Moonfare is a digital private equity platform that offers investments in top-tier private equity funds to a wider audience at lower minimums. Their platform allows individual investors to access private equity opportunities previously only available to institutional investors.

Key features and capabilities of Moonfare include:

Access to Top-Tier Private Equity Funds

Moonfare’s investment committee carefully curates a selection of private equity funds from top-tier managers. They apply nearly 200 years of combined private equity experience to identify the most attractive funds for their platform.

Lower Investment Minimums

Moonfare enables individual investors to access private equity funds with minimums as low as €50,000, compared to the typically higher minimums required by private equity firms directly.

Diversification

Moonfare’s portfolio products provide immediate diversification across multiple private equity funds, allowing investors to gain exposure to the asset class through a single investment.

Secondary Market

In partnership with Lexington Partners, Moonfare offers a digital secondary market that enables investors to buy and sell stakes in private equity funds before the lifecycle is complete, bringing potential liquidity to the asset class.

Rigorous Due Diligence

Moonfare’s in-house investment team applies a proprietary due diligence framework to thoroughly evaluate and select the private equity funds offered on the platform. Moonfare’s digital platform and focus on making private equity more accessible to individual investors has made it a leading provider of alternative investment opportunities in Europe.
