The concept

What does “semi-liquid” mean?

Somewhere between an open-ended mutual fund and a closed-end vehicle — with rules every provider words differently.

A semi-liquid fund invests in unlisted assets — private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate — and redeems units only in fixed windows, usually quarterly and capped at a share of fund assets. Unlike an ETF you cannot sell at any time: to exit you give notice in time, wait for the next dealing day and accept that in periods of high demand you may be served only pro rata. Three figures decide how long that takes — and for each of the 140 funds they sit side by side here.

1 · Redemption window

When you can redeem

Daily, monthly, quarterly or less often. The window sets how often an exit is possible at all — everything else hangs on it.

documented for 137 of 140 funds

2 · Gate

How much can leave per window

Usually 5% of fund assets per quarter. If more is requested, redemptions are scaled back pro rata — the rest rolls into the next dealing day.

documented for 135 of 140 funds

3 · Notice period

How early you must give notice

Between a few days and several months before the dealing day. Miss the deadline and you wait a full window longer.

Redemption mechanics

How long does it take on average until payout?

Calendar days from the moment you need the money until it arrives: the need arises somewhere in the cycle, on average halfway between two cut-offs — plus the processing time until payout.

What this is about

What this database does — and why it exists

Private markets funds for retail investors are growing fast. But what matters most — when and how you get your money back, and what the fund really costs — sits deep in the prospectus and is nowhere comparable across providers. That is exactly what we make visible.

01

A market taking off

More and more ELTIFs and evergreen funds are sold to retail investors, some from as little as €1. Access is there — orientation is not.

02

The real problem

Redemption terms, gates, notice periods and true total costs are named differently by every provider and buried deep. A clean comparison has not existed so far.

03

Our contribution

We compile these details in a structured way and make them comparable — with our own liquidity score showing how easily you get your money back. Neutral, no recommendation.

How this is funded

We sell nothing

Most fund sites earn from distribution. We do not — which is why you find here what usually stays in the small print, including what speaks against a fund.

Self-funded

No advertising, no distribution fees, no paid placements. No provider pays for inclusion, order or prominence.

Complete, not curated

All 140 funds are listed — whether or not the provider talks to us, supplies data or even knows we exist.

No intermediary, no adviser

We take no orders, recommend nothing and give no investment advice. Compare, not rate.

Sorting in every list: by the stated criterion, then alphabetically. No paid placements. Where a value is missing it says “not documented” — never “0”.
