Carmignac has always been driven by the ambition to make sophisticated investment solutions, long reserved for institutional investors, accessible to the widest possible audience. From emerging markets to alternatives, and now private equity, this philosophy has consistently guided our innovation.
We believe that long-term value creation increasingly lies beyond public markets. As companies remain private for longer and innovation accelerates, access to private assets has become a cornerstone of a truly diversified portfolio.
Building on this conviction, Carmignac first expanded into private markets with an evergreen solution for professional investors in 2024, which has delivered double-digit performance since inception. Today, we are taking this commitment one step further with the launch1 of Carmignac ELTIF Evergreen, designed to open the door to private equity for retail investors, with no minimum investment required.
Carmignac ELTIF Evergreen gives investors access to a diversified portfolio of private companies across developed markets worldwide, with an initial focus on Europe. It is structured as a semi-liquid, open-ended evergreen fund, offering greater flexibility than traditional private equity vehicles. As an ELTIF, the strategy is firmly anchored in Europe and is well positioned to benefit from the continued development of a robust private markets ecosystem in the continent, while maintaining a global investment perspective.
Leveraging our expertise in secondary investments, we have designed an ELTIF strategy primarily focused on secondaries, investing in existing private equity assets with visibility on underlying companies and valuations. This approach enhances diversification and enables smoother liquidity management. Selective primary investments and direct co-investments further complement the strategy.
Together, this allows us to take advantage of current attractive European opportunities, supported by compelling entry valuations, strong corporate governance standards, and, according to us, a growing pipeline of high-quality private assets.
The fund has been designed to address some of the traditional hurdles associated with private equity investing:
More than 95% of European companies with >€100m revenues are privately owned3, meaning a large share of economic growth, innovation and value creation takes place outside public markets. Private equity allows investors to:
By building on a proven investment framework and leveraging our expertise in secondaries, we aim to help investors access private market growth with the discipline and conviction that define our approach.
