Alternatives to Moonfare
Moonfare provides access to institutional-grade private equity funds from managers like KKR, Hamilton Lane, and Carlyle — historically available only to institutional investors or ultra-high-net-worth individuals. With minimums starting at €50,000, it's positioned as a gateway to PE for affluent retail investors.
But Moonfare isn't the only route into private equity. Some investors look for alternatives because of the high minimum investment, the long lock-up periods typical of PE funds, or because they want exposure to different parts of the private markets — venture capital, private credit, or co-investment opportunities.
The platforms below all offer access to private equity or private markets in some form, accessible from the UK. Each has a different approach to fund selection, minimum commitments, and investor eligibility.
Understanding these alternatives is essential for investors considering private equity as part of a diversified portfolio strategy.
