Direct credit investments often represent financing for buyout or growth investments and may have various features and covenants designed to protect the lender’s interests; such investments may include both secured and unsecured loans, bonds and/ or other forms of debt.

Direct equity investments generally involve new owners taking a material stake in the target company, frequently a controlling interest, and exercising significant influence on the growth and development of the company through work with the company’s management and board of directors.

Primary investments (primaries) are interests or investments in newly established private equity or private credit funds.

Secondary investments (secondaries) are interests in existing private equity funds, private credit funds or other assets that are acquired in privately negotiated transactions, typically after the end of the relevant fund’s fundraising period.

Risk factors and definitions

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

The following are certain risk factors that relate to the operations and terms of the Fund. These considerations, which do not purport to be a complete description of any of the particular risks referred to or a complete list of all risks involved in an investment in the Fund, should be carefully evaluated before determining whether to invest in the Fund.

The Shares are speculative and illiquid securities involving substantial risk of loss. An investment in the Fund is appropriate only for those investors who do not require a liquid investment, for whom an investment in the Fund does not constitute a complete investment program, and who fully understand and can assume the risks of an investment in the Fund.

  • The Fund commenced operations on January 3, 2022. The Fund is subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including the risk that the Fund will not achieve its investment objectives and that the value of Shares could decline substantially.
  • The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company designed primarily for long-term investors. The Fund is neither a liquid investment nor a trading vehicle. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment.
  • The Fund does not list the Shares for trading on any securities exchange, and the Fund does not expect any secondary market to develop for the Shares.
  • The Fund is a “non-diversified” management investment company. Thus, there are no percentage limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act on the Fund’s assets that may be invested, directly or indirectly, in the securities of any one issuer.
  • Before making investments, the Fund may invest proceeds of the offering in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, money market funds, repurchase agreements, and other high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment (“Temporary Investments”)

  • The Fund Investments will include direct and indirect investments in various companies, ventures and businesses (“Portfolio Companies”). This may include Portfolio Companies in the early phases of development, which can be highly risky due to the lack of significant operating history, fully developed product lines, experienced management, or a proven market for their products.
  • The valuations reported by the Sponsors, based upon which the Fund determines its month-end net asset value and the net asset value per Share may be subject to later adjustment or revision.
  • The Sponsors and (subject to applicable law) the Fund may employ leverage through borrowings or derivative instruments and are likely to directly or indirectly acquire interests in companies with highly leveraged capital structures.
  • Some or all of the Sponsors (subject to applicable law) and the Fund may use options, swaps, futures contracts, forward agreements and other derivatives contracts.
  • The Fund and the Fund Investments are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates.
