The Satellite Newsletter #44
Dear Valued Member of the Moonfare Network,
We’re happy to bring you our Investor Survey Report 2025!
As far as we know, it’s one of the few surveys — if not the only one — that measures how individual investors feel about private assets.
Here’s what stood out:
- 55.3% of investors are planning new PE investments this year
- 45.8% see secondaries as top top-performing strategy in the near term
- 76.9% say tariffs and trade wars are the most significant macro risk
These are just a few findings to start with — download your report for the complete picture.
Make sure not to miss other stories in this month’s newsletter as well, including a review of potential secondary opportunities arising from endowment PE sales and a report on how firms are pivoting in response to the current economic reality.
Happy reading!
Your Moonfare Team

Important information
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.
