Meta Description: Discover how Macquarie Asset Management excels at equity management and how Eqvista’s solutions empower startups, investors and finance professionals to achieve similar results.

Why Macquarie’s Approach Matters

When you think of global asset managers, Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) stands out. They manage around A$941 billion across public and private markets. Their suite covers real assets, real estate, credit, equities and multi-asset strategies. What’s their secret? A long-term view, deep sector expertise and a focus on sustainable outcomes.

But here’s the catch: most startups and growing businesses can’t tap into Macquarie’s scale. They face messy spreadsheets, complex valuations and slow share-issuance processes. That’s where Eqvista’s equity management solutions come in.

Macquarie’s Equity Management Best Practices

MAM’s success is built on a few key pillars:

Deep Sector Specialisation
• Infrastructure, green investments, agriculture, real estate and credit.
• A dedicated team in 21 markets with over 2,200 professionals.
Long-Term Perspective
• Investments in 180+ portfolio companies across 33 countries.
• Focus on sustainable returns for clients, companies and communities.
Integrated Public & Private Markets
• Seamless insights across equities, multi-asset and alternatives.
• Ability to deploy capital quickly when opportunities arise.
ESG & Sustainability
• Formal sustainability framework driving long-term value.
• Partnerships that support innovations—from circular manufacturing to clean energy.

Macquarie’s model is impressive. But smaller organisations need tools that scale down—yet still offer rigour, transparency and efficiency.

The Equity Management Gap for Startups and SMEs

Running equity operations on spreadsheets? Ouch. You know the pain:

• Lost minutes hunting down owner percentages.
• Paper-based share certificates gathering dust.
• Last-minute 409A valuation rushes before funding rounds.
• Coordination headaches between founders, investors and lawyers.

You deserve a platform that’s as reliable as Macquarie’s processes—but tailored for startups. Let’s break down how Eqvista bridges that gap.

How Eqvista Brings Institutional-Grade Equity Management to You

Eqvista offers a suite of services designed to simplify every aspect of equity management:

1. Cap Table Management

• Visualise ownership stakes in real time.
• Track issuances, transfers and option pools with ease.
• Collaborate securely with your team and advisors.

2. 409A Valuations

• Unlimited valuations to satisfy IRS compliance.
• Fast, cost-effective reports that investors trust.
• Access to expert analysts for bespoke modelling.

• Issue electronic shares in minutes.

4. Financial Modelling

The result? You get the best of both worlds: Macquarie’s disciplined approach and a startup-friendly interface that eliminates paper, streamlines compliance and keeps stakeholders informed.

Why Eqvista Stands Out

You might be using other tools—maybe Carta or Shareworks—but here’s why Eqvista shines:

• Free Onboarding & Management: No surprise fees. Get started without breaking the bank.
• Unlimited 409A Valuations: Avoid last-minute costs or valuation lapses.
• User-Friendly Interface: Less jargon. More clarity. Even your non-tech co-founders will love it.

Plus, our platform integrates with popular accounting and HR systems—so you keep your financial data in sync.
