About FundScouter

FundScouter was founded with a clear mission: to bring transparency, accessibility, and objective analysis to private market investing. We believe that all investors deserve access to high-quality information about private market funds, presented in a clear, consistent format that enables meaningful comparisons.

As private markets continue to open up to a broader range of investors, the need for independent, objective analysis becomes increasingly important. FundScouter fills this crucial gap by providing a platform that cuts through marketing language and presents the facts investors need to make informed decisions.

At FundScouter, we apply a consistent methodology to evaluating every fund on our platform. Our analysis focuses on several key dimensions:

• Performance Analysis: We evaluate historical returns across various timeframes and market conditions, providing context for how funds have performed relative to relevant benchmarks.
• Fee Transparency: We break down complex fee structures into clear, comparable metrics so investors can understand the true cost impact of different fund options.
• Investment Strategy: We analyze each fund's approach to portfolio construction, sector focus, and investment thesis.
• Risk Assessment: We examine risk factors related to leverage, concentration, liquidity, and other key considerations.
• Governance and Structure: We evaluate the regulatory framework, governance model, and investor protections of each fund.
