How it works
Three steps, plainly explained
Commitment
Capital is committed for the full term; distributions follow the underlying investments, not a fixed calendar.
Reporting
Periodic reports on each underlying holding and its estimated value.
What you actually own
Units in a managed private-markets portfolio, which itself holds stakes in companies, loans and property funds.
Provided by a specialised partner, with whom the contract is concluded directly. AvantGarde introduces you and accompanies you; it does not hold client funds.
Why no return figures here
Partner projections are estimates, not promises. You receive them with all costs and risks, in writing, after the partner has assessed your situation — never as a headline.
Risks you should know
Read this before the opportunity
Capital is locked in for years; early exit is limited or impossible.
Valuations are estimates, not daily market prices.
Companies or borrowers can fail; diversification limits but does not remove this.
Fees are higher than for listed funds — stated in writing before you commit.
It may fit if…
- ✓You can commit capital for five years or more
- ✓Your core portfolio and cash reserves are in place
- ✓You want return drivers beyond listed markets
It is not for you if…
- ✕You need regular access to the capital
- ✕This would be your largest single position
