Moonfare announced that it has surpassed €4 billion in assets under management, marking a major growth milestone for the global private markets platform and investment firm.
The milestone follows a strong first half of 2026, during which Moonfare recorded €313 million in inflows. This represented the firm’s strongest half-year inflow period since 2022, despite a subdued broader fundraising market.
Moonfare said the growth reflects continued demand from private wealth investors and family offices seeking access to institutional-grade private markets opportunities. The platform provides access to primary funds, co-investments, evergreens, secondaries, direct investments, and proprietary Moonfare strategies.
Inflows into Moonfare’s proprietary funds more than doubled to €62 million in the first half of 2026. This represented around one-fifth of total inflows, underscoring Moonfare’s evolution from a private markets access platform into a broader private markets investment firm.
Moonfare now serves more than 5,600 individual investors and over 350 family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across 24 countries. The company said further international expansion is expected as private wealth allocations to private capital continue to grow.
The firm pointed to research from the Deloitte Center for Financial Services projecting that private wealth allocations to private capital in the U.S. could rise from $80 billion in 2025 to an estimated $2.4 trillion by 2030. In Europe, the same trend is projected to more than triple from €924 billion to €3.3 trillion.
The AUM milestone comes shortly after Moonfare received authorization from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, or BaFin, to operate as an independent investment firm under the German Investment Firm Act. The license places Moonfare under direct BaFin supervision and lays the foundation for the firm to offer investment advice and portfolio management.
Moonfare said those capabilities will be central to its next phase of growth. The firm’s strategy increasingly combines curated access to third-party private markets managers with proprietary investment products across co-investments, secondaries, and direct deals.
Moonfare continues to apply a selective due diligence process. The firm reviews more than 500 opportunities each year and accepts fewer than 5% onto its platform, reflecting its focus on quality over volume.
The company provides qualified individual investors and family offices with access to private markets at lower minimums and on institutional terms. Its offerings include access to funds from managers such as KKR, Carlyle, and EQT, along with proprietary Moonfare investment products.
Moonfare is headquartered in Berlin and operates across 24 countries, with offices in New York, London, Singapore, Paris, and Luxembourg.
KEY QUOTES:
“In a subdued fundraising market, capital concentrates, It moves toward managers with the discipline to say no. That is what investors come to Moonfare for and our half-year growth confirmed it. Crossing €4bn tells us the model works. That over 20% of new inflows went into strategies we manage ourselves tells us where it goes next.”
Steffen Pauls, Founder and Co-CEO of Moonfare
