Growth through compounding.
Returns are immediately reinvested back into the fund, potentially leading to greater compounded growth.
Put capital to work instantly.
The full investment amount is called upfront and deployed right away at the fund's current value.
Easier to manage.
With commitments paid upfront, there’s no need to track multiple capital calls and distribution notices over the fund lifecycle.
¹ Liquidity is not guaranteed.
Private equity-like returns.
But with more liquidity potential.
But with more liquidity potential.
While private markets may offer greater returns, the lack of liquidity access has kept many investors away.
However, semi-liquid funds may help overcome this barrier by offering periodic access to some of the investor's capital, while still providing exposure to private assets and long-term compounding growth opportunities.
Investors can typically request redemptions once per quarter², though withdrawals may be fulfilled on a pro rata basis if demand exceeds available liquidity.

Stay invested for compounding returns.
Distributions in semi-liquid funds are typically recycled back into new opportunities.
This way, investors can stay fully invested, without losing valuable time in the market deciding how to redeploy profits.
Compounding works best over the long term, turning steady investing into outperformance.
Choose where you invest carefully.
Success in semi-liquids depends on the manager’s ability to access a steady flow of high-quality assets. These opportunities enable returns to be reinvested at higher rates, accelerating compounding over time.

Moonfare's unique approach to secondaries.
Our open-ended, semi-liquid secondary strategy is designed for flexibility, enabling select assets to be held longer while still offering periodic liquidity (subject to restrictions)³.
As more mature assets, private equity secondaries can also help reduce J-curve risk and potentially offer faster, more predictable distributions for investors in semi-liquid vehicles.
³ Moonfare Secondaries programme aims to offer partial liquidity which cannot be guaranteed, may not be eligible to all investors and is subject to demand. Note: the strategies described herein are target strategies, cannot be guaranteed, and may be subject to change. Refer to the underlying legal documents for a better understanding of the strategy at the time of investing. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

Important information
This is a marketing communication. 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.
