Family Offices
Exposure to direct asset-backed investment options is highly valued by many of our current and former investors. On a deal-by-deal basis, we frequently present options for co-investment when we already have established, long-standing partnerships.
FUNDS
We establish long-term partnerships and agreements with top managers whose investment philosophies align with our mission. Ignite500 invests to private equity funds to get access to markets that require investments outside of our area of expertise. The fund managers have skills in growth and efficiency strategies in addition to local expertise and industry insight. In order to gain access to investment opportunities that might otherwise be challenging, Ignite500 views fund managers as a highly significant resource.
Private Equity Funds
Our approach is to put money into funds where we can participate in a meaningful way that will advance the cause. Investing in a variety of funds allows us to do this. On the larger scale, we make investments in bigger, frequently pan-regional funds that make their own investments in comparatively large corporations. According to numerous research, bigger businesses are frequently more productive than smaller ones.
Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Funds
In the past, Ignite500 has prioritized small and medium-sized businesses (SME's) while investing its capital. This continues to be an important area. The financial landscape for this industry is frequently very difficult. Investments in these enterprises may directly affect the people we wish to reach because they are frequently owned and operated by people with local roots.
Venture Capital Funds
We can boost growth and profitability for businesses of every size and stage operating in a very broad range of industries and regions by collaborating closely with venture capital managers and providing funding, knowledge, and networks. We invest in managers who seek out opportunities where helping stakeholders or advancing solutions also offers a major opportunity for wealth creation, giving them the chance to realize real social and/or environmental benefits in addition to enticing financial rewards.

General Fund Risk Disclosure
The funds described in this website (each, a “fund”) are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, including mutual fund requirements to provide certain periodic and standardised pricing and valuation information to investors. There are substantial risks in investing in a fund. Persons interested in investing in a fund should carefully note the following:
- A fund represents a speculative investment and involves a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication/experience and willingness to bear the risks of an investment in a fund.
- An investment in a fund should be discretionary capital set aside strictly for speculative purposes.
- An investment in a fund is not suitable or desirable for all investors. Only certain persons meeting certain additional eligibility criteria may invest in a fund.
- A fund may employ leverage and other investment techniques, and such leverage and other investment techniques may result in increased volatility of the fund’s performance and increased risk of loss.
- A fund may trade in commodities, futures and other derivatives, which may increase the risk of loss of the fund. Fund investments are illiquid and there are generally significant restrictions on transferring interests in a fund. There will likely be no secondary market for the interests of a fund.
- A fund may have limited or no operating history.
- The investment manager of a fund may have certain discretionary authority over the fund’s assets.
- A fund may invest in a limited number of securities or instruments, which could result in a limited degree of diversification and higher risk.
- A fund generally involves a complex tax structure, which should be reviewed carefully. A fund’s investment strategy may cause delays in important tax information being sent to investors.
- The management fees of a fund’s investment manager may be substantial regardless of whether the fund has a positive return, and will offset the fund’s profits.
- A fund is not required by regulators to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors.
- There are likely to be a number of conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest in connection with an investment manager’s management of fund assets.
The above summary is not a complete list of the risks and other important disclosures involved in investing in funds. Before making any investment in a fund, investors are advised to thoroughly and carefully review offering documentation with their financial, legal and tax advisors to determine whether an investment is suitable.
