How to use this page

Read the structure before the story

Start with eligibility

Check whether the platform matches your access level and minimum before spending time on the return story.

Treat liquidity as a first-order risk

Redemption terms, gates, and hold periods often matter more in practice than the headline category.

FAQs

How should I evaluate fees?

Look for management fees, servicing fees, performance fees, deal-level expenses, and exit-related economics. The right benchmark is net return after all fees, not headline yield alone.

What are the main risks?

Key risks include illiquidity, valuation opacity, leverage, manager execution risk, concentration, and tax complexity. The category matters, but structure and manager quality matter just as much.
