Portfolio Monitoring is a structured workflow designed to assist investment professionals in tracking and analyzing the performance of portfolio companies. By ingesting financial documents such as Excel or PDF reports, the skill extracts critical KPIs, performs variance analysis against budgets, and identifies potential risks. It provides a standardized output suitable for board reporting, including executive summaries, trend analysis, and covenant compliance checks.

Extracts key financial metrics like revenue, EBITDA, cash balance, and debt.
Performs variance analysis comparing actual performance against budget and historical data.
Categorizes performance status using a traffic-light system (Green, Yellow, Red).
Generates board-ready summaries including KPI tables and management discussion points.
Identifies trends over time and monitors for potential covenant breaches.

When to use it

When reviewing monthly or quarterly financial reports from portfolio companies.
During the preparation of materials for board meetings.
When assessing whether a company is meeting its debt covenant obligations.
When conducting a routine portfolio performance update.

Advantages

Reduces manual data entry and calculation errors in financial analysis.
Provides immediate visibility into performance gaps and potential risks.
Produces professional, concise summaries ready for executive review.

Usage examples

“Review portfolio company financials for Q3.”: The agent will request the financial package and budget, then extract KPIs, flag variances, and provide a summary report with covenant compliance status.
“How is Alpha Corp performing against the budget?”: The agent will analyze the provided financial data for Alpha Corp, compare it to the budget, and highlight any red or yellow flags regarding their performance.
“Perform a covenant check for Beta Inc.”: The agent will review the latest financial data against the provided credit agreement terms to determine if the company is in compliance.

Workflow

Step 1: Ingest Financial Package

Accept the user's portfolio company financial package (Excel workbook, PDF, or CSV)
Extract key financials: Revenue, EBITDA, cash balance, debt outstanding, capex, working capital
Identify the reporting period and compare to prior period and budget/plan

Step 2: KPI Extraction & Variance Analysis

Key metrics to track (adapt to the company's sector):

Financial KPIs:

Revenue vs. budget ($ and %)
EBITDA and EBITDA margin vs. budget
Cash balance and net debt
Leverage ratio (Net Debt / LTM EBITDA)
Interest coverage ratio
Capex vs. budget
Free cash flow

Operational KPIs (ask user or infer from data):

Customer count / revenue per customer
Employee headcount / revenue per employee
Backlog / pipeline
Churn / retention rates

Step 3: Flag & Summarize

Green: Within 5% of plan
Yellow: 5-15% below plan — flag for discussion
Red: >15% below plan or covenant breach risk — immediate attention

Output a concise summary:

One-paragraph executive summary ("Company X is tracking [ahead/behind/on] plan...")
KPI table with actual vs. budget vs. prior period
Red/yellow flags with context
Covenant compliance status (if applicable)
Questions for management

Step 4: Trend Analysis

If multiple periods are provided:

Chart key metrics over time (revenue, EBITDA, cash)
Identify trends — accelerating, decelerating, or stable
Compare vs. underwriting case

Important Notes

Always ask for the budget/plan to compare against if not provided
Don't assume sector-specific KPIs — ask what matters for this company
If covenant levels aren't known, ask the user for the credit agreement terms
Output should be board-ready — concise, factual, no fluff
