Join us as we discuss:

  • The opportunity: Why growth companies are staying private longer, what that means for public market investors, and how value creation has shifted to late-stage private markets, including a $5.3 trillion universe of 1,450+ private companies growing at 7x the rate of public peers.
  • The case for late-stage growth equity: How targeting Series D+ companies reduces failure risk, shortens the path to liquidity, and positions investors to capture pre-IPO returns before public markets reprice the opportunity.
  • Where it fits in a portfolio: How late-stage private equity can complement an existing public equity or alternatives allocation, including a comparison to small/mid-cap growth stocks and traditional private equity structures.
  • The Pre-IPO and Growth Fund (IPOSX): A look at ABS’s investment process, sourcing network, and the current portfolio, and how the interval fund structure makes late-stage private investing accessible for RIAs and their clients.

Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information about the Fund, please call (877) 499-9990 or download at https://preipo.absinv.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.

Fund Objective: The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Risks: The Fund is a closed-end interval fund. An investment in the Fund is speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. The Fund will invest in highly illiquid investments. Although the Fund intends to offer limited quarterly repurchase offers, repurchases are subject to conditions, may be suspended or modified, and may be funded through borrowings or asset sales at unfavorable prices. Investors may lose some or all of their investment.

The Fund invests primarily in private, illiquid, and difficult-to-value investments, including private equity, venture capital, SPVs, and pooled investment vehicles, and generally has limited control and transparency over underlying investments. The Fund is new with a limited operating history.
