Fundscouter was created with a clear mission: to bring transparency and objectivity to private market fund selection. Our platform empowers investors to make informed decisions by providing comprehensive fund comparisons, fee analysis, and performance metrics without the noise and bias that often clouds the investment landscape.
What Is Fundscouter?
Fundscouter is a specialized platform designed to help investors navigate the increasingly complex world of private market funds. Unlike traditional platforms that may include hidden fees or biased rankings, Fundscouter provides clear, objective comparisons across multiple fund options. We focus specifically on evergreen funds, fund-of-funds, and semi-liquid structures that make private markets more accessible to a broader range of investors.
The Fundscouter platform is not an investment platform itself—we don't sell funds or collect commissions. Our independence allows us to maintain complete objectivity in our analysis and comparisons, ensuring you get unbiased information to guide your investment decisions.
