What is Fundscouter?

Fundscouter is the leading independent platform for comparing private equity and alternative investment funds. We offer in-depth, objective data on a wide range of private market options—evergreen funds, closed-end vehicles, fund-of-funds, and semi-liquid structures. Our goal is to cut through the opacity of the industry and put actionable, trustworthy information in the hands of all investors.

How Fundscouter Works

Most financial platforms either sit behind paywalls or push sponsored content. Fundscouter does the opposite. We deliver free, unbiased fund comparisons using a proprietary scoring system that looks at key factors investors care about:

• Performance History: See how a fund has performed over different market cycles.

• Fee Breakdown: Transparent details on fees, carried interest, and all expenses.

• Liquidity Terms: Clear explanations of lock-ups, redemptions, and secondary access.

• Strategy Insight: Understand a fund's focus—sector, region, and sourcing strategy.

• Risk Profile: Deep dives into downside protection and risk management.

• Team Track Record: Backgrounds and experience of fund managers.

Who Uses Fundscouter

Why Fundscouter Stands Out

We don't accept pay-for-placement or referral fees. Our independence is key to maintaining objective, reliable fund rankings. That's what sets us apart—alongside our depth of data and focus on transparency.

Navigating Private Equity Strategies

Private equity isn't one-size-fits-all. Fundscouter helps you understand each strategy's unique dynamics:

• Buyout: Control investments in mature companies, with value creation through operational improvements.

• Growth Equity: Minority stakes in scaling businesses with proven models.

• Venture Capital: Early bets on startups with breakthrough tech or models.

• Real Estate: From development to income-producing properties across sectors.

• Private Credit: Direct loans to businesses needing non-bank capital, often with attractive yields.

• Infrastructure: Long-horizon investments in core assets—energy, transit, telecom, and more.
