Crescent has created an open-ended ‘evergreen’ private equity fund for Australian Wholesale Investors giving them access to Crescent’s various private equity programs and similar strategies via a single investment vehicle – our “Evergreen Fund” or “Fund”.
Australian Wholesale Investors continue to allocate a greater proportion of their investment funds toward alternative assets such as private equity where there is the possibility of outperforming public markets and achieving uncorrelated investment returns. Our Evergreen Fund is dedicated to investing in only those funds and investments established and managed by Crescent.
Investment Target
Fund Overview
While the Fund is open, Wholesale Investors will have access to Crescent’s forthcoming core private equity fund, “Crescent Capital Partners VIII”, as well as access to the smaller-cap “Crescent Growth I” and any continuation funds or co-investments in which Crescent’s private equity funds are investing.
There is a “no capital call” structure, with investors’ subscription monies being invested immediately into Crescent’s corporate loan strategies pending deployment into the private equity program. This unique process will help minimise the investment return drag that would typically be associated with a “no capital call” structure.
