Tender Offer Funds: Structure Meets Strategy

VI. Conclusion

The growth of tender offer funds reflects growing demand among all classes of investors for access to private market investment strategies that previously were available only to institutions or the very wealthy. This demand is ultimately being driven by structural changes in the U.S. capital markets, as private assets have grown to represent a larger share of the investable universe. The discretionary repurchase feature of tender offer funds is well-suited to the fundamental economics of illiquid private market investing.
