Who can Invest?

Investors qualify to invest with Moonfare if they meet certain criteria as per local regulation which may include a minimum financial instrument portfolio and sufficient prior investment experience. Due to the nature of funds we offer, Moonfare investments are available exclusively for (1) professional and semi-professional investors pursuant to Section 1 para. 19 no. 32 & 33 of KAGB, (2) certified high net worth investors and self-certified sophisticated investors pursuant to COBS 4.12.6 R COBS 4.12.8 R, and (3) qualified investors pursuant to Art. 10 para. 3 CISA and Art. 6 CISO, (4) professional investors within meaning of the Luxembourg Law of 12 July 2013 on alternative investment fund managers, (5) professional investors pursuant to D.533-11 and D.533-12 CMF, (6) professional clients within the meaning of Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instrument (MiFID II) and (7) professional investors within the meaning of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571D) and the Securities and Futures (Professional Investor) Rules.

How does a Typical Moonfare Investment works?

Moonfare investment vehicles pool interest in individual private equity funds. Capital calls, capital distributions, and fees are all paid through the Moonfare investment vehicle. We work with industry-leading partners such as Clifford Chance, Pandomus, EY, and DocuSign to ensure the process is efficient and secure for investors.

What is the Minimum Commitment amount?

The minimum commitment amount to Moonfare funds starts at €100,000, depending on the jurisdiction where investors are domiciled. We leverage technology to provide lower minimums than traditionally available, while respecting minimums required by local regulation for private equity investments.

When is Capital Drawn on my commitment

The schedule of capital calls is determined by the underlying fund manager. In general, we structure our investments with a 30% upfront capital call. The remaining commitment will be drawn usually over the course of the underlying funds’ investment period, typically four to five years.

How are Funds selected to be on Moonfare's Platform?

Investments offered on Moonfare’s platform are screened using in-depth due diligence and outside-in analysis. Criteria are defined as per the Moonfare FiveStar Diligence Method including fund managers’ track record, team and terms. While we focus on only top-quartile investments, we cannot guarantee future performance. For a more complete breakdown of selection criteria, please get in touch.

What is a Typical Fund offered by Moonfare?

Moonfare only works with top-tier funds, pre-selected for quality. We typically offer funds raising capital in excess of USD 1 billion, with strong past performance and track record of value creation for investors. Managers featured on the Moonfare platform marry deep industry networks with operational excellence, enabling them to source quality deals and deliver consistent value creation.

What is Moonfare's Typical Hold Period?

Our investment horizon varies by opportunity but a typical private equity fund investment has a maturity of 10 years.

Important Information

General Notice

Moonfare does not make investment recommendations and no communication, through this website or in any other medium should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. Alternative investments in private placements, and private equity investments via feeder funds in particular, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk warnings and disclosures for the respective fund or investment vehicle set out therein. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back their money originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. An investment in a fund or investment vehicle is not the same as a deposit with a banking institution. Please refer to the respective fund documentation for details about potential risks, charges and expenses. Additionally, investors will typically receive illiquid and/or restricted membership interests that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for private equity investing, private equity should only be part of your overall investment portfolio. Further, the private equity portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different private equity funds. Investments in private equity are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 10 years) should not invest.
