We’re thrilled to announce the final close of Moonfare Core Portfolio II (Core II), the second vehicle of our flagship curated buyout offering, at more than €100 million.

Core II epitomises our mission to bring top-tier fund managers to more and more investors. Its blend of established private equity strategies — such as buyout, secondaries and co-investments — can provide individuals with the cornerstone of a diversified private equity portfolio.

Around a fifth of our investor community committed to the fundraise, underlining the growing demand for private equity at an individual level. Additionally, it also showcases the attractiveness of buyouts as a source of higher risk-adjusted returns in the context of market uncertainty.

Core II is just one example of our dedication to bringing balanced private equity offerings to more and more investors through portfolios. With just one deal, investors can access a curated selection of fund managers across a diversified mix of geographies and strategies.

You can read more about the Core II fundraise, including thoughts from our CEO Steffen Pauls, by checking out our press release.

Thanks to our investor community for supporting us in reaching this milestone. We’re looking forward to working for you to open up private markets to more and more people.
