Dusseldorf, October 25, 2022 – Private markets platform Kapital 1852 Beratungs GmbH launches Equity Invest V "Digital Growth II", a follow-up strategy to the successful Equity Invest III "Digital Growth".

Within the Digital segment, the sectoral focus of the strategy lies particularly on services in the areas of software and artificial intelligence, as well as on disruptive business models and technologies that participate in changes in the economy and society, such as digital health and clean energy. As megatrends, these areas offer promising opportunities for long-term sustainable and successful business models.

"With the previous venture capital fund of funds strategy, Kapital 1852 was able to achieve a proven track record of top quartile fund manager selection with a current net IRR of 43.3 per cent. We would like to continue this performance with Digital Growth II in the current environment with its promising opportunities."

Possible Risks in Connection with Participation in a Venture Capital FoF
No return/profit guarantee: Past returns and forecasts are no guarantee of success in the future.
Lack of influence: In principle, Kapital 1852 has no right to influence the selection of target companies by the target fund managers. Although the loans are often used to finance private equity and M&A transactions, the fund of funds does not acquire any voting or control rights of its own in the target companies, even during the term of the fund.
Blind pool: The private debt fund of funds does not yet have a (full) stake in target funds at the time of investment.
Currency risk: The private debt fund of funds provides for participations of up to 50% of the invested capital in USD denominated target funds.
Fair value fluctuations: The value of the respective target funds may fluctuate significantly due to macroeconomic drivers and/or other changing market conditions, including in particular market interest rates.
Taxes: The tax implications of the various jurisdictions in which the fund of funds is active are not yet known at the time of investment and may also change during the term of the fund of funds. In addition, the investor bears the risk of the tax and regulatory conception of the fund of funds and the investments made by the fund of funds.
Risk of total loss: Losses up to the total amount of invested capital are conceivable through the realisation of risks.
Asset Class VC: Due to the investment in young companies, VC is a high-risk investment (up to total loss) with limited influence by Digital Growth II as a fund of funds. The partial blind pool risk with respect to VC managers (associated with normally unpublished business figures of the portfolio companies) cannot be excluded.
Illiquidity: Shares are typically not publicly traded and can therefore only be sold at a significant discount to the fair values and/or book values during the term of the investment.
