## Automated Preferred Return

**What's new?**  
Carta now supports automated preferred return waterfalls.

**What’s valuable about this change?**  
If you have a preferred return hurdle, your Fund Admin team will automate and review waterfalls directly in the Carta app. These improvements enable us to process more complex calculations in real-time, resulting in faster book closures, more secure data entry and the ability to view fund metrics in the app as they happen.

**What do I need to do?**  
No action is needed. Your teams will start to calculate this performance hurdle online immediately.

**How do I learn more or get help?**
