LIQID closes fourth generation of private equity offering with record volume of 200 million euros. The fund is Europe's largest private equity fund of funds for wealthy private investors. The fifth generation of the offering has been launched.

Berlin - The independent wealth manager LIQID has closed the fourth generation of its private equity offering with a record volume of 200 million euros. This positions the fund as Europe's largest private equity fund of funds for wealthy private investors. Preparations for a fifth generation of the private equity offering are already underway.

Growth by around a third

Compared to the previous fund, the fourth generation of LIQID Private Equity has grown by around a third. The growing interest of experienced private investors in alternative asset classes is obvious. The new record volume of the private equity fund shows that awareness of the peculiarities of private equity is also growing outside of the major investors and financial elite. Moritz von Rhein, Managing Director and Head of Private Markets at LIQID, emphasizes: "Experienced private investors have a steadily growing interest in alternative asset classes."

LIQID has already launched the fifth generation of its private equity offering. With this new fund, the wealth manager continues to offer experienced private investors the opportunity to invest in private equity under the same conditions as smart money investors, family offices and large foundations. The LIQID fund offering enables private investors to invest like the best institutional investors with industry giants such as KKR, EQT, Permira and Bridgepoint.

Hope for further regulatory adjustments by the EU

The Berlin-based independent wealth manager offers investment strategies based on the smart money principles of professional investors such as family offices and endowment funds. LIQID currently has around 8,000 clients, including entrepreneurs, doctors, freelancers and executives from various sectors. The assets under management amount to around 2.5 billion euros. More than 2,500 investors have invested in the private markets segment. In addition to private equity, LIQID also offers customized capital market strategies and programs in the money and interest rate markets.

Regulation is still a barrier to entry, as a minimum investment of 200,000 euros is currently required. However, LIQID is excited about upcoming changes in European regulation that aim to further democratize the market and make alternative asset classes such as private equity and venture capital more widely accessible.

The company has been ranked among the best asset managers in Germany by business magazine Capital every year since 2017. The company is backed by HQ Trust, the multi-family office of the Harald Quandt family, LGT, a private bank owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, and Project A, a Berlin-based venture capital fund, among others.
