EXAMPLE:
You would pay the following fees and expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5% annual return:
Class A
Class I
Class F
(1) This amount does not reflect the imposition of a maximum repurchase fee of 2%, because Shares held for the full time periods above are not subject to repurchase fees.
The examples should not be considered a representation of future expenses and actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown. Moreover, the rate of return of the Fund may be greater or less than the hypothetical 5% return used in the Example. |

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, Note [Text Block] | Represents estimated management fees and operating expenses of the Investment Interests in which the Fund intends to invest. The investments in which the Fund intends to invest generally charge annual management fees of 1.00% to 1.30% during the period in which the Investment Interest is making investments and carried interest of 10-20% of net profits. Investment Interests in which the Fund will invest generally charge annual management fees (based on capital account balances) and carried interest that are at or below the comparable percentage levels associated with the majority of investments. In a given period, the management fees charged by the Investment Interests may be reduced in part by amounts received by the Investment Interests’ management company for related activities, such as transaction and monitoring fees received from portfolio companies. The 1.19% shown as “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” reflects management fees (after reductions) and operating expenses (e.g., administrative, professional, and other) of the Investment Interests, but excludes any carried interest or similar profit-based allocations that are paid solely on the realization and/or distribution of gains (or on the sum of such gains and unrealized appreciation of assets distributed in kind), as such fees and allocations for a particular period may be unrelated to the cost of investing in the Investment Interests. Expenses may be substantially higher where carried interest or similar profit-based allocations are incurred in connection with Investment Interests and such expenses may fluctuate over time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block] |
INVESTMENT PROGRAM
Investment Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Board without Shareholder approval.
The Fund intends to allocate at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) to private equity investment interests of any type (“Investment Interests”) sponsored or managed by TPG Operating Group I, L.P., TPG Operating Group II, L.P., TPG Operating Group III, L.P. (collectively, “TPG Operating Group”) and Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. and their controlled funds, general partners and management companies and any of their affiliates, including TPG Inc. (together with TPG Operating Group, “TPG”). Shareholders will be provided with sixty (60) days’ notice in the manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) before the Fund makes any change to this policy.
The Fund may at any time determine not to allocate its assets to TPG and, instead, may determine to allocate its assets to Investment Interests not sponsored, advised by, or otherwise linked to, TPG and to mandates and asset classes not representative of private equity.
The Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in direct access investments (“Direct Access Investments”). This policy is an investment guideline and may change without notice to shareholders. Direct Access Investments are buyout and growth equity investments, made by the Fund on a deal-by-deal basis, through or alongside private equity funds. Buyout investors (either alone or through a financial consortium) usually focus on acquiring controlling equity interests in small-, mid- or large-capitalization companies, which are cash flow positive; such investments collectively represent a substantial majority of the capital deployed in the overall private equity market. The use of debt financing, or leverage, is prevalent in buyout transactions - particularly in the large-capitalization segment. Growth equity typically involves investments in established companies with strong growth characteristics and relatively low levels of financial leverage. Companies typically raise growth equity to accelerate organic initiatives and to execute add-on acquisitions.
The Fund’s investment adviser is iCapital Fund Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”). The Adviser believes that the Fund’s investment program will offer exposure to private equity investments for investors who have not previously had broad access to Investment Interests sponsored or managed by TPG. The Adviser will allocate to Investment Interests that focus on buyout and growth equity investment styles across multiple geographic regions including North America, Asia and Europe. The investment program’s use of Direct Access Investments is intended to allow the Fund to achieve broad investment exposure and efficient capital deployment.
The Fund’s structure is intended to alleviate or mitigate a number of the investor burdens typically associated with private equity fund investing, such as funding capital calls on short notice, reinvesting distribution proceeds, meeting high investment minimums and receiving tax reporting on potentially delayed Schedule K-1s.
TPG and TPG Private Equity Overview
TPG Inc. is a leading global alternative asset manager with $246 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024, and over three decades investing and building businesses in the most dynamic sectors of the global economy. Founded in 1992 in the San Francisco Bay area, TPG is built on family office origins and an entrepreneurial heritage, which have resulted in an affinity for innovation and a distinctive culture of openness and collaboration. TPG seeks to consistently deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing and building businesses in the most dynamic sectors of the global economy.
Private equity is a core part of TPG’s heritage and today remains its largest asset class. TPG’s private equity investment approach, developed over TPG private equity’s 32-year history, is built on insight and engagement. TPG seeks to invest behind high quality companies benefitting from secular growth trends and drive further growth through strategic and operational improvement. TPG’s teams have invested together over multiple decades with a strategic orientation towards several core sectors including Healthcare, Technology, Consumer, Business Services, and Climate, which it believes benefit from strong macroeconomic tailwinds. TPG believes this specialization and expertise within sectors allow it to derive compelling insights that drive the identification of high conviction investing ideas and themes, and result in creative and often proprietary investment opportunities. TPG is a highly engaged, hands-on investor, and aims to drive business improvement and accelerate growth in its portfolio companies by leveraging its deep sector expertise and team of operational professionals. TPG believes its targeted focus on attractive, growing industries, combined with its ability to transform companies through active engagement and operational improvement, enable it to select quality assets and drive value creation regardless of economic backdrop and across market cycles.
TPG manages a diversified array of investment products encompassing a broad spectrum of alternative assets including private equity, credit, and real assets. As of September 30, 2024, TPG employed over 1,800 people, including more than 650 investment and operations professionals across 34 offices, which provides it with a substantial global reach and network. TPG manages a portfolio of approximately 300 active portfolio companies, 300 real estate properties, and 5,000 credit positions across more than 30 countries.
TPG is not a sponsor, promoter, adviser or affiliate of the Fund. There is no agreement or understanding between TPG and the Fund or the Adviser regarding the Fund or its investment program. The Fund expects that TPG will provide information to the Fund of the type and scope (and with the same frequency) that TPG customarily provides to other institutional investors. In addition, TPG will not guarantee investment opportunities for the Fund, nor will it provide investment recommendations or investment advice to the Fund or the Adviser regarding investment opportunities.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive the same terms as TPG, its affiliates and its other clients if they participate in the same opportunities. Past performance of Investment Interests sponsored or managed by TPG is not indicative of future results of those Investment Interests.
Information presented herein with respect to TPG has been derived from public filings made by TPG with the SEC.
The Fund
The minimum investment in the Fund is $10,000. Shares will be sold to investors (“Shareholders”). The Fund will pay, and Shareholders will bear, a Management Fee (as defined below) charged by the Adviser. Shareholders will also be indirectly subject to asset-based fees and incentive fees in respect of the Investment Interests paid to TPG or any other private equity manager (an “Other Manager”, each an “Investment Manager”) and indirectly borne by Fund shareholders.
Each underlying Investment Interest is, or will be, managed by an Investment Manager under the direction of their portfolio managers or investment teams. Investment Interests may be domiciled in U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdictions and may be held within broader private investment vehicles.
Private equity generally refers to privately negotiated equity investments made in non-public companies.
Private equity firms typically seek to invest in quality operating companies at attractive valuations and use strategic and operational expertise to enhance value and improve performance.
Buyout investors (either alone or through a financial consortium) usually focus on acquiring controlling equity interests in small-, mid- or large-capitalization companies, which are cash flow positive; such investments collectively represent a substantial majority of the capital deployed in the overall private equity market. The use of debt financing, or leverage, is prevalent in buyout transactions - particularly in the large-capitalization segment. Growth equity typically involves investments in established companies with strong growth characteristics and relatively low levels of financial leverage. Companies typically raise growth equity to accelerate organic initiatives and to execute add-on acquisitions. Types of Investment Interests
Direct Access Investments
Direct Access Investments are buyout and growth equity investments, made by the Fund on a deal-by-deal basis, through or alongside private equity funds. The Adviser will have discretion over the selection and sizing (subject to an investment cap and certain minimum investment thresholds) of each Direct Access Investment. The Fund intends to invest in Direct Access Investments through special purpose private vehicles managed by TPG. TPG has no obligation to offer any deal nor will have any role in approving the Fund’s participation in any specific Direct Access Investment.
The Fund will comply with provisions of Section 8 and Section 18 of the 1940 Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with any Controlled SPV. The Fund and any Controlled SPV will comply with provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act related to affiliated transactions and custody.
Other Types of Investment Interests
Co-investments. Co-investments represent interests in operating companies alongside new investments by private equity firms. These investments are structured such that the co-investors are passive. Co-investments are typically funded upfront, with little or no unfunded commitment, which can potentially reduce the impact of cash drag on the Fund. The Fund accesses co-investments through both Direct Access Investments alongside TPG and through syndications.
In a Direct Access co-investment, the Adviser will have discretion over the selection and sizing (subject to an investment cap) of each Direct Access co-investment offered by TPG. TPG has no obligation to offer any deal nor will have any role in approving the Fund’s participation in any specific Direct Access co-investment. In contrast, syndicated co-investments are typically only available on a fraction of an Investment Manager’s investments. These situations generally arise when an Investment Manager seeks to manage its concentration in a given deal by syndicating a portion of the equity to co-investors.
Secondary investments. Secondary investments, or “secondaries”, represent interests in operating companies or funds managed by private equity firms. Secondaries provide buyers with the opportunity to deploy capital more quickly than through primaries, which can potentially reduce the impact of cash drag on the Fund. Broadly speaking, the secondary market can be bifurcated into general partner (“GP”)-led and limited partner (“LP”)-led secondary investments.
The GP-led segment has been experiencing rapid growth. Well-established, blue-chip private equity firms are increasingly utilizing the secondary market to hold onto attractive assets longer, while also offering liquidity to existing investors in a timely manner. This development is providing private equity firms with an increasingly reliable alternative exit option for their underlying investments, aside from a sale or IPO, that allows continued participation in the value creation of assets that they already know well.
The LP-led segment typically involves an investor selling its interest in a fund(s). The buyers pay a negotiated purchase price and agree to take on any unfunded obligations in exchange for future distributions. If acquired at a discount, such transactions may generate unrealized gains when the Fund calculates its next monthly net asset value. Because LP-led secondary investments typically occur after an existing fund has deployed capital into multiple operating companies, these transactions are viewed as more mature than primary investments with shorter hold periods. There can be no assurance that any or all LP-led secondary investments made by the Fund will exhibit this pattern of investment returns, and the realization of investment gains is dependent upon the performance and disposition of each underlying investment.
The market for secondary investments may be limited, which may affect the Fund’s ability to sell certain of its assets in the secondary market. Secondary investments may be heavily negotiated and may incur additional transactions costs for the Fund.
Primary Investments. Primary investments, or “primaries”, represent interests in new funds being raised by an Investment Manager. A primary investment is made during the fundraising period in the form of a capital commitment, which is then periodically called by the fund to finance underlying investments in operating companies during a predefined period. A fund’s capital account will typically exhibit a “J curve,” undergoing a modest decline in the early portion of its lifecycle as expenses outweigh investment gains, with the trend typically reversing in the later portion of its lifecycle as underlying investments mature and are eventually realized. There can be no assurance that a primary investment made by the Fund will exhibit this pattern of investment returns and the realization of investment gains is dependent upon the performance and disposition of each underlying investment. A primary investment typically has a period before full liquidation from ten to twelve years, while underlying investments generally have a period from three to seven years.
Investment Strategies
The principal elements of the Adviser’s investment strategies include: (i) allocating the assets of the Fund to TPG private equity Investment Interests; (ii) seeking to manage the Fund’s invested level and liquidity; (iii) seeking to secure access to other Investment Interests that the Adviser believes offer attractive value; and (iv) seeking to manage risk through ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s portfolio. Asset Allocation. The Adviser seeks to diversify the Fund’s assets across investment styles, geographic regions and lifecycles through Direct Access Investments. The Fund intends to allocate at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) to Investment Interests sponsored or managed by TPG. A portion of the Fund’s assets may be allocated to Investment Interests which are not sponsored or advised by TPG.
By allocating to Investment Interests sponsored or managed by TPG, the Fund seeks to benefit from the strong performance track record, investment expertise, risk management systems, valuation protocols, operational programs, personnel, accounting practices and compliance program of TPG, which may not be available to the same extent if the Fund were, instead, to allocate its assets to Investment Interests sponsored or managed by Other Managers.
Direct Access Investments. The Adviser and its investment personnel use a range of resources to identify promising investment opportunities presented to the Fund. Direct Access Investments are buyout and growth equity investments, made by the Fund on a deal-by-deal basis, through or alongside private equity funds. The Adviser will have discretion over the selection and sizing (subject to an investment cap and certain minimum investment thresholds) of each Direct Access Investment. TPG has no obligation to offer any deal nor will have any role in approving the Fund’s participation in any specific Direct Access Investment.
The due diligence process includes a qualitative and quantitative evaluation, and risk reward analysis in the context of the Fund’s objectives and constraints. The due diligence process is led by at least one portfolio manager who is supported by a deal team. When a new Direct Access investment opportunity materializes, the deal team conducts a review of the applicable investment materials, as well as a risk-reward analysis in the context of the Fund’s objectives and constraints. If the deal team decides to recommend an investment opportunity for inclusion in the portfolio, and the portfolio managers believe the opportunity is appropriate for the Fund and well-positioned to outperform on a risk-adjusted basis, sizing determinations are made in respect of such investment.
Investment Interests. By investing in the Fund, Shareholders will have exposure to Investment Interests that are generally unavailable to the investing public due to resource requirements and high investment minimums.
The Fund expects TPG to provide information to the Fund of the type and scope (and with the same frequency) that TPG customarily provides to other co-investors, which includes a range of data points that varies on a deal-by-deal basis.
Deployment Strategy. The Adviser intends to deploy the Fund’s assets in such a manner so as to minimize the “cash drag” on the Fund’s returns as compared to its invested capital. Cash drag refers to the opportunity cost of a fund holding a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents to meet unfunded obligations, take advantage of future investment opportunities, or provide potential liquidity to shareholders. The Adviser intends to manage the Fund’s deployment strategy with a view towards balancing liquidity while maintaining a high invested level. The Fund will retain cash and cash equivalents, or have credit available via a credit facility (as discussed below), in sufficient amounts to satisfy capital calls from Investment Interests.
The deployment strategy will aim to keep the Fund substantially invested and to minimize cash drag where possible by allocating assets based on anticipated future distributions from existing underlying investments made prior to the implementation of Direct Access Investment. The deployment strategy will also take into account anticipated Fund-level cash flows, such as those relating to new subscriptions, the tender of Shares by Shareholders, and any distributions made to Shareholders that are not reinvested. To forecast underlying cash flows, the Adviser will utilize a proprietary model that incorporates historical data, actual observations, insights from TPG and projections made by the Adviser.
Risk Management. The long-term nature of private equity investments requires ongoing risk management. The Adviser will seek to maintain close contact with TPG and to monitor the performance of Investment Interests and underlying investments that are material positions in the Fund. In particular, the Adviser will seek to: track operating information and other pertinent details; participate in periodic conference calls with TPG and onsite visits where appropriate; review audited and unaudited reports; and monitor turnover in senior personnel of TPG and changes in policies; however, the Adviser does not limit investments to Investment Interests that agree to provide such information.
The Adviser will seek to use a range of techniques to reduce the risk associated with the deployment strategy. These techniques may include, without limitation:
The Fund is expected to hold liquid assets to the extent required for purposes of liquidity management. The liquid assets are intended to provide an investment return in order to mitigate “cash drag” while supporting the Fund’s investment activities and potential tender of Fund shares. Liquid assets may include both fixed income and equities as well as public and private vehicles that derive their investment returns from fixed income and equity securities. The Fund intends to invest approximately 10% of its total assets in more liquid securities, including cash and cash equivalents, affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds, and high quality fixed income securities, for cash management purposes. The Fund may borrow for investment purposes. The 1940 Act requires a registered investment company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time indebtedness occurs (the “Asset Coverage Requirement”). This means that the value of the Fund’s total indebtedness at that time may not exceed one-third of the value of its total assets, including the value of the assets purchased with the proceeds of its indebtedness.
The Adviser may from time to time (i) seek the consent of one or more Investment Managers to sell certain of the Fund’s Investment Interests or (ii) sell other Fund assets to take advantage of market conditions or to enhance the liquidity, particularly in times of possible net outflows through the tender of Shares by Shareholders.
Generally, the Adviser will seek to allocate no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets, measured at the time of investment, in any one Investment Interest. The Adviser may allocate the Fund’s assets to Investment Interests that engage in investment styles other than those described in its prospectus.
The Fund’s 80% policy with respect to investments in Investment Interests sponsored or managed by TPG is not fundamental and may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be provided with sixty (60) days’ notice in the manner prescribed by the SEC before any change in the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in the particular type of investment suggested by its name.
The Investment Interests are not subject to the Fund’s investment restrictions and are generally subject to few investment limitations. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Fund may borrow for investment purposes. The Fund has no obligation, and does not intend, to enter into any hedging transactions.
Leverage
The Fund may borrow money in connection with its investment activities — i.e., the Fund may utilize leverage. Specifically, the Fund may borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangements to manage timing issues associated with new and existing investments (e.g., to provide the Fund with temporary liquidity to allocate to new Investment Interests or to satisfy capital calls from existing Investment Interests in advance of the Fund’s receipt of proceeds from existing Investment Interests).
The 1940 Act requires a registered investment company to satisfy the Asset Coverage Requirement. The 1940 Act also requires that dividends generally may not be declared if this Asset Coverage Requirement is breached under certain circumstances. This requirement means that the value of the investment company’s total indebtedness may not exceed one third of the value of its total assets (including the indebtedness).
Investment Interests may also utilize leverage in their investment activities. Borrowings by Investment Interests are not subject to the Asset Coverage Requirement. Accordingly, the Fund’s portfolio may be exposed to the risk of highly leveraged investment programs of certain Investment Interests and the volatility of the value of Shares may be great, especially during times of a “credit crunch” and/or general market turmoil. In general, the use of leverage by Investment Interests or the Fund may increase the volatility of the Investment Interests or the Fund.

Risk Factors [Table Text Block] |
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS AND RELATED RISKS
General
The value of the Fund’s total net assets may be expected to fluctuate in response to fluctuations in the value of the Investment Interests in which the Fund invests. Discussed below are the investments generally made by Investment Interests and the principal risks that the Adviser and the Fund believe are associated with those investments. These risks will, in turn, have an effect on the Fund. The Fund does not currently intend to make other types of direct investments, except that, in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions, the Fund may invest temporarily in high quality fixed income securities, money market instruments and affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds or may hold cash or cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes. In addition, the Fund may also make these types of investments pending the investment of assets in Investment Interests or to maintain the liquidity necessary to effect repurchases of Shares. If the Fund invests temporarily in affiliated money market funds, the Adviser will waive a portion of the Management Fee so that Fund shareholders will not pay duplicate fees in respect of such investment. When the Fund takes a defensive position or otherwise makes these types of investments, it may not achieve its investment objective.
Investment Related Risks
General Economic and Market Conditions. The value of the Fund’s total net assets should be expected to fluctuate. To the extent that the Fund’s portfolio is concentrated in securities of a single issuer or issuers in a single sector, the risk of any investment decision is increased. An Investment Interest’s use of leverage is likely to cause the Fund’s average net assets to appreciate or depreciate at a greater rate than if leverage were not used.
An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the Shareholder’s entire investment may be lost. The Fund’s performance depends upon the Adviser’s selection of Investment Interests, the allocation of offering proceeds thereto and the performance of the Investment Interests. The Investment Interests’ investment activities involve the risks associated with private equity investments generally. Risks include adverse changes in national or international economic conditions, adverse local market conditions, the financial conditions of portfolio companies, changes in the availability or terms of financing, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, corporate tax rates and other operating expenses, epidemics, pandemics, governmental responses to epidemics and pandemics, environmental laws and regulations, and other governmental rules and fiscal policies, energy prices, changes in the relative popularity of certain industries or the availability of purchasers to acquire companies, and dependence on cash flow, as well as acts of God, uninsurable losses, war, terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes or floods and other factors including environmental negligence which are beyond the control of the Fund or the Investment Interests.
Unexpected volatility or lack of liquidity, such as the general market conditions that had prevailed in 2008, could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in its suffering losses.
No Operating History. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with no performance history that a Shareholder can use to evaluate the Fund’s investment performance. The initial operating expenses for a new fund, including start up costs, which may be significant, may be higher than the expenses of an established fund. In addition, the Investment Interests may, in some cases, be newly organized with limited operating histories upon which to evaluate their performance.
Concentration in TPG Investment Interests. The Fund expects to invest a substantial portion of its assets in Investment Interests managed or sponsored by TPG, and therefore may be less diversified, and more subject to concentration and reputational risk, than other funds investing in private equity interests. If the Fund determines that its focused investment strategy on TPG Investment Interests is no longer appropriate or desirable, the Fund would allocate its assets to other Investment Interests which may expose the Fund to other risks or make it more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Availability of Investment Opportunities. The business of identifying and structuring investments of the types contemplated by the Fund is competitive, and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The availability of investment opportunities generally is subject to market conditions as well as, in some cases, the prevailing regulatory or political climate. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be able to identify and complete attractive investments in the future or that it will be able to fully invest its subscriptions. Similarly, identification of attractive investment opportunities by Investment Interests is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Even if an attractive investment opportunity is identified by an Investment Manager, an Investment Interest may not be permitted to take advantage of the opportunity to the fullest extent desired. Other investment vehicles sponsored, managed or advised by the Adviser and its affiliates may seek investment opportunities similar to those the Fund may be seeking. The Adviser will allocate fairly between the Fund and such other investment vehicles any investment opportunities that may be appropriate for the Fund and such other investment vehicles.
Leverage Utilized by the Fund. The Fund may borrow money in connection with its investment activities — i.e., the Fund may utilize leverage. Specifically, the Fund may borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangements to fund investments in Investment Interests up to the limits of the Asset Coverage Requirement. The Fund may also borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangements to manage timing issues in connection with the acquisition of its investments (e.g., to provide the Fund with temporary liquidity to acquire investments in Investment Interests in advance of the Fund’s receipt of redemption proceeds from another Investment Interest). See “Investment Program—Leverage.”
The use of leverage is speculative and involves certain risks. Although leverage will increase the Fund’s investment return if the Fund’s interest in an Investment Interest purchased with borrowed funds earns a greater return than the interest expense the Fund pays for the use of those funds, the use of leverage will decrease the return on the Fund if the Fund fails to earn as much on its investment purchased with borrowed funds as it pays for the use of those funds. The use of leverage will in this way magnify the volatility of changes in the value of an investment in the Fund, especially in times of a “credit crunch” or during general market turmoil. The Fund may be required to maintain minimum average balances in connection with its borrowings or to pay a commitment or other fee to maintain a line of credit; either of these requirements would increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility into which the Fund has entered. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell its interests in Investment Interests at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.
The 1940 Act’s Asset Coverage Requirement requires a registered investment company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. This requirement means that the value of the investment company’s total indebtedness may not exceed one third of the value of its total assets (including the indebtedness) at that time. The 1940 Act also requires that dividends generally may not be declared if this Asset Coverage Requirement is breached under certain circumstances. Private Equity Investments. Private equity is a common term for equity investments that are typically made in private or public companies through privately negotiated transactions, and generally involve equity-related finance intended to bring about some kind of change in an operating company (e.g., providing growth capital, recapitalizing a company or financing an acquisition). Private equity funds, often organized as limited partnerships, are the most common vehicles for making private equity investments, although the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in Direct Access Investments. The investments held by private equity funds and Direct Access Investments made by the Fund involve the same types of risks associated with an investment in any operating company. However, securities of private equity funds, as well as the underlying companies these funds invest in, tend to be more illiquid, and highly speculative. Private equity has generally been dependent on the availability of debt or equity financing to fund the acquisitions of their investments. Depending on market conditions, however, the availability of such financing may be reduced dramatically, limiting the ability of private equity funds to obtain the required financing or reducing their expected rate of return.
The regulatory environment for Investment Interests continues to evolve, and changes in the regulation of Investment Interests adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments and the ability of the Fund to implement its investment strategy (including the use of leverage). The financial services industry generally and the activities of Investment Interests and their investment advisers, in particular, have been the subject of increasing legislative and regulatory scrutiny. Such scrutiny may increase the Fund’s and/or the Adviser’s legal, compliance, administrative and other related burdens and costs as well as regulatory oversight or involvement in the Fund and/or the Adviser’s business. There can be no assurances that the Fund or the Adviser will not in the future be subject to regulatory review or discipline. The effects of any regulatory changes or developments on the Fund may affect the manner in which it is managed and may be substantial and adverse.
Special Situations and Distressed Investments. The Investment Interests may invest in securities and other obligations of companies that are in special situations involving significant financial or business distress, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings. Although such investments may result in significant returns, they involve a substantial degree of risk. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful investment in distressed assets is unusually high. There is no assurance that an Investment Interest will correctly evaluate the value of the assets securing the Investment Interest’s debt investments or the prospects for a successful reorganization or similar action in respect of any company. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a company in which an Investment Interest invests, the Investment Interest may lose its entire investment, may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than the Investment Interest’s original investment and/or may be required to accept payment over an extended period of time. Troubled company investments and other distressed asset-based investments require active monitoring.
Venture Capital. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in venture capital. Venture capital is usually classified by investments in private companies that have a limited operating history, are attempting to develop or commercialize unproven technologies or implement novel business plans or are not otherwise developed sufficiently to be self-sustaining financially or to become public. Although these investments may offer the opportunity for significant gains, such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses, which risks generally are greater than the risks of investing in public companies that may be at a later stage of development.
Real Estate Investments. The Fund may be exposed to real estate risk through its allocation to real estate Investment Interests. Real estate Investment Interests are subject to risks associated with the ownership of real estate, including (i) changes in the general economic climate (such as changes in interest rates), (ii) local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for space), (iii) the quality and philosophy of management, (iv) competition (such as competition based on rental rates), (v) specific features of properties (such as location), (vi) financial condition of tenants, buyers and sellers of properties, (vii) quality of maintenance, insurance and management services, (viii) changes in operating costs, (ix) government regulations (including those governing usage, improvements, zoning and taxes), (x) the availability of financing and (xi) potential liability under environmental and other laws (such as successor liability if investing in existing entities). Certain of these developments could result from, among other things, changing tastes and preferences (such as for remote work arrangements) as well as cultural, technological, global or local economic and market developments. In addition, changing interest rate environments and associated changes in lending standards and higher refinancing rates may adversely affect real estate markets. The occurrence of any of the foregoing developments would likely increase default risk for the properties and loans underlying these investments as well as impact the value of, and income generated by, these investments. These developments could also result in reduced liquidity for real estate Investment Interests and other real estate-related investments. Some real estate Investment Interests may invest in a limited number of properties, in a narrow geographic area, or in a single property type, which increases the risk that such real estate fund could be unfavorably affected by the poor performance of a single investment or investment type. These companies are also sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Borrowers could default on or sell investments that a real estate fund holds, which could reduce the cash flow needed to make distributions to investors. In addition, real estate Investment Interests may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements impacting the real estate fund’s ability to qualify for preferential tax treatments or exemptions.
Geographic Concentration Risks. An Investment Interest may concentrate its investments in specific geographic regions. This focus may constrain the liquidity and the number of portfolio companies available for investment by an Investment Interest. In addition, the investments of such an Investment Interest will be disproportionately exposed to the risks associated with the region of concentration. Emerging Markets. Some Investment Interests may invest in portfolio companies located in emerging industrialized or less developed countries. Risks particularly relevant to such emerging markets may include greater dependence on exports and the corresponding importance of international trade, higher risk of inflation, more extensive controls on foreign investment and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, increased likelihood of governmental involvement in, and control over, the economies, decisions by the relevant government to cease its support of economic reform programs or to impose restrictions, and less established laws and regulations regarding fiduciary duties of officers and directors and protection of investors.
Sanctions. Certain portfolio companies may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions, tariffs, embargos or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government, foreign governments, or the United Nations or other international organizations. Changes in political conditions and the political administration of trading counterparties may increase the risk of the imposition of sanctions, tariffs or other adverse trading policies.
Sector Concentration. An Investment Interest may concentrate its investments in specific industry sectors. This focus may constrain the liquidity and the number of portfolio companies available for investment by an Investment Interest. In addition, the investments of such an Investment Interest will be disproportionately exposed to the risks associated with the industry sectors of concentration.
Utilities and Energy Sectors. Energy companies may be significantly affected by outdated technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, market competition and risks associated with using hazardous materials. Energy companies may also be negatively affected by legislation that results in stricter government regulations and enforcement policies or specific expenditures. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in portfolio companies in the utilities sector, thereby exposing the Investment Interest to risks associated with this sector. Rates charged by traditional regulated utility companies are generally subject to review and limitation by governmental regulatory commissions, and the timing of rate changes will adversely affect such companies’ earnings and dividends when costs are rising.
Infrastructure Sector. Some Investment Interests may concentrate in the infrastructure sector. Infrastructure companies may be susceptible to reduced investment in public and private infrastructure projects, and a slowdown in new infrastructure projects in developing or developed markets may constrain the abilities of infrastructure companies to grow in global markets. Other developments, such as significant changes in population levels or changes in the urbanization and industrialization of developing countries, may reduce demand for products or services provided by infrastructure companies.
Technology Sector. Certain technology companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or may depend on a limited management group. In addition, these companies are strongly affected by worldwide technological developments, and their products and services may not be economically successful or may quickly become outdated.
Financial Sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may limit the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability of such companies is generally dependent on the availability and cost of capital, and can fluctuate as a result of increased competition or changing interest rates. In addition, events in the financial sector over the past several years have resulted in reduced liquidity in credit and a high degree of volatility in the financial markets. This situation has negatively affected many financial services companies, such as by causing such companies’ values to decline.
Mezzanine Investments. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in mezzanine loans. Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants. Due to their higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans, mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine loans also may include a “put” feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed-upon formula. Mezzanine investments may be issued with or without registration rights. Similar to other high yield securities, maturities of mezzanine investments are typically seven to ten years, but the expected average life is significantly shorter at three to five years. Mezzanine investments are usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of an issuer.
Currency Risk. Investment Interests may include direct and indirect investments in a number of different currencies. Any returns on, and the value of such investments may, therefore, be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations, local exchange control, limited liquidity of the relevant foreign exchange markets, the convertibility of the currencies in question and/or other factors. A decline in the value of the currencies in which the Fund’s or Investment Interest’s investments are denominated against the U.S. dollar may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net asset value. The Adviser will not elect to hedge the value of investments made by the Fund against currency fluctuations. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected by such currency fluctuations. Inflation Risk. The Investment Interests may be subject to inflation risk, which is the risk that the real value (i.e., nominal price of the asset adjusted for inflation) of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the purchasing power and value of money (i.e., as inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline). Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy and changes in monetary or economic policies (or expectations that these policies may change), and the Fund’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which would generally adversely affect the real value of Shareholders’ investment in the Fund. This risk is greater for fixed-income instruments with longer maturities. In addition, this risk may be significantly elevated compared to normal conditions because of recent monetary policy measures and the current interest rate environment.
Force Majeure Risk. Investment Interests may be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond the control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any other serious public health concern, war, terrorism and labor strikes). Some force majeure events may adversely affect the ability of a party (including an Investment Interest or a counterparty to the Fund or an Investment Interest) to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy the force majeure event. In addition, the cost to an Investment Interest or the Fund of repairing or replacing damaged assets resulting from such force majeure event could be considerable. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an infectious disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international business activity generally, or in any of the countries in which the Fund may invest specifically. Additionally, a major governmental intervention into industry, including the nationalization of an industry or the assertion of control over one or more Investment Interests or its assets, could result in a loss to the Fund, including if its investment in such Investment Interest is canceled, unwound or acquired (which could be without what the Fund considers to be adequate compensation). Any of the foregoing may therefore adversely affect the performance of the Fund and its investments.
Risks Related to Investment Interests
Nature of Portfolio Companies. The Investment Interests will include direct and indirect investments in various companies, ventures and businesses. This may include portfolio companies in the early phases of development, which can be highly risky due to the lack of a significant operating history, fully developed product lines, experienced management, or a proven market for their products. The Fund’s investments may also include portfolio companies that are in a state of distress or which have a poor record and which are undergoing restructuring or changes in management, and there can be no assurances that such restructuring or changes will be successful. The management of such portfolio companies may depend on one or two key individuals, and the loss of the services of any of such individuals may adversely affect the performance of such portfolio companies.
Co-Investments. The Fund makes direct investments in the equity and/or debt securities of private companies, including through or alongside private equity funds and other private equity firms. The Fund’s ability to realize a profit on such investments will be particularly reliant on the expertise of the Investment Managers, including to the extent they serve as the lead investor in the transaction. There can be no assurance that any specific co-investment offered to the Fund would be appropriate or attractive to the Fund in the Adviser’s judgment. The market for co-investment opportunities is competitive and may be limited, and the co-investment opportunities to which the Fund wishes to allocate assets may not be available at any given time. Due diligence is conducted on co-investment opportunities; however, the Adviser may not have the ability to conduct the same level of due diligence applied to other investments. In addition, the Adviser may have little to no opportunities to negotiate the terms of such co-investments.
Non-U.S. Risk. Certain of the Investment Interests may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in foreign portfolio companies that do not maintain internal management accounts or adopt financial budgeting, internal audit or internal control procedures to standards normally expected of companies in the United States. Accordingly, information supplied to the Fund and the Investment Interests may be incomplete, inaccurate and/or significantly delayed. The Fund and the Investment Interests may therefore be unable to take or influence timely actions necessary to rectify management deficiencies in such portfolio companies, which may ultimately have an adverse impact on the net asset value of the Fund.
Valuation of the Fund’s Investment Interests. The valuation of the Fund’s investments in Investment Interests is ordinarily determined based upon estimated valuations provided by the Investment Interests on a monthly basis. The Fund will also provide valuations, and will issue Shares, on a monthly basis. The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee for purposes of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser will oversee the valuation of the Fund’s investments on behalf of the Fund. A large percentage of the securities in which the Investment Interests invest will not have a readily ascertainable market price and will be fair valued by the Investment Interest. In this regard, an Investment Interest may face a conflict of interest in valuing the securities, as their value may affect the Investment Interest’s compensation or its ability to raise additional funds. No assurances can be given regarding the valuation methodology or the sufficiency of systems utilized by any Investment Interest, the accuracy of the valuations provided by the Investment Interests, that the Investment Interests will comply with their own internal policies or procedures for keeping records or making valuations, or that the Investment Interests’ policies and procedures and systems will not change without notice to the Fund. To the extent that the Fund does not receive timely information from the Investment Interests regarding their valuations, the Fund’s ability to accurately calculation its net asset value may impaired. As a result, an Investment Interest’s valuation of the securities may fail to match the amount ultimately realized with respect to the disposition of such securities.
An Investment Interest’s information could also be inaccurate due to fraudulent activity, misvaluation or inadvertent error. The Fund may not uncover errors in valuation for a significant period of time, if ever. Valuations Subject to Adjustment. The Adviser determines its month-end net asset value based upon the monthly valuations reported by the Investment Interests, which may not reflect market or other events occurring subsequent to the month-end. The Adviser will fair value the holdings in Investment Interests to reflect such events, consistent with its valuation policies; however, there is no guarantee the Adviser will correctly fair value such investments. Additionally, the valuations reported by Investment Interests may be subject to later adjustment or revision. For example, fiscal year-end net asset value calculations of the Investment Interests may be revised as a result of audits by their independent auditors. Other adjustments may occur from time to time. Because such adjustments or revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of the Fund, and therefore the Fund, at the time they occur, relate to information available only at the time of the adjustment or revision, the adjustment or revision may not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased prior to such adjustments and received their repurchase proceeds. As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the Investment Interests or revisions to the net asset value of an Investment Interest or direct private equity investment adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, the remaining outstanding Shares may be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations may be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Shares and to the detriment of Shareholders who previously had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Shares. New Shareholders may be affected in a similar way.
Illiquidity of Investment Interests. There is no regular market for interest in Investment Interests, which typically must be sold in privately negotiated transactions. Any such sales would likely require the consent of the applicable Investment Interest and could occur at a discount to the stated net asset value. If the Adviser determines to cause the Fund to sell its interests in an Investment Interest, the Fund may be unable to sell such interests quickly, if at all, and could therefore be obligated to continue to hold such interests for an extended period of time.
Indemnification of Investment Interests, Investment Managers and Others. The Fund may agree to indemnify certain of the Investment Interests and their respective managers, officers, directors, and affiliates from any liability, damage, cost, or expense arising out of, among other things, acts or omissions undertaken in connection with the management of Investment Interests. If the Fund were required to make payments (or return distributions) in respect of any such indemnity, the Fund could be materially adversely affected. Indemnification of sellers of secondaries may be required as a condition to purchasing such securities.
Termination of the Fund’s Interest in an Investment Interest. An Investment Interest may, among other things, terminate the Fund’s interest in that Investment Interest (causing a forfeiture of all or a portion of such interest) if the Fund fails to satisfy any capital call by that Investment Interest or if the continued participation of the Fund in the Investment Interest would have a material adverse effect on the Investment Interest or its assets.
General Risks of Secondary Investments. The overall performance of the Fund’s secondary investments will depend in large part on the acquisition price paid, which may be negotiated based on incomplete or imperfect information. Certain secondary investments may be purchased as a portfolio, and in such cases the Fund may not be able to carve out from such purchases those investments that the Adviser considers (for commercial, tax, legal or other reasons) less attractive. Where the Fund acquires an interest in an Investment Interest as a secondary investment, the Fund will generally not have the ability to modify or amend such Investment Interest’s constituent documents (e.g., limited partnership agreements) or otherwise negotiate the economic terms of the interests being acquired. In addition, the costs and resources required to investigate the commercial, tax and legal issues relating to secondary investments may be greater than those relating to primary investments. Additionally, where the Fund acquires an interest in an Investment Interest as a secondary investment, the Fund may acquire contingent liabilities associated with such interest. Specifically, where the seller received distributions from the relevant Investment Interest and, subsequently, that Investment Interest recalls any portion of such distributions, the Fund (as the purchaser of the interest to which such distributions are attributable) may be obligated to pay an amount equivalent to such distributions to such Investment Interest. While the Fund may be able, in turn, to make a claim against the seller of the interest for any monies so paid to the Investment Interest, there can be no assurance that the Fund would have such right or prevail in any such claim.
Other Registered Investment Companies. The Fund may invest in the securities of other registered investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and permissible under the 1940 Act. Under one provision of the 1940 Act, the Fund may not acquire the securities of other registered investment companies if, as a result, (i) more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of other registered investment companies, (ii) such purchase would result in more than 3% of the total outstanding voting securities of any one registered investment company being held by the Fund or (iii) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in any one registered investment company, except as otherwise permitted by applicable regulations. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of other investment companies, will bear its pro rata portion of the other investment companies’ expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses will be in addition to the direct expenses incurred by the Fund.
Investments in Non-Voting Stock; Inability to Vote. The Fund intends to hold its interests in the Investment Interests in nonvoting form or limit its voting rights to a certain percentage. Where only voting securities are available for purchase, the Fund will generally seek to create by contract the same result as owning a non-voting security by agreeing to relinquish or limit the right to vote in respect of its investment. The Fund will not receive any consideration in return for entering into a voting waiver arrangement. To the extent that the Fund contractually foregoes the right to vote Investment Interest securities, the Fund will not be able to vote or may be able to vote only to a limited extent on matters that may be adverse to the Fund’s interests. As a result, the Fund’s influence on an Investment Interest could be diminished, which may consequently adversely affect the Fund and its Shareholders. Limited Operating History of Fund Investments. Many of the Investment Interests may have limited operating histories and the information the Fund will obtain about such investments may be limited. As such, the ability of the Adviser to evaluate past performance or to validate the investment mandates of such Investment Interests will be limited.
Competition in the Technology Sector; New Technologies. Many of the areas in which certain Investment Interests and their portfolio companies are expected to participate evolve rapidly with changing and disruptive technologies, shifting user needs, and frequent introductions of new products and services. Competitors of the portfolio companies will range in size from diversified global companies with significant research and development resources to small, specialized firms whose narrower product lines may enable them to be more effective in deploying technical, marketing and/or financial resources. Barriers to entry in the technology industry are low, and technology products can be distributed broadly and quickly at relatively low cost. In addition, the emerging nature and rapid evolution of technology products and services generally require portfolio companies in the technology industry to continually improve the performance, features and reliability of their products and/or services, particularly in response to competitive offerings. There can be no assurance that portfolio companies will be successful in building or acquiring new equipment and other assets, upgrading existing equipment or achieving widespread acceptance of their products and/or services before competitors offer products and services with similar or improved performance, features and reliability. The widespread introduction and/or adoption of new technologies or standards could require substantial expenditures by such portfolio companies to modify or adapt their products or services. To the extent that certain sectors experience rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies, as a result of technological advancements or new products or services from competitors, portfolio companies may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressure may result in significant downward pressure on pricing and force portfolio companies to implement new technologies at a substantial cost. Such expenditures may negatively affect the profitability of such portfolio companies and, in turn, the Fund’s operating results and performance.
Smaller Capitalization Issuers. Investment Interests may invest in smaller capitalization companies, including micro cap companies. Investments in smaller capitalization companies often involve significantly greater risks than the securities of larger, better- known companies because they may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The prices of the securities of smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies, as these securities typically are less liquid, traded in lower volume and the issuers typically are more subject to changes in earnings and prospects. In addition, when selling large positions in small capitalization securities, the seller may have to sell holdings at discounts from quoted prices or may have to make a series of small sales over a period of time.
High Yield Securities and Distressed Securities. While the Fund will not invest a substantial portion of its assets in such investments, Investment Interests may invest in fixed income securities rated investment grade or non-investment grade (commonly referred to as high yield securities or “junk bonds”) and may invest in unrated fixed income securities. Non-investment grade securities are fixed income securities rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), or if unrated considered by an Investment Manager to be equivalent quality. Non-investment grade debt securities in the lowest rating categories or unrated debt securities determined to be of comparable quality may involve a substantial risk of default or may be in default. An Investment Interest’s investments in non-investment grade securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. Non- investment grade securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly indebted than other companies, and therefore they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. Non- investment grade securities are subject to greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated securities and may be considered speculative. Non-investment grade securities may experience reduced liquidity, and sudden and substantial decreases in price. An economic downturn affecting an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities may result in an increased incidence of default. In the event of a default, an Investment Interest may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. In addition, the market for lower grade debt securities may be thinner and less active than for higher grade debt securities.
Certain of the companies in whose securities the Investment Interests may invest may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These characteristics of these companies can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These companies’ securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the companies to pay their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic climate, economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the companies. These securities may also present a substantial risk of default. An Investment Interest’s investment in any instrument is subject to no minimum credit standard and a significant portion of the obligations and preferred stock in which an Investment Interest may invest may be less than investment grade (commonly referred to as junk bonds), which may result in the Investment Interest experiencing greater risks than it would if investing in higher rated instruments. Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve a sale of a security by an Investment Interest to a bank or securities dealer and the Investment Interest’s simultaneous agreement to repurchase the security for a fixed price (reflecting a market rate of interest) on a specific date. These transactions involve a risk that the other party to a reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to the Investment Interest. Reverse repurchase transactions are a form of leverage that may also increase the volatility of an Investment Interest’s investment portfolio.
Other Instruments and Future Developments. An Investment Interest may take advantage of opportunities in the area of swaps, options on various underlying instruments, and certain other customized “synthetic” or derivative instruments, which will be subject to varying degrees of risk. In addition, an Investment Interest may take advantage of opportunities with respect to certain other “synthetic” or derivative instruments which are not presently contemplated, or which are not presently available, but which may be developed and which may be subject to significant degrees of risk.
OTHER RISKS
Investing in the Fund involves risks other than those associated with investments made by Investment Interests, including those described below:
Dilution. The Fund may accept additional subscriptions for Shares as determined by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. Additional purchases will dilute the indirect interests of existing Shareholders in the Fund’s investments prior to such purchases, which could have an adverse impact on the existing Shareholders’ interests in the Fund if subsequent investments underperform the prior investments.
Non-Diversified Status. The Fund is a “non-diversified” investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means that it is not subject to percentage limitations under the 1940 Act on the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of any one issuer. The Fund’s net asset value may therefore be subject to greater volatility than that of an investment company that is subject to such a limitation on diversification. In addition, while the Fund is a “non-diversified” fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to elect to be treated and to qualify annually as a RIC under the Code. To qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must, among other things, (i) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and net income from interests in “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (as defined in the Code); and (ii) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year, (A) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund’s assets is represented by cash, cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for the purposes of this calculation to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (B) not more than 25% of the market value of the Fund’s total assets is invested in the securities (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other regulated investment companies) of (1) any one issuer, (2) any two or more issuers that the Fund controls and that are determined to be engaged in the same business or similar or related trades or businesses, or (3) any one or more “qualified publicly traded partnerships.”
Substantial Fees and Expenses. A Shareholder in the Fund that meets the eligibility conditions imposed by one or more Investment Interests, including minimum initial investment requirements that may be substantially higher than those imposed by the Fund, could potentially invest directly in primaries of such Investment Interests. By investing in the Investment Interests through the Fund, a Shareholder in the Fund will bear a portion of the Management Fee and other expenses of the Fund. A Shareholder in the Fund will also indirectly bear a portion of the asset-based fees, carried interests or incentive allocations (which are a share of an Investment Interest’s returns which are paid to an Investment Manager) and fees and expenses borne by the Fund as an investor in the Investment Interests. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an Investment Interest that is itself a “fund of funds,” the Fund will bear a third layer of fees. Each Investment Manager receives any incentive-based allocations to which it is entitled irrespective of the performance of the other Investment Interests and the Fund generally. As a result, an Investment Interest with positive performance may receive compensation from the Fund, even if the Fund’s overall returns are negative.
Incentive Allocation Arrangements. Each Investment Manager may receive a performance fee, carried interest or incentive allocation generally equal to 20% of the net profits earned by the Investment Interest that it manages, and in certain cases subject to a preferred return. These performance incentives may create an incentive for the Investment Managers to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than those that might have been made in the absence of the performance fee, carried interest, or incentive allocation.
Control Positions. Investment Interests may take control positions in companies. The exercise of control over a company imposes additional risks of liability for environmental damage, product defects, failure to supervise and other types of liability related to business operations. In addition, the act of taking a control position, or seeking to take such a position, may itself subject an Investment Interest to litigation by parties interested in blocking it from taking that position. If those liabilities were to arise, or such litigation were to be resolved adversely to the Investment Interests, the investing Investment Interests likely would suffer losses on their investments.
Inadequate Return. No assurance can be given that the returns on the Fund’s investments will be commensurate with the risk of investment in the Fund. Shareholders should not commit money to the Fund unless they have the resources to sustain the loss of their entire investment in the Fund. Inside Information. From time to time, the Fund or its affiliates may come into possession of material, non-public information concerning an entity in which the Fund has invested, or proposes to invest. Possession of that information may limit the ability of the Fund to buy or sell securities of the entity.
Recourse to the Fund’s Assets. The Fund’s assets, including any investments made by the Fund and any interest in the Investment Interests held by the Fund, are available to satisfy all liabilities and other obligations of the Fund. If the Fund becomes subject to a liability, parties seeking to have the liability satisfied may have recourse to the Fund’s assets generally and not be limited to any particular asset, such as the asset representing the investment giving rise to the liability.
Possible Exclusion of a Shareholder Based on Certain Detrimental Effects. The Fund may repurchase and/or redeem Shares in accordance with the terms of its Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the 1940 Act, including Rule 23c-2, held by a Shareholder or other person acquiring Shares from or through a Shareholder, if:
The effect of these provisions may be to deprive an investor in the Fund of an opportunity for a return even though other investors in the Fund might enjoy such a return.
Shares Not Listed; No Market for Class A Shares, Class I Shares or Class F Shares. No market currently exists for Class A Shares, Class I Shares or Class F Shares, and the Fund contemplates that one will not develop. The Shares are, therefore, not readily marketable. Although the Adviser and the Fund expect to recommend to the Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares quarterly, no assurances can be given that the Fund will do so and, in any case, repurchases will not begin until one year after the Fund has commenced operations. Consequently, Class A Shares, Class I Shares and Class F Shares should only be acquired by investors able to commit their funds for an indefinite period of time.
Closed-end Fund; Liquidity Risks. The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company designed primarily for long-term investors and is not intended to be a trading vehicle. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis at a price based on net asset value.
Repurchase Risks. The Fund has no obligation to repurchase Shares at any time; any such repurchases will only be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. With respect to any future repurchase offer, Shareholders tendering any Shares for repurchase must do so by a date specified in the notice describing the terms of the repurchase offer (the “Notice Date”). The Notice Date generally will be seven days prior to the date as of which the Shares to be repurchased are valued by the Fund (the “Valuation Date”). Tenders will be revocable upon written notice to the Fund until the date specified in the terms of the repurchase offer (the “Expiration Date”). The Expiration Date generally will be four days prior to the Valuation Date. Shareholders that elect to tender any Shares for repurchase will not know the price at which such Shares will be repurchased until the Fund’s net asset value as of the Valuation Date is able to be determined, which determination is expected to be able to be made only late in the month following that of the Valuation Date. It is possible that during the time period between the Notice Date and the Valuation Date, general economic and market conditions, or specific events affecting one or more underlying Investment Interests, could cause a decline in the value of Shares in the Fund. Shareholders who require minimum annual distributions from a retirement account through which they hold Shares should consider the Fund’s schedule for repurchase offers and submit repurchase requests accordingly and should consider the Fund’s limited liquidity in making a decision to invest in the Fund. Each repurchase offer is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees in its sole discretion. In addition, the Fund’s investments in Investments Funds are subject to lengthy lock-up periods where the Fund will not be able to dispose of such investments except through secondary transactions with third parties, which may occur at a significant discount to NAV and which may not be available at any given time. There is no assurance that third parties will engage in such secondary transactions and the Fund may require and be unable to obtain the Investment Interest’s consent to effect such transactions. The Fund may need to suspend or postpone repurchase offers if it is not able to dispose of its interests in Investment Interests in a timely manner. See “Repurchases of Shares.” Distributions In-Kind. The Fund generally expects to distribute to the holder of Shares that are repurchased a promissory note entitling such holder to the payment of cash in satisfaction of such repurchase. However, There can be no assurance that the Fund will have sufficient cash to pay for Shares that are being repurchased or that it will be able to liquidate Investments at favorable prices to pay for repurchased Shares. The Fund has the right to distribute securities as payment for repurchased Shares in unusual circumstances, including if making a cash payment would result in a material adverse effect on the Fund. For example, it is possible that the Fund may receive securities from an Investment Interest that are illiquid or difficult to value. In such circumstances, the Adviser would seek to dispose of these securities in a manner that is in the best interests of the Fund, which may include a distribution in-kind to the Fund’s Shareholders. In the event that the Fund makes such a distribution of securities, Shareholders will bear any risks of the distributed securities and may be required to pay a brokerage commission or other costs in order to dispose of such securities.
Substantial Repurchases. Substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase Shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable in order to raise cash to fund the repurchases and achieve a market position appropriately reflecting a smaller asset base. This could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
To the extent the Fund obtains repurchase proceeds by disposing of its interest in certain Investment Interests, the Fund will thereafter hold a larger proportion of its assets in the remaining Investment Interests, some of whose interests at times may be less liquid or illiquid. This could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to fund subsequent repurchase requests of Shareholders or to conduct future repurchases at all. In addition, after giving effect to such dispositions, the remaining Investment Interests may not reflect the Adviser’s ideal judgments as to the desired portfolio composition of the Fund’s Investment Interests, in that the Fund’s performance may be tied to the performance of fewer Investment Interests and/or may not reflect the Adviser’s judgment as to the Fund’s optimal exposure to particular asset classes or investment mandates. These consequences may be particularly applicable if the Fund received requests to repurchase substantial amounts of Shares, and may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Shares. In addition, substantial repurchases of Shares could result in a sizeable decrease in the Fund’s net assets, resulting in an increase in the Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio.
Special Tax Risks. Special tax risks are associated with an investment in the Fund. The Fund intends to satisfy the requirements each taxable year necessary to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As such, the Fund must satisfy, among other requirements, certain ongoing asset diversification, source-of-income and annual distribution requirements. Each of these ongoing requirements for qualification for the favorable tax treatment available to RICs requires that the Fund obtain information from the Investment Interests in which the Fund is invested.
Some of the income that the Fund may earn directly or through an Investment Interest, such as income recognized from an equity investment in an operating partnership, may not satisfy the gross income test. To manage the risk that such income might jeopardize the Fund’s tax status as a RIC resulting from a failure to satisfy the gross income test, one or more subsidiary entities treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be employed to earn such income and (if applicable) hold the related investment. Such subsidiary entities generally will be required to incur entity-level income taxes on their earnings, which ultimately will reduce the return to Shareholders.
If before the end of any quarter of its taxable year, the Fund believes that it may fail any of the asset diversification requirements, the Fund may seek to take certain actions to avert such a failure. However, certain actions typically taken by RICs to avert such a failure (e.g., the disposition of assets causing the diversification discrepancy) may be difficult for the Fund to pursue because the Fund may redeem its interest in an Investment Interest only at certain times specified by the governing documents of each respective Investment Interest. While the Code ordinarily affords the Fund a 30-day period after the end of the relevant quarter in which to cure a diversification failure by disposing of non-diversified assets, the constraints on the Fund’s ability to effect a redemption from an Investment Interest referred to above may limit utilization of this cure period.
If the Fund fails to satisfy the asset diversification or other RIC requirements, it may lose its status as a RIC under the Code. In that case, all of its taxable income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to Shareholders. In addition, all distributions (including distributions of net capital gain) to Shareholders would be characterized as dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, disqualification as a RIC would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s Shares and the amount of the Fund’s distributions. Additional Tax Considerations; Distributions to Shareholders and Potential Fund-Level Tax Liabilities. The Fund expects to distribute substantially all of its net ordinary income and net capital gains to Shareholders. These distributions are respectively characterized as ordinary dividend income or long-term capital gain when distributed as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Shareholders. The Fund will inform Shareholders of the amount and character of its distributions to Shareholders. See “Tax Aspects” below for more information. If the Fund distributes (or is deemed to have distributed) in respect of any calendar year less than an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of its calendar year ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), 98.2% of its capital gain net income (determined on the basis of a one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year, and adjusted for certain ordinary losses), plus any such amounts that were not distributed in previous calendar years, then the Fund will generally be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax with respect to the Fund’s undistributed amounts. The Fund will not be subject to this excise tax on any amount which the Fund incurred an entity-level U.S. federal income tax.
The Fund may be required to recognize items of taxable income and gain prior to the time that any corresponding cash distributions are made to or by the Fund and certain Investment Interests. In addition, the Fund may invest in Investment Interests located outside of the U.S. or other non-U.S. portfolio company or entities which may be considered passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) or controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Fund may, in a particular taxable year, be required to make ordinary income distributions in excess of the net economic income from such investments with respect to such taxable year. Furthermore, income or gain from such Investment Interests or other entities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding or other taxes. Any such withholding or other taxes would reduce the return on the Fund’s investment in such Investment Interests and thus on the Shareholders’ investment in the Fund. See “Tax Aspects.”
Change in Tax Laws. Each prospective investor should be aware that tax laws and regulations are changing on an ongoing basis, and such laws and/or regulations may be changed with retroactive effect. Moreover, the interpretation and/or application of tax laws and regulations by certain tax authorities may not be clear, consistent or transparent. Uncertainty in the tax law may require the Fund and/or an Investment Interest to accrue potential tax liabilities even in situations in which the Fund does not expect to be ultimately subject to such tax liabilities.
The impact of new legislation on Shareholders, the Fund, the Investment Interests and the entities through which the Investment Interests invest is uncertain. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of the new legislation on an investment in the Fund.
Regulatory Change. Legal and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Fund, which may materially adversely affect the Fund. In addition, legislation or regulation may change the way in which the Fund is regulated. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or will not impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
The rules under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) require that the Adviser either operate within certain guidelines and restrictions with respect to the Fund’s use of futures, options on such futures, commodity options and certain swaps, or be subject to registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) with respect to the Fund or be required to operate the Fund in compliance with certain disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The Adviser has elected to claim an exclusion from the definition of CPO with respect to the Fund. If the Adviser and the Fund become subject to CFTC regulation, as well as related National Futures Association rules, the Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses.
Cyber security risk. As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund, like all companies, have become more susceptible to operational, information security and related risks through breaches in cyber security. In general, cyber security failures or breaches of the Fund or its service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding), but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security failures or breaches affecting the Adviser, the Investment Managers, any subadvisor and other service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, destruction to equipment and systems, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber security breaches in the future.
While the Fund has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cybersecurity breaches, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund does not directly control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. |

STRUCTURE
Private investment vehicles, such as private equity funds, are commingled asset pools that typically offer their securities privately, without registering such securities under the 1933 Act (“Investment Funds”). Investment Funds typically offer their securities in large minimum denominations (often at least $5 million to $20 million) to a limited number of high net worth individual and institutional investors. Investment Funds are excluded from the definition of “investment company,” and hence are not registered as investment companies, under the 1940 Act. The managers or investment advisers of these funds are usually compensated through asset-based fees and incentive-based fees. Registered closed-end investment companies are typically organized as corporations, business trusts, limited partnerships or limited liability companies that generally are managed more conservatively than most Investment Funds due to certain requirements imposed by the 1940 Act and, with respect to those registered closed-end investment companies that qualify as RICs under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”). These registered companies often impose relatively modest minimum investment requirements and publicly offer their shares to a broader range of investors, in contrast to the higher minimum investment amounts and limited range of investors which, as set forth above, characterize the offerings of Investment Funds’ securities. The advisers to registered closed-end investment companies are typically compensated through asset-based fees. |

Security Dividends [Text Block] |
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
Dividends will generally be paid at least annually on the Shares in amounts representing substantially all of the net investment income, if any, earned each year. Payments will vary in amount, depending on investment income received and expenses of operation. It is likely that many of the Investment Interests in whose securities the Fund invests will not pay any dividends, and this, together with the Fund’s relatively high expenses, means that there can be no assurance the Fund will have substantial income or pay dividends. The Fund is not a suitable investment for any investor who requires regular dividend income.
It is anticipated that substantially all of any taxable net capital gain realized on investments will be paid to Shareholders at least annually. The net asset value of each Share that you own will be reduced by the amount of the distributions or dividends that you receive from that Share. Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Pursuant to the DRIP, each Shareholder whose Shares are registered in its own name will automatically be a participant under the DRIP and have all income dividends and/or capital gains distributions automatically reinvested in additional Shares unless such Shareholder specifically elects to receive all income, dividends and/or capital gain distributions in cash. A Shareholder is free to change this election at any time by writing to Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC at PO Box 46707 Cincinnati, OH 45246. If, however, a Shareholder requests to change its election within 45 days prior to a distribution, the request will be effective only with respect to distributions after the 45 day period. A Shareholder whose Shares are registered in the name of a nominee must contact the nominee regarding its status under the DRIP, including whether such nominee will participate on such Shareholder’s behalf.
A Shareholder may elect to:
Generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Shareholders receiving Shares under the DRIP will be treated as having received a distribution equal to the amount payable to them in cash as a distribution had the Shareholder not participated in the DRIP.
Shares will be issued pursuant to the DRIP at their net asset value determined on the next valuation date following the ex- dividend date (the last date of a dividend period on which an investor can purchase Shares and still be entitled to receive the dividend). Participating Shareholders may be issued fractional Shares so that 100% of the distribution will be used to acquire Shares. There is no sales load or other charge for reinvestment. A request must be received by the Fund before the record date to be effective for that dividend or capital gain distribution. The Fund may terminate the DRIP at any time. Any expenses of the DRIP will be borne by the Fund.
All correspondence or questions concerning the DRIP should be directed to the Administrator, Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, by telephone, 1-833-640-7393, or in writing to Regular Mail: C/O Ultimus Fund Solutions PO Box 46707 Cincinnati, OH 45246 or via Overnight Mail: C/O Ultimus Fund Solutions 225 Pictoria Dr, Suite 450, Cincinnati, OH 45246. |

Security Voting Rights [Text Block] |
VOTING
Each Shareholder has the right to cast a number of votes equal to the number of Shares held by such Shareholder at a meeting of Shareholders called by the Board of Trustees. Shareholders will be entitled to vote on any matter on which shareholders of a registered investment company organized as a corporation would be entitled to vote, including certain elections of a Trustee and approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, in each case to the extent that voting by shareholders is required by the 1940 Act.
Notwithstanding their ability to exercise their voting privileges, Shareholders in their capacity as such are not entitled to participate in the management or control of the Fund’s business, and may not act for or bind the Fund. |

Security Liquidation Rights [Text Block] |
No Right of Redemption
No Shareholder or other person holding Shares acquired from a Shareholder has the right to require the Fund to repurchase any Shares. No public market for Shares exists, and none is expected to develop in the future. Consequently, Shareholders may not be able to liquidate their investment other than as a result of repurchases of Shares by the Fund, as described below. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Security Obligations of Ownership [Text Block] |
The Fund may also repurchase and/or redeem Shares of a Shareholder without consent or other action by the Shareholder or other person, in accordance with the terms of its Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the 1940 Act, including Rule 23c-2 under the 1940 Act, if the Fund determines that:

Risk [Text Block] |
General Economic and Market Conditions. The value of the Fund’s total net assets should be expected to fluctuate. To the extent that the Fund’s portfolio is concentrated in securities of a single issuer or issuers in a single sector, the risk of any investment decision is increased. An Investment Interest’s use of leverage is likely to cause the Fund’s average net assets to appreciate or depreciate at a greater rate than if leverage were not used.
An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that the Shareholder’s entire investment may be lost. The Fund’s performance depends upon the Adviser’s selection of Investment Interests, the allocation of offering proceeds thereto and the performance of the Investment Interests. The Investment Interests’ investment activities involve the risks associated with private equity investments generally. Risks include adverse changes in national or international economic conditions, adverse local market conditions, the financial conditions of portfolio companies, changes in the availability or terms of financing, changes in interest rates, exchange rates, corporate tax rates and other operating expenses, epidemics, pandemics, governmental responses to epidemics and pandemics, environmental laws and regulations, and other governmental rules and fiscal policies, energy prices, changes in the relative popularity of certain industries or the availability of purchasers to acquire companies, and dependence on cash flow, as well as acts of God, uninsurable losses, war, terrorism, earthquakes, hurricanes or floods and other factors including environmental negligence which are beyond the control of the Fund or the Investment Interests.
Unexpected volatility or lack of liquidity, such as the general market conditions that had prevailed in 2008, could impair the Fund’s profitability or result in its suffering losses. |

No Operating History. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with no performance history that a Shareholder can use to evaluate the Fund’s investment performance. The initial operating expenses for a new fund, including start up costs, which may be significant, may be higher than the expenses of an established fund. In addition, the Investment Interests may, in some cases, be newly organized with limited operating histories upon which to evaluate their performance. |

Concentration in TPG Investment Interests. The Fund expects to invest a substantial portion of its assets in Investment Interests managed or sponsored by TPG, and therefore may be less diversified, and more subject to concentration and reputational risk, than other funds investing in private equity interests. If the Fund determines that its focused investment strategy on TPG Investment Interests is no longer appropriate or desirable, the Fund would allocate its assets to other Investment Interests which may expose the Fund to other risks or make it more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective. |

Availability of Investment Opportunities. The business of identifying and structuring investments of the types contemplated by the Fund is competitive, and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The availability of investment opportunities generally is subject to market conditions as well as, in some cases, the prevailing regulatory or political climate. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be able to identify and complete attractive investments in the future or that it will be able to fully invest its subscriptions. Similarly, identification of attractive investment opportunities by Investment Interests is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Even if an attractive investment opportunity is identified by an Investment Manager, an Investment Interest may not be permitted to take advantage of the opportunity to the fullest extent desired. Other investment vehicles sponsored, managed or advised by the Adviser and its affiliates may seek investment opportunities similar to those the Fund may be seeking. The Adviser will allocate fairly between the Fund and such other investment vehicles any investment opportunities that may be appropriate for the Fund and such other investment vehicles. |

Leverage Utilized By Fund Risk [Member] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Leverage Utilized by the Fund. The Fund may borrow money in connection with its investment activities — i.e., the Fund may utilize leverage. Specifically, the Fund may borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangements to fund investments in Investment Interests up to the limits of the Asset Coverage Requirement. The Fund may also borrow money through a credit facility or other arrangements to manage timing issues in connection with the acquisition of its investments (e.g., to provide the Fund with temporary liquidity to acquire investments in Investment Interests in advance of the Fund’s receipt of redemption proceeds from another Investment Interest). See “Investment Program—Leverage.”
The use of leverage is speculative and involves certain risks. Although leverage will increase the Fund’s investment return if the Fund’s interest in an Investment Interest purchased with borrowed funds earns a greater return than the interest expense the Fund pays for the use of those funds, the use of leverage will decrease the return on the Fund if the Fund fails to earn as much on its investment purchased with borrowed funds as it pays for the use of those funds. The use of leverage will in this way magnify the volatility of changes in the value of an investment in the Fund, especially in times of a “credit crunch” or during general market turmoil. The Fund may be required to maintain minimum average balances in connection with its borrowings or to pay a commitment or other fee to maintain a line of credit; either of these requirements would increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate. In addition, a lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any credit facility into which the Fund has entered. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell its interests in Investment Interests at inopportune times, which may further depress the returns of the Fund.
The 1940 Act’s Asset Coverage Requirement requires a registered investment company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. This requirement means that the value of the investment company’s total indebtedness may not exceed one third of the value of its total assets (including the indebtedness) at that time. The 1940 Act also requires that dividends generally may not be declared if this Asset Coverage Requirement is breached under certain circumstances. |

Private Equity Investments. Private equity is a common term for equity investments that are typically made in private or public companies through privately negotiated transactions, and generally involve equity-related finance intended to bring about some kind of change in an operating company (e.g., providing growth capital, recapitalizing a company or financing an acquisition). Private equity funds, often organized as limited partnerships, are the most common vehicles for making private equity investments, although the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in Direct Access Investments. The investments held by private equity funds and Direct Access Investments made by the Fund involve the same types of risks associated with an investment in any operating company. However, securities of private equity funds, as well as the underlying companies these funds invest in, tend to be more illiquid, and highly speculative. Private equity has generally been dependent on the availability of debt or equity financing to fund the acquisitions of their investments. Depending on market conditions, however, the availability of such financing may be reduced dramatically, limiting the ability of private equity funds to obtain the required financing or reducing their expected rate of return.
The regulatory environment for Investment Interests continues to evolve, and changes in the regulation of Investment Interests adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments and the ability of the Fund to implement its investment strategy (including the use of leverage). The financial services industry generally and the activities of Investment Interests and their investment advisers, in particular, have been the subject of increasing legislative and regulatory scrutiny. Such scrutiny may increase the Fund’s and/or the Adviser’s legal, compliance, administrative and other related burdens and costs as well as regulatory oversight or involvement in the Fund and/or the Adviser’s business. There can be no assurances that the Fund or the Adviser will not in the future be subject to regulatory review or discipline. The effects of any regulatory changes or developments on the Fund may affect the manner in which it is managed and may be substantial and adverse. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Special Situations and Distressed Investments. The Investment Interests may invest in securities and other obligations of companies that are in special situations involving significant financial or business distress, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings. Although such investments may result in significant returns, they involve a substantial degree of risk. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful investment in distressed assets is unusually high. There is no assurance that an Investment Interest will correctly evaluate the value of the assets securing the Investment Interest’s debt investments or the prospects for a successful reorganization or similar action in respect of any company. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a company in which an Investment Interest invests, the Investment Interest may lose its entire investment, may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than the Investment Interest’s original investment and/or may be required to accept payment over an extended period of time. Troubled company investments and other distressed asset-based investments require active monitoring. |

Venture Capital. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in venture capital. Venture capital is usually classified by investments in private companies that have a limited operating history, are attempting to develop or commercialize unproven technologies or implement novel business plans or are not otherwise developed sufficiently to be self-sustaining financially or to become public. Although these investments may offer the opportunity for significant gains, such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses, which risks generally are greater than the risks of investing in public companies that may be at a later stage of development. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Real Estate Investments. The Fund may be exposed to real estate risk through its allocation to real estate Investment Interests. Real estate Investment Interests are subject to risks associated with the ownership of real estate, including (i) changes in the general economic climate (such as changes in interest rates), (ii) local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for space), (iii) the quality and philosophy of management, (iv) competition (such as competition based on rental rates), (v) specific features of properties (such as location), (vi) financial condition of tenants, buyers and sellers of properties, (vii) quality of maintenance, insurance and management services, (viii) changes in operating costs, (ix) government regulations (including those governing usage, improvements, zoning and taxes), (x) the availability of financing and (xi) potential liability under environmental and other laws (such as successor liability if investing in existing entities). Certain of these developments could result from, among other things, changing tastes and preferences (such as for remote work arrangements) as well as cultural, technological, global or local economic and market developments. In addition, changing interest rate environments and associated changes in lending standards and higher refinancing rates may adversely affect real estate markets. The occurrence of any of the foregoing developments would likely increase default risk for the properties and loans underlying these investments as well as impact the value of, and income generated by, these investments. These developments could also result in reduced liquidity for real estate Investment Interests and other real estate-related investments. Some real estate Investment Interests may invest in a limited number of properties, in a narrow geographic area, or in a single property type, which increases the risk that such real estate fund could be unfavorably affected by the poor performance of a single investment or investment type. These companies are also sensitive to factors such as changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rates, cash flow of underlying real estate assets, supply and demand, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Borrowers could default on or sell investments that a real estate fund holds, which could reduce the cash flow needed to make distributions to investors. In addition, real estate Investment Interests may also be affected by tax and regulatory requirements impacting the real estate fund’s ability to qualify for preferential tax treatments or exemptions. |

Utilities and Energy Sectors. Energy companies may be significantly affected by outdated technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, market competition and risks associated with using hazardous materials. Energy companies may also be negatively affected by legislation that results in stricter government regulations and enforcement policies or specific expenditures. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in portfolio companies in the utilities sector, thereby exposing the Investment Interest to risks associated with this sector. Rates charged by traditional regulated utility companies are generally subject to review and limitation by governmental regulatory commissions, and the timing of rate changes will adversely affect such companies’ earnings and dividends when costs are rising. |

Financial Sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may limit the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability of such companies is generally dependent on the availability and cost of capital, and can fluctuate as a result of increased competition or changing interest rates. In addition, events in the financial sector over the past several years have resulted in reduced liquidity in credit and a high degree of volatility in the financial markets. This situation has negatively affected many financial services companies, such as by causing such companies’ values to decline. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Mezzanine Investments. An Investment Interest may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in mezzanine loans. Structurally, mezzanine loans usually rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Mezzanine debt is often used in leveraged buyout and real estate finance transactions. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with senior debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants. Due to their higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans, mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine loans also may include a “put” feature, which permits the holder to sell its equity interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed-upon formula. Mezzanine investments may be issued with or without registration rights. Similar to other high yield securities, maturities of mezzanine investments are typically seven to ten years, but the expected average life is significantly shorter at three to five years. Mezzanine investments are usually unsecured and subordinate to other debt obligations of an issuer. |

Currency Risk. Investment Interests may include direct and indirect investments in a number of different currencies. Any returns on, and the value of such investments may, therefore, be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations, local exchange control, limited liquidity of the relevant foreign exchange markets, the convertibility of the currencies in question and/or other factors. A decline in the value of the currencies in which the Fund’s or Investment Interest’s investments are denominated against the U.S. dollar may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net asset value. The Adviser will not elect to hedge the value of investments made by the Fund against currency fluctuations. Accordingly, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected by such currency fluctuations. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Inflation Risk. The Investment Interests may be subject to inflation risk, which is the risk that the real value (i.e., nominal price of the asset adjusted for inflation) of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the purchasing power and value of money (i.e., as inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s assets can decline). Inflation rates may change frequently and significantly as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy and changes in monetary or economic policies (or expectations that these policies may change), and the Fund’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which would generally adversely affect the real value of Shareholders’ investment in the Fund. This risk is greater for fixed-income instruments with longer maturities. In addition, this risk may be significantly elevated compared to normal conditions because of recent monetary policy measures and the current interest rate environment. |

Force Majeure Risk. Investment Interests may be affected by force majeure events (i.e., events beyond the control of the party claiming that the event has occurred, including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, earthquakes, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any other serious public health concern, war, terrorism and labor strikes). Some force majeure events may adversely affect the ability of a party (including an Investment Interest or a counterparty to the Fund or an Investment Interest) to perform its obligations until it is able to remedy the force majeure event. In addition, the cost to an Investment Interest or the Fund of repairing or replacing damaged assets resulting from such force majeure event could be considerable. Certain force majeure events (such as war or an outbreak of an infectious disease) could have a broader negative impact on the world economy and international business activity generally, or in any of the countries in which the Fund may invest specifically. Additionally, a major governmental intervention into industry, including the nationalization of an industry or the assertion of control over one or more Investment Interests or its assets, could result in a loss to the Fund, including if its investment in such Investment Interest is canceled, unwound or acquired (which could be without what the Fund considers to be adequate compensation). Any of the foregoing may therefore adversely affect the performance of the Fund and its investments. |

Nature of Portfolio Companies. The Investment Interests will include direct and indirect investments in various companies, ventures and businesses. This may include portfolio companies in the early phases of development, which can be highly risky due to the lack of a significant operating history, fully developed product lines, experienced management, or a proven market for their products. The Fund’s investments may also include portfolio companies that are in a state of distress or which have a poor record and which are undergoing restructuring or changes in management, and there can be no assurances that such restructuring or changes will be successful. The management of such portfolio companies may depend on one or two key individuals, and the loss of the services of any of such individuals may adversely affect the performance of such portfolio companies. |

Co-Investments. The Fund makes direct investments in the equity and/or debt securities of private companies, including through or alongside private equity funds and other private equity firms. The Fund’s ability to realize a profit on such investments will be particularly reliant on the expertise of the Investment Managers, including to the extent they serve as the lead investor in the transaction. There can be no assurance that any specific co-investment offered to the Fund would be appropriate or attractive to the Fund in the Adviser’s judgment. The market for co-investment opportunities is competitive and may be limited, and the co-investment opportunities to which the Fund wishes to allocate assets may not be available at any given time. Due diligence is conducted on co-investment opportunities; however, the Adviser may not have the ability to conduct the same level of due diligence applied to other investments. In addition, the Adviser may have little to no opportunities to negotiate the terms of such co-investments. |

Non-U.S. Risk. Certain of the Investment Interests may invest, and the Fund may co-invest, in foreign portfolio companies that do not maintain internal management accounts or adopt financial budgeting, internal audit or internal control procedures to standards normally expected of companies in the United States. Accordingly, information supplied to the Fund and the Investment Interests may be incomplete, inaccurate and/or significantly delayed. The Fund and the Investment Interests may therefore be unable to take or influence timely actions necessary to rectify management deficiencies in such portfolio companies, which may ultimately have an adverse impact on the net asset value of the Fund. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Valuation of the Fund’s Investment Interests. The valuation of the Fund’s investments in Investment Interests is ordinarily determined based upon estimated valuations provided by the Investment Interests on a monthly basis. The Fund will also provide valuations, and will issue Shares, on a monthly basis. The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee for purposes of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Adviser will oversee the valuation of the Fund’s investments on behalf of the Fund. A large percentage of the securities in which the Investment Interests invest will not have a readily ascertainable market price and will be fair valued by the Investment Interest. In this regard, an Investment Interest may face a conflict of interest in valuing the securities, as their value may affect the Investment Interest’s compensation or its ability to raise additional funds. No assurances can be given regarding the valuation methodology or the sufficiency of systems utilized by any Investment Interest, the accuracy of the valuations provided by the Investment Interests, that the Investment Interests will comply with their own internal policies or procedures for keeping records or making valuations, or that the Investment Interests’ policies and procedures and systems will not change without notice to the Fund. To the extent that the Fund does not receive timely information from the Investment Interests regarding their valuations, the Fund’s ability to accurately calculation its net asset value may impaired. As a result, an Investment Interest’s valuation of the securities may fail to match the amount ultimately realized with respect to the disposition of such securities.
An Investment Interest’s information could also be inaccurate due to fraudulent activity, misvaluation or inadvertent error. The Fund may not uncover errors in valuation for a significant period of time, if ever. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Valuations Subject to Adjustment. The Adviser determines its month-end net asset value based upon the monthly valuations reported by the Investment Interests, which may not reflect market or other events occurring subsequent to the month-end. The Adviser will fair value the holdings in Investment Interests to reflect such events, consistent with its valuation policies; however, there is no guarantee the Adviser will correctly fair value such investments. Additionally, the valuations reported by Investment Interests may be subject to later adjustment or revision. For example, fiscal year-end net asset value calculations of the Investment Interests may be revised as a result of audits by their independent auditors. Other adjustments may occur from time to time. Because such adjustments or revisions, whether increasing or decreasing the net asset value of the Fund, and therefore the Fund, at the time they occur, relate to information available only at the time of the adjustment or revision, the adjustment or revision may not affect the amount of the repurchase proceeds of the Fund received by Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased prior to such adjustments and received their repurchase proceeds. As a result, to the extent that such subsequently adjusted valuations from the Investment Interests or revisions to the net asset value of an Investment Interest or direct private equity investment adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, the remaining outstanding Shares may be adversely affected by prior repurchases to the benefit of Shareholders who had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value higher than the adjusted amount. Conversely, any increases in the net asset value resulting from such subsequently adjusted valuations may be entirely for the benefit of the outstanding Shares and to the detriment of Shareholders who previously had their Shares repurchased at a net asset value lower than the adjusted amount. The same principles apply to the purchase of Shares. New Shareholders may be affected in a similar way. |

Illiquidity of Investment Interests. There is no regular market for interest in Investment Interests, which typically must be sold in privately negotiated transactions. Any such sales would likely require the consent of the applicable Investment Interest and could occur at a discount to the stated net asset value. If the Adviser determines to cause the Fund to sell its interests in an Investment Interest, the Fund may be unable to sell such interests quickly, if at all, and could therefore be obligated to continue to hold such interests for an extended period of time. |

Risk [Text Block] |
General Risks of Secondary Investments. The overall performance of the Fund’s secondary investments will depend in large part on the acquisition price paid, which may be negotiated based on incomplete or imperfect information. Certain secondary investments may be purchased as a portfolio, and in such cases the Fund may not be able to carve out from such purchases those investments that the Adviser considers (for commercial, tax, legal or other reasons) less attractive. Where the Fund acquires an interest in an Investment Interest as a secondary investment, the Fund will generally not have the ability to modify or amend such Investment Interest’s constituent documents (e.g., limited partnership agreements) or otherwise negotiate the economic terms of the interests being acquired. In addition, the costs and resources required to investigate the commercial, tax and legal issues relating to secondary investments may be greater than those relating to primary investments. Additionally, where the Fund acquires an interest in an Investment Interest as a secondary investment, the Fund may acquire contingent liabilities associated with such interest. Specifically, where the seller received distributions from the relevant Investment Interest and, subsequently, that Investment Interest recalls any portion of such distributions, the Fund (as the purchaser of the interest to which such distributions are attributable) may be obligated to pay an amount equivalent to such distributions to such Investment Interest. While the Fund may be able, in turn, to make a claim against the seller of the interest for any monies so paid to the Investment Interest, there can be no assurance that the Fund would have such right or prevail in any such claim. |

Other Registered Investment Companies. The Fund may invest in the securities of other registered investment companies to the extent that such investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and permissible under the 1940 Act. Under one provision of the 1940 Act, the Fund may not acquire the securities of other registered investment companies if, as a result, (i) more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of other registered investment companies, (ii) such purchase would result in more than 3% of the total outstanding voting securities of any one registered investment company being held by the Fund or (iii) more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in any one registered investment company, except as otherwise permitted by applicable regulations. The Fund, as a holder of the securities of other investment companies, will bear its pro rata portion of the other investment companies’ expenses, including advisory fees. These expenses will be in addition to the direct expenses incurred by the Fund. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Investments in Non-Voting Stock; Inability to Vote. The Fund intends to hold its interests in the Investment Interests in nonvoting form or limit its voting rights to a certain percentage. Where only voting securities are available for purchase, the Fund will generally seek to create by contract the same result as owning a non-voting security by agreeing to relinquish or limit the right to vote in respect of its investment. The Fund will not receive any consideration in return for entering into a voting waiver arrangement. To the extent that the Fund contractually foregoes the right to vote Investment Interest securities, the Fund will not be able to vote or may be able to vote only to a limited extent on matters that may be adverse to the Fund’s interests. As a result, the Fund’s influence on an Investment Interest could be diminished, which may consequently adversely affect the Fund and its Shareholders. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Competition in the Technology Sector; New Technologies. Many of the areas in which certain Investment Interests and their portfolio companies are expected to participate evolve rapidly with changing and disruptive technologies, shifting user needs, and frequent introductions of new products and services. Competitors of the portfolio companies will range in size from diversified global companies with significant research and development resources to small, specialized firms whose narrower product lines may enable them to be more effective in deploying technical, marketing and/or financial resources. Barriers to entry in the technology industry are low, and technology products can be distributed broadly and quickly at relatively low cost. In addition, the emerging nature and rapid evolution of technology products and services generally require portfolio companies in the technology industry to continually improve the performance, features and reliability of their products and/or services, particularly in response to competitive offerings. There can be no assurance that portfolio companies will be successful in building or acquiring new equipment and other assets, upgrading existing equipment or achieving widespread acceptance of their products and/or services before competitors offer products and services with similar or improved performance, features and reliability. The widespread introduction and/or adoption of new technologies or standards could require substantial expenditures by such portfolio companies to modify or adapt their products or services. To the extent that certain sectors experience rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies, as a result of technological advancements or new products or services from competitors, portfolio companies may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressure may result in significant downward pressure on pricing and force portfolio companies to implement new technologies at a substantial cost. Such expenditures may negatively affect the profitability of such portfolio companies and, in turn, the Fund’s operating results and performance. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Smaller Capitalization Issuers. Investment Interests may invest in smaller capitalization companies, including micro cap companies. Investments in smaller capitalization companies often involve significantly greater risks than the securities of larger, better- known companies because they may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The prices of the securities of smaller companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies, as these securities typically are less liquid, traded in lower volume and the issuers typically are more subject to changes in earnings and prospects. In addition, when selling large positions in small capitalization securities, the seller may have to sell holdings at discounts from quoted prices or may have to make a series of small sales over a period of time. |

Risk [Text Block] |
High Yield Securities and Distressed Securities. While the Fund will not invest a substantial portion of its assets in such investments, Investment Interests may invest in fixed income securities rated investment grade or non-investment grade (commonly referred to as high yield securities or “junk bonds”) and may invest in unrated fixed income securities. Non-investment grade securities are fixed income securities rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or below BBB by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), or if unrated considered by an Investment Manager to be equivalent quality. Non-investment grade debt securities in the lowest rating categories or unrated debt securities determined to be of comparable quality may involve a substantial risk of default or may be in default. An Investment Interest’s investments in non-investment grade securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. Non- investment grade securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy or are more highly indebted than other companies, and therefore they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. Non- investment grade securities are subject to greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated securities and may be considered speculative. Non-investment grade securities may experience reduced liquidity, and sudden and substantial decreases in price. An economic downturn affecting an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities may result in an increased incidence of default. In the event of a default, an Investment Interest may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. In addition, the market for lower grade debt securities may be thinner and less active than for higher grade debt securities.
Certain of the companies in whose securities the Investment Interests may invest may be in transition, out of favor, financially leveraged or troubled, or potentially troubled, and may be or have recently been involved in major strategic actions, restructurings, bankruptcy, reorganization or liquidation. These characteristics of these companies can cause their securities to be particularly risky, although they also may offer the potential for high returns. These companies’ securities may be considered speculative, and the ability of the companies to pay their debts on schedule could be affected by adverse interest rate movements, changes in the general economic climate, economic factors affecting a particular industry or specific developments within the companies. These securities may also present a substantial risk of default. An Investment Interest’s investment in any instrument is subject to no minimum credit standard and a significant portion of the obligations and preferred stock in which an Investment Interest may invest may be less than investment grade (commonly referred to as junk bonds), which may result in the Investment Interest experiencing greater risks than it would if investing in higher rated instruments. |

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements involve a sale of a security by an Investment Interest to a bank or securities dealer and the Investment Interest’s simultaneous agreement to repurchase the security for a fixed price (reflecting a market rate of interest) on a specific date. These transactions involve a risk that the other party to a reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to the Investment Interest. Reverse repurchase transactions are a form of leverage that may also increase the volatility of an Investment Interest’s investment portfolio. |

Dilution. The Fund may accept additional subscriptions for Shares as determined by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. Additional purchases will dilute the indirect interests of existing Shareholders in the Fund’s investments prior to such purchases, which could have an adverse impact on the existing Shareholders’ interests in the Fund if subsequent investments underperform the prior investments. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Non-Diversified Status. The Fund is a “non-diversified” investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means that it is not subject to percentage limitations under the 1940 Act on the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of any one issuer. The Fund’s net asset value may therefore be subject to greater volatility than that of an investment company that is subject to such a limitation on diversification. In addition, while the Fund is a “non-diversified” fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to elect to be treated and to qualify annually as a RIC under the Code. To qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must, among other things, (i) derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and net income from interests in “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (as defined in the Code); and (ii) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year, (A) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund’s assets is represented by cash, cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and other securities, with such other securities of any one issuer limited for the purposes of this calculation to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer and (B) not more than 25% of the market value of the Fund’s total assets is invested in the securities (other than U.S. government securities and the securities of other regulated investment companies) of (1) any one issuer, (2) any two or more issuers that the Fund controls and that are determined to be engaged in the same business or similar or related trades or businesses, or (3) any one or more “qualified publicly traded partnerships.” |

Substantial Fees and Expenses. A Shareholder in the Fund that meets the eligibility conditions imposed by one or more Investment Interests, including minimum initial investment requirements that may be substantially higher than those imposed by the Fund, could potentially invest directly in primaries of such Investment Interests. By investing in the Investment Interests through the Fund, a Shareholder in the Fund will bear a portion of the Management Fee and other expenses of the Fund. A Shareholder in the Fund will also indirectly bear a portion of the asset-based fees, carried interests or incentive allocations (which are a share of an Investment Interest’s returns which are paid to an Investment Manager) and fees and expenses borne by the Fund as an investor in the Investment Interests. In addition, to the extent that the Fund invests in an Investment Interest that is itself a “fund of funds,” the Fund will bear a third layer of fees. Each Investment Manager receives any incentive-based allocations to which it is entitled irrespective of the performance of the other Investment Interests and the Fund generally. As a result, an Investment Interest with positive performance may receive compensation from the Fund, even if the Fund’s overall returns are negative. |

Incentive Allocation Arrangements. Each Investment Manager may receive a performance fee, carried interest or incentive allocation generally equal to 20% of the net profits earned by the Investment Interest that it manages, and in certain cases subject to a preferred return. These performance incentives may create an incentive for the Investment Managers to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than those that might have been made in the absence of the performance fee, carried interest, or incentive allocation. |

Control Positions. Investment Interests may take control positions in companies. The exercise of control over a company imposes additional risks of liability for environmental damage, product defects, failure to supervise and other types of liability related to business operations. In addition, the act of taking a control position, or seeking to take such a position, may itself subject an Investment Interest to litigation by parties interested in blocking it from taking that position. If those liabilities were to arise, or such litigation were to be resolved adversely to the Investment Interests, the investing Investment Interests likely would suffer losses on their investments. |

Shares Not Listed; No Market for Class A Shares, Class I Shares or Class F Shares. No market currently exists for Class A Shares, Class I Shares or Class F Shares, and the Fund contemplates that one will not develop. The Shares are, therefore, not readily marketable. Although the Adviser and the Fund expect to recommend to the Board of Trustees that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares quarterly, no assurances can be given that the Fund will do so and, in any case, repurchases will not begin until one year after the Fund has commenced operations. Consequently, Class A Shares, Class I Shares and Class F Shares should only be acquired by investors able to commit their funds for an indefinite period of time. |

Closed-end Fund; Liquidity Risks. The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company designed primarily for long-term investors and is not intended to be a trading vehicle. An investor should not invest in the Fund if the investor needs a liquid investment. Closed-end funds differ from open-end management investment companies (commonly known as mutual funds) in that investors in a closed-end fund do not have the right to redeem their shares on a daily basis at a price based on net asset value. |

Repurchase Risks. The Fund has no obligation to repurchase Shares at any time; any such repurchases will only be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion. With respect to any future repurchase offer, Shareholders tendering any Shares for repurchase must do so by a date specified in the notice describing the terms of the repurchase offer (the “Notice Date”). The Notice Date generally will be seven days prior to the date as of which the Shares to be repurchased are valued by the Fund (the “Valuation Date”). Tenders will be revocable upon written notice to the Fund until the date specified in the terms of the repurchase offer (the “Expiration Date”). The Expiration Date generally will be four days prior to the Valuation Date. Shareholders that elect to tender any Shares for repurchase will not know the price at which such Shares will be repurchased until the Fund’s net asset value as of the Valuation Date is able to be determined, which determination is expected to be able to be made only late in the month following that of the Valuation Date. It is possible that during the time period between the Notice Date and the Valuation Date, general economic and market conditions, or specific events affecting one or more underlying Investment Interests, could cause a decline in the value of Shares in the Fund. Shareholders who require minimum annual distributions from a retirement account through which they hold Shares should consider the Fund’s schedule for repurchase offers and submit repurchase requests accordingly and should consider the Fund’s limited liquidity in making a decision to invest in the Fund. Each repurchase offer is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees in its sole discretion. In addition, the Fund’s investments in Investments Funds are subject to lengthy lock-up periods where the Fund will not be able to dispose of such investments except through secondary transactions with third parties, which may occur at a significant discount to NAV and which may not be available at any given time. There is no assurance that third parties will engage in such secondary transactions and the Fund may require and be unable to obtain the Investment Interest’s consent to effect such transactions. The Fund may need to suspend or postpone repurchase offers if it is not able to dispose of its interests in Investment Interests in a timely manner. See “Repurchases of Shares.” |

Distributions In-Kind. The Fund generally expects to distribute to the holder of Shares that are repurchased a promissory note entitling such holder to the payment of cash in satisfaction of such repurchase. However, There can be no assurance that the Fund will have sufficient cash to pay for Shares that are being repurchased or that it will be able to liquidate Investments at favorable prices to pay for repurchased Shares. The Fund has the right to distribute securities as payment for repurchased Shares in unusual circumstances, including if making a cash payment would result in a material adverse effect on the Fund. For example, it is possible that the Fund may receive securities from an Investment Interest that are illiquid or difficult to value. In such circumstances, the Adviser would seek to dispose of these securities in a manner that is in the best interests of the Fund, which may include a distribution in-kind to the Fund’s Shareholders. In the event that the Fund makes such a distribution of securities, Shareholders will bear any risks of the distributed securities and may be required to pay a brokerage commission or other costs in order to dispose of such securities. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Substantial Repurchases. Substantial requests for the Fund to repurchase Shares could require the Fund to liquidate certain of its investments more rapidly than otherwise desirable in order to raise cash to fund the repurchases and achieve a market position appropriately reflecting a smaller asset base. This could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
To the extent the Fund obtains repurchase proceeds by disposing of its interest in certain Investment Interests, the Fund will thereafter hold a larger proportion of its assets in the remaining Investment Interests, some of whose interests at times may be less liquid or illiquid. This could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to fund subsequent repurchase requests of Shareholders or to conduct future repurchases at all. In addition, after giving effect to such dispositions, the remaining Investment Interests may not reflect the Adviser’s ideal judgments as to the desired portfolio composition of the Fund’s Investment Interests, in that the Fund’s performance may be tied to the performance of fewer Investment Interests and/or may not reflect the Adviser’s judgment as to the Fund’s optimal exposure to particular asset classes or investment mandates. These consequences may be particularly applicable if the Fund received requests to repurchase substantial amounts of Shares, and may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and the value of the Shares. In addition, substantial repurchases of Shares could result in a sizeable decrease in the Fund’s net assets, resulting in an increase in the Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio. |

Special Tax Risks [Member] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Special Tax Risks. Special tax risks are associated with an investment in the Fund. The Fund intends to satisfy the requirements each taxable year necessary to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As such, the Fund must satisfy, among other requirements, certain ongoing asset diversification, source-of-income and annual distribution requirements. Each of these ongoing requirements for qualification for the favorable tax treatment available to RICs requires that the Fund obtain information from the Investment Interests in which the Fund is invested.
Some of the income that the Fund may earn directly or through an Investment Interest, such as income recognized from an equity investment in an operating partnership, may not satisfy the gross income test. To manage the risk that such income might jeopardize the Fund’s tax status as a RIC resulting from a failure to satisfy the gross income test, one or more subsidiary entities treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be employed to earn such income and (if applicable) hold the related investment. Such subsidiary entities generally will be required to incur entity-level income taxes on their earnings, which ultimately will reduce the return to Shareholders.
If before the end of any quarter of its taxable year, the Fund believes that it may fail any of the asset diversification requirements, the Fund may seek to take certain actions to avert such a failure. However, certain actions typically taken by RICs to avert such a failure (e.g., the disposition of assets causing the diversification discrepancy) may be difficult for the Fund to pursue because the Fund may redeem its interest in an Investment Interest only at certain times specified by the governing documents of each respective Investment Interest. While the Code ordinarily affords the Fund a 30-day period after the end of the relevant quarter in which to cure a diversification failure by disposing of non-diversified assets, the constraints on the Fund’s ability to effect a redemption from an Investment Interest referred to above may limit utilization of this cure period.
If the Fund fails to satisfy the asset diversification or other RIC requirements, it may lose its status as a RIC under the Code. In that case, all of its taxable income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to Shareholders. In addition, all distributions (including distributions of net capital gain) to Shareholders would be characterized as dividend income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, disqualification as a RIC would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s Shares and the amount of the Fund’s distributions. |

General Description of Registrant [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Additional Tax Considerations; Distributions to Shareholders and Potential Fund-Level Tax Liabilities. The Fund expects to distribute substantially all of its net ordinary income and net capital gains to Shareholders. These distributions are respectively characterized as ordinary dividend income or long-term capital gain when distributed as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to Shareholders. The Fund will inform Shareholders of the amount and character of its distributions to Shareholders. See “Tax Aspects” below for more information. If the Fund distributes (or is deemed to have distributed) in respect of any calendar year less than an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of its calendar year ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections), 98.2% of its capital gain net income (determined on the basis of a one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year, and adjusted for certain ordinary losses), plus any such amounts that were not distributed in previous calendar years, then the Fund will generally be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax with respect to the Fund’s undistributed amounts. The Fund will not be subject to this excise tax on any amount which the Fund incurred an entity-level U.S. federal income tax.
The Fund may be required to recognize items of taxable income and gain prior to the time that any corresponding cash distributions are made to or by the Fund and certain Investment Interests. In addition, the Fund may invest in Investment Interests located outside of the U.S. or other non-U.S. portfolio company or entities which may be considered passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) or controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Fund may, in a particular taxable year, be required to make ordinary income distributions in excess of the net economic income from such investments with respect to such taxable year. Furthermore, income or gain from such Investment Interests or other entities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding or other taxes. Any such withholding or other taxes would reduce the return on the Fund’s investment in such Investment Interests and thus on the Shareholders’ investment in the Fund. See “Tax Aspects.” |

Change in Tax Laws. Each prospective investor should be aware that tax laws and regulations are changing on an ongoing basis, and such laws and/or regulations may be changed with retroactive effect. Moreover, the interpretation and/or application of tax laws and regulations by certain tax authorities may not be clear, consistent or transparent. Uncertainty in the tax law may require the Fund and/or an Investment Interest to accrue potential tax liabilities even in situations in which the Fund does not expect to be ultimately subject to such tax liabilities.
The impact of new legislation on Shareholders, the Fund, the Investment Interests and the entities through which the Investment Interests invest is uncertain. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of the new legislation on an investment in the Fund. |

Regulatory Change. Legal and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the Fund, which may materially adversely affect the Fund. In addition, legislation or regulation may change the way in which the Fund is regulated. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation or deregulation will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or will not impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
The rules under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) require that the Adviser either operate within certain guidelines and restrictions with respect to the Fund’s use of futures, options on such futures, commodity options and certain swaps, or be subject to registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) with respect to the Fund or be required to operate the Fund in compliance with certain disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The Adviser has elected to claim an exclusion from the definition of CPO with respect to the Fund. If the Adviser and the Fund become subject to CFTC regulation, as well as related National Futures Association rules, the Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses. |

Risk [Text Block] |
Cyber security risk. As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund, like all companies, have become more susceptible to operational, information security and related risks through breaches in cyber security. In general, cyber security failures or breaches of the Fund or its service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding), but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security failures or breaches affecting the Adviser, the Investment Managers, any subadvisor and other service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, destruction to equipment and systems, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber security breaches in the future.
While the Fund has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cybersecurity breaches, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, the Fund does not directly control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. |
