Investors on the Seedrs platform are now able to able to access their individual portfolio IRR.
Last September, Seedrs was the first ever equity crowdfunding platform to issue a comprehensive Portfolio Update which details the performance of the companies that have successfully funded on Seedrs. Across all deals funded on the platform, said the most recent version of the report, the market-wide performance was 14.4% IRR and tax adjusted 49.1% IRR.
Seedrs have now applied this performance metric to investors’ own personal portfolios. So, any person who has successfully completed one investment, or more on Seedrs, will be able to see the performance of their portfolio, real time, with a personal IRR on a tax-adjusted and non-tax adjusted basis.
The new tool is visible on every Seedrs investor’s portfolio page. It enables users to assess how their investment portfolio is performing in comparison to their investments across other asset classes.

CEO and co-founder of Seedrs Jeff Lynn said: “This exciting innovation arrives soon after Seedrs released its Portfolio Update and is another first for the equity crowdfunding sector. We see steps like these as a huge leap forward in transparency for the space.
“What makes this metric so groundbreaking is that it gives the closest indicator of any given investor’s portfolio performance before the shares reach liquidity. This is an extremely important measure in an asset class where the time-horizon for exits is generally upwards of five years and often even longer.”
