Companies are staying private for longer — which means that more and more shareholder value is being realised in pre-IPO in growth equity funds.
Today’s most successful companies are staying private for longer. Moonfare's growth equity portfolio unlocks your access to the exceptional growth and returns happening pre-IPO.
Many managers behind the funds in the growth equity portfolio have deep roots in Silicon Valley. We've carefully chosen all of them thanks to their proven track records. They have invested in top tech startups with +1bn valuations.
The Moonfare growth equity portfolio boasts all the benefits of a fund of funds without the drawbacks. Like a fund of funds, it provides instant diversification with one ticket and helps allocate across multiple strategies with a lower minimum. The difference? You already know part of the portfolio composition upfront — unlike in a fund of funds. which usually has a blind-pool risk. In addition, funds of funds usually have an additional layer fee. In contrast, the Moonfare growth equity portfolio invests alongside the feeders of the Moonfare direct offering — which means we don't need an additional feeder.
We will call 25 percent of your commitment two to four weeks after the relevant close. After you invest the 25 percent, we'll follow the capital call cadence of the underlying funds. Given the diversification in the portfolio and the administrative burden each call might pose, we'll aim to call on a quarterly basis. As a result, you should expect up to four calls a year.
The Moonfare growth equity portfolio aims to build a balanced and diversified portfolio by primarily investing in growth equity funds. At the same time, there's also flexibility to invest in venture capital funds as well as other adjacent minority tech opportunities. You can also directly invest into operating companies. We identify the portfolio funds with the goal of offering investors long-term, attractive returns while balancing risk through diversification across geographies, fund managers and investment strategies. Direct investments in operating companies enable the partnership to customise capital deployment, mitigate the typical fund J-Curve, build stronger relationships with fund managers and double down on the performance of attractive deals — possibly at more attractive fee levels. Moreover, co-investments provide the flexibility to efficiently deploy capital in a specific geography or industry, or with a specific fund manager.
No, the funds in the portfolio won't be sold once they have been subscribed.
Your investment will be denominated in USD and its performance's reference currency will be USD. When an underlying fund is EUR denominated, Moonfare will not engage in any hedging activities. That means that the Moonfare fund and, ultimately, the investors, will bear any currency exchange risks.
