Urgent Request - Deal Information for HF Fundraising

I'm trying to fundraise for a HF. One group has responded back, asking for additional information to be provided in terms of 'gross returns' and 'net returns'. That's fine. I have no issue with this.

Overall, the portfolio of 61 investments since the Vintage Month/Year of September 2021 experienced slightly over a 70% loss. The question I have is from a fund accounting perspective, Hedge Funds view a particular deal from the lens of a transaction. 

If Coinbase had 3 separate investments and 1 generated a return and 2 generated losses, the roll-up doesn't go into Coinbase as a deal. The roll-up goes to the cumalative portfolio.

To respond to this organization, to further evaluate the investment process, should I send across a transaction list with the gross and net returns for each transaction, or follow the method of categorizing a deal as a Company or ETF that was invested in, list out all the transactions for that Company and ETF and the individual gross returns & net returns for each transaction, followed by a summary for the entire portfolio?

My current thoughts are while the presentation would look organized to have a 'deal' categorized by Company with transactions listed underneath, the individual transactions themselves are whats important and I should be able to send a list across without all the transactions being accounted for under a company.

How have others within HFs done with when reporting to LPs on performance?
