Moonfare leverages technology to provide lower minimums than usual, while always respecting requirements and regulations.

**How does the typical Moonfare investment work?**  
Moonfare investment vehicles pool interest in individual private equity funds. Capital calls, distributions, and fees are all managed through the Moonfare vehicle. Moonfare partners with industry leaders such as Pandomus, Deloitte, Apex Service Partners, and DocuSign to ensure efficiency and security.

**When is capital drawn on my commitment?**  
Capital call schedules are determined by the underlying fund managers. Typically, Moonfare structures investments with a 10–15% upfront capital call. The remaining commitment is usually drawn over the fund’s investment period, generally five to six years.

**What is a typical fund that Moonfare offers?**  
Moonfare only works with top-tier funds, pre-selected for quality. Typical funds raise more than $1 billion and are managed by experienced firms with strong past performance. These managers combine deep industry networks with operational excellence to source quality deals and deliver consistent value.

**What’s Moonfare’s typical hold period?**  
Each opportunity has its own investment horizon, but a typical private equity fund investment has a maturity of 10 years.

**What are the risks of investing in a Moonfare fund?**  
Investments in alternative funds, especially via feeder structures, are speculative and high risk. Investors who cannot afford to lose their investment should not participate. The value of investments may decrease as well as increase, and liquidity is limited. Past performance does not guarantee future results. These investments are not the same as bank deposits, and investors typically receive illiquid or restricted interests subject to holding periods (at least 10 years). Private equity should only be a part of a balanced overall portfolio.

## Important Information
> 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.
