Outperforming public markets


EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE

Benefit from what institutional investors already know: the greatest shareholder
value comes from private markets, and funds like those offered on Moonfare have
generated an average IRR of 19% — outperforming the S&P 500 by 13%.²
‍
With todays’ environment of negative interest rates, volatile public markets and
difficult to source real estate deals, private equity offers investors a smart
alternative. Moonfare breaks down the barriers with low minimums, a fully
digital process and a unique Secondary Market.

Important Disclaimer
Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. CA US Private Equity (PE)
Index as sourced by Cambridge Associates’ Q4 2020 “Index and Selected Benchmark
Statistics” report. The Cambridge Associates Private Equity Index is a pooled
horizon IRR calculation based on quarterly data compiled from over 8,300 funds
private equity funds, including fully liquidated partnerships, formed between
1986 and 2020. S&P 500 Total Return Index as sourced from Yahoo Finance. S&P 500
TR Index data are annual compounded return calculations which are time weighted
measures and are shown for reference and directional purposes only. The CA PE
Index is not an investable index and is used solely for illustrative purposes.
The CA PE Index includes only Buyout and Growth Equity funds which matches the
investment opportunities currently offered by Moonfare. Due to the fundamental
differences between the two calculations, direct comparison of IRRs to time
weighted returns is not recommended. The chart shows the net growth of a $100
hypothetical initial investment in the referenced indexes on December 31,
1999.Index data does not include the effect of Moonfare’s feeder fees, that are
levied on top of the private equity funds offered and are estimated to decrease
their net returns by c. 2.3% on an annual basis. For this purpose we also show
on the chart a hypothetical Private Equity Index whose performance includes the
impact of Moonfare fees.

Within the European Union, Moonfare GmbH and its registered employees are acting
as so-called “tied agents” within the meaning of sec. 2 para. 10 of the German
Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz - KWG) in the name, on account and under the
liability of Fondsdepot Bank GmbH. In Hong Kong, the platform is operated under
the supervision of Moonfare Asia Ltd. (23/F One Taikoo Place, 979 King’s Road,
Quarry Bay, Hong Kong), an affiliate of Moonfare GmbH, and licensed with the
Securities and Futures Commission (CE no. BOO902) to carry on business in Type 1
(dealing in securities) regulated activity in Hong Kong under the Securities and
Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571). In the United Kingdom (UK), the platform is
operated under the supervision of Moonfare UK Ltd. (c/o Mazars LLP, The
Pinnacle, 160 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, MK9 1FF, United Kingdom), an
affiliate of Moonfare GmbH, and an appointed representative of RiskSave
Technologies Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct
Authority (FRN: 775330).



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.



¹ Minimum investment may vary by country and investor category.
