Up to now, listed private equity investing has been limited to trading individual stocks of listed private equity companies or to static portfolios based on narrowly defined indices.

In an environment where established private equity firms are announcing plans for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), and substantial new deals are announced almost daily, financial and currency market flux can move expected portfolio returns rapidly in either direction. Quarterly or annual rebalancing associated with narrowly defined indices, and their corresponding ETFs, fail to provide investors with the hands-on management or leadership necessary to effectively keep up with developments as they occur.

Alternatively, the Listed Private Equity Plus Fund does not seek to replicate any index. Rather, the Fund’s investment advisor, Vista Research and Management, focuses solely on the listed private equity market. As a specialist in this area, the Fund’s management team evaluates stocks from a rapidly growing global universe that includes over 200 companies with direct holdings in several thousand private enterprises in a myriad of businesses. The Listed Private Equity Plus Fund’s shareholders benefit from the pro-active stewardship that monitors, reviews and, as appropriate, modifies the fund’s portfolio on a daily basis.
