In commenting on the Fund's progress, Bow River Capital Managing Director and Head of Evergreen Strategies Jeremy Held said, "When we created the Evergreen Fund, our goal was to provide investors with an all-weather, private equity portfolio in an investor-friendly wrapper. The last three years have highlighted the importance of finding investments with differentiated sources of return and of taking a more holistic view of portfolio risk management. We are pleased to have successfully navigated a difficult environment for our investors."    

The Fund's combination of immediate investment exposure, broad diversification, and low investment minimums ($50,000 for accredited investors) has attracted interest from a wide range of investors, particularly those who are interested in diversifying portfolios away from public stocks and bonds.  As of June 1, 2023, the Fund raised a total of $365 million in assets, predominantly from family offices, wealth management firms and individual investors. 

"Many investors are just beginning to recognize the potential investment benefits of adding private equity exposure," said Mr. Held. "We believe the Evergreen Fund can be part of that solution and we look forward to helping investors build better portfolios."    

As part of the Fund's growth, Bow River continues to expand its team. Richard Thackray joined Bow River Capital in October 2022 as President and in March 2023, the firm welcomed Eli Muraidekh as Managing Director and Head of the Private Credit Team. Messrs. Thackray and Muraidekh  each bring more than 30 years of private market experience and have both joined the Evergreen Fund's Investment Committee. 

"In the three years since its launch, our Evergreen Fund has grown consistently despite a challenging market backdrop," said Mr. Thackray. "This reflects the strength of this investment strategy and the strong performance our team has delivered."
