NAO's Collaboration with Moonfare Shakes Up Private Equity Game for Retail Investors
NAO and Moonfare simplify Eltif investments for broader access to high-net-worth individuals.
Hitting the ground running, multi-asset platform NAO is stretching its investment wings in the private market. An exciting reveal announces the addition of a private equity ELTIF (European Long-Term Investment Fund) from Moonfare to the platform. This fund, structured as a master-feeder, permits worldwide investments in private equity funds, delivering a diverse portfolio across a multitude of investment managers.
Let's dive into the juicy details.
First off, NAO links forces with top-tier global institutional asset managers like BNP Paribas Asset Management, Partners Group, and UBS. These asset managers strut their stuff on multiple continents (North America, Europe, Asia) and sectors (tech, healthcare, infrastructure), ensuring savvy investors can savor geographically dispersed portfolios through one spiffy platform.
The cherry on top? The ELTIF structure, on top of traditional private equity, allows investments in infrastructural ventures (renewable energy, transportation) and private debt (corporate lending), with these opportunities extending far and wide. This cross-asset-class approach diminishes overreliance on any singular economic territory.
Elastic ELTIF 2.0 regulations, due to take stage in 2024, wave goodbye to initial minimum investment thresholds and boost liquidity options. They maintain EU cross-border diversification requirements, thereby ensuring a geographic footprint for invested funds.
NAO’s platform aggregates smaller investments (€1,000) into mammoth commitments, emulating institutional strategies that scatter capital across numerous funds and vintages. This strategy minimizes concentration risk compared to direct single-fund investments.
Of course, the ELTIF realm comes with risks - notably illiquidity and valuation ambiguity. Retail investors still need to trust NAO's thorough background checks when it comes to selecting global managers with proven pedigrees. After all, fortune favors the bold - and informed.
- Investors who choose NAO's platform can now invest in private equity through Moonfare's European Long-Term Investment Fund (VGPMHF), permiting worldwide investments in various private equity funds.
- By collaborating with global institutional asset managers like BNP Paribas Asset Management, Partners Group, and UBS, NAO enables finance opportunities across multiple continents and sectors, providing a diverse portfolio.
- The addition of the ELTIF structure to Moonfare's private equity offering on the NAO platform allows investing in infrastructural ventures (such as renewable energy and transportation) and private debt (corporate lending), diminishing overreliance on any singular economic territory.
- As regulations evolve, Elastic ELTIF 2.0 is expected to remove initial minimum investment thresholds and boost liquidity options starting in 2024, while ensuring EU cross-border diversification requirements are met.
