What to understand

Liquidity tradeoff

In exchange for quarterly (not daily) liquidity, interval funds can invest in private markets — targeting higher yields than public alternatives.

How it works

The interval fund structure explained

1

You invest capital

Interval funds pool capital from many investors into a diversified portfolio of private credit or alternative assets.

2

The fund deploys into private markets

Fund managers lend to companies or invest in assets that aren't available on public markets — targeting higher yields.

3

You earn regular distributions

Most interval funds pay monthly or quarterly income distributions from the interest and fees earned on the portfolio.

4

Quarterly redemption windows

Every quarter, the fund opens a redemption window — typically accepting up to 5% of net assets. You tender your shares; redemption isn't guaranteed.

Stay ahead of meaningful changes to interval fund offerings and target yields.

Common questions

What makes interval funds different from regular mutual funds?
Regular mutual funds allow daily redemptions. Interval funds only allow redemptions at set intervals — typically quarterly — and may limit total redemptions to a percentage of assets. This restriction lets managers invest in less-liquid private assets that target higher yields.
Is my redemption guaranteed?
No. If redemption requests exceed the quarterly limit (usually 5% of NAV), requests are fulfilled on a pro-rata basis. You may not be able to redeem your full investment in a single quarter.
Are interval funds suitable for all investors?
No. They carry liquidity risk, credit risk, and valuation uncertainty. They are best suited for investors with a long time horizon who don't need immediate access to their capital and can tolerate that redemptions may be delayed.
Do I need to be an accredited investor?
Many interval funds are registered under the Investment Company Act and are available to non-accredited investors, making them more accessible than private funds. However, minimum investments still apply, and suitability requirements vary by platform.
