audit trail

Every threshold change, headroom change, manual override is logged with user, timestamp, before/after values. SHA-256 chained ledger gives auditors end-to-end provenance.

Trend tracking across periods

Every covenant value stored historically per reporting period. Quarterly trend lines, year-over-year comparisons, deterioration alerts. Credit committee packs auto-populate.

Cross-portfolio matrix view

One screen showing every borrower x every covenant. Spot patterns: which borrowers cluster in amber, which covenant types are most stressed, where to focus attention.

Why we built this

"The gap between a $200K enterprise platform and a shared spreadsheet should not be this wide. We built the thing that belongs in that gap."
