What is a private equity fund?

A private equity fund is an investment fund that invests in companies that are not listed on the stock exchange. Unlike listed shares, these companies are not directly accessible on the financial markets — even though the majority of major global companies are not listed.

These funds invest in companies with high potential to support them in their growth, before a liquidity event (resale or new fundraising), with the aim of creating value over the medium to long term.

Managed by experienced professional teams, private equity funds carefully select their investments from a wide range of opportunities.

👉 As an investor, you invest in a fund with a horizon generally between 6 and 10 years, corresponding to the life cycle of the fund: raising capital, investing, supporting companies, then selling the participations.

At Fundora, we give you access to these investment strategies, starting at €100, in a supervised and transparent manner.
