What are interval funds?
Today’s investors may be looking for ways to diversify their portfolio and enhance returns, while also having periodic liquidity and transparency. Interval funds are a type of investment vehicle that may offer these benefits and more.
Interval funds are closed-end funds that invest in less liquid and alternative assets, such as private and public equity and credit. These assets can potentially offer higher risk-adjusted returns, higher income, and diversification benefits for your portfolio.
Interval funds also have many features designed to prioritize shareholder interests, such as adherence to regulatory guidelines, periodic liquidity options, and simplified tax reporting.
Unlike traditional mutual funds, interval funds do not provide daily liquidity. Instead, they offer to repurchase a limited percentage of shares at periodic intervals,1 usually quarterly, at net asset value (NAV). This allows interval funds to invest in less liquid strategies without facing redemption pressures.
Interval funds are also different from private funds, which may have substantial minimum investment requirements, a multi-year lock-ups, and limited transparency.
