Investment thesis

Moonfare operates a digital platform that opens access to top-tier private market funds for professional, semi-professional and qualified investors. It pools investor capital into feeder/investment vehicles that invest in individual private equity funds, typically those raising over $1 billion with strong track records. Funds are screened via its FiveStar Diligence Method, evaluating manager track records, teams and terms, focusing on top-quartile opportunities. Minimum allocations start around €25,000-€100,000 depending on vehicle and jurisdiction, with staggered capital calls of 5-15% upfront. Moonfare also runs a digital secondary market (with Lexington Partners) offering institutional-style liquidity, and handles administration and cash flow for investors.
