Tap into the power of investing directly in specific private equity funds. Diversify your portfolio, decrease market correlation, reduce volatility and look for higher risk-adjusted returns.
Historically, private equity fund investments were out of reach for everyone except for institutional investors, family offices and the ultra-wealthy. Moonfare levelled the playing field — enabling qualified investors to access this lucrative asset class.
Benefit from what so many institutional investors already know: private markets lead to better returns. Funds like the ones we offer on Moonfare have generated an average IRR of 19 percent since 1999 — outperforming the S&P 500 by 13 percent. ¹
The private capital industry grew to $10 trillion last year — and is projected to grow to $18 trillion by 2026.² When investors tap into private equity, they gain access to a rapidly-growing asset class that reaches beyond the public markets.

Investing in private equity takes less upfront cash than you might think. Since the typical investment period is seven to 10 years, the full commitment gets spread out over time via capital calls. In most cases, the upfront capital is only 25 percent.*
Through the J-Curve, sophisticated investors create a "self-funding" portfolio by investing in several funds or vintages. Over time, distributions from older funds can offset capital calls from new ones — further reducing your cash flow requirements.
* Please see fund documentation for details. Moonfare may call more than 25% upfront if needed by the underlying investment fund.
The illustrative cash flows are not intended as a demonstration or forecast of investment returns. They are provided as an example of typical cash flows for the types of investment vehicles included in the cash flow simulation. No specific cash flow are guaranteed and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investors should only base investment decisions on the official offering documents of the respective Moonfare feeder fund and the target fund materials. We produce this model for illustrative purposes only and it should not be used to evaluate any specific investment opportunity. All forward-looking calculations are based on assumptions that Moonfare believes to be reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly. Investments in private equity products are high risk and investors may lose all capital. The different return scenarios are based on fund level benchmark data sourced from Cobalt LP for the respective investment strategies. The favourable scenario takes into account the average TVPI of the last 10 years (2011 to 2020) from fund managers performing in the Upper Fence. Upper Fence performance is defined by Cobalt as the Q1 lower boundary plus 1.5*the interquartile range. This datapoint is used to identify outliers. TVPI stands for 'Total Value to Paid In' capital and refers to the ratio of the current value of remaining investments within a fund, plus the total value of all distributions to date, relative to the total amount of capital paid into the fund to date. The moderate scenario takes into account the average TVPI of the last 10 years (2011 to 2020) from fund managers performing in the first quartile threshold, defined as the top 25 percent. The unfavourable scenario takes into account the average TVPI of the last 10 years (2011 to 2020) from fund managers performing in the third quartile threshold, defined as a range up to the median (25.1 percent to 50 percent)
As the first platform to offer a digital secondary market for private market feeder funds, Moonfare makes investing in private equity more flexible with institutional-style liquidity. We've teamed up with Lexington Partners to offer you the Moonfare secondary market: it enables you to buy and sell stakes in funds before the lifecycle completes — bringing new liquidity to the asset class.
Liquidity on the secondary market is not guaranteed.
