Private equity has traditionally required long-term commitments, high minimum investments and a high tolerance for illiquidity. For decades, access was largely confined to institutions and the largest private investors prepared to lock up capital for extended periods. The emergence of evergreen fund structures represents a structural evolution, broadening participation while seeking to retain exposure to long-term private market returns.
Unlike closed-end drawdown vehicles, evergreen funds typically operate with continuous capital raising and defined liquidity windows. Investors subscribe into a live portfolio rather than a blind pool and may have periodic redemption options, subject to fund terms. While this structure can lower entry barriers and provide greater flexibility, it introduces important considerations around liquidity management, valuation methodology and portfolio construction. For first-time private equity investors or those making smaller allocations, understanding these trade-offs is essential.
This one-hour webinar, hosted by Investors’ Chronicle in partnership with Moonfare, will examine how evergreen fund structures function in practice and where they may offer advantages within a diversified portfolio. The discussion will explore liquidity mechanisms, risk considerations and the practical realities of accessing private markets through these vehicles as well as providing a clear framework for assessing whether evergreen funds represent an appropriate route into private equity.
