The bigger market, finally open. Evergreen is the gateway.

The economy went private. The access didn’t.

Since the mid-2000s, three forces have pushed capital off-exchange. Sarbanes-Oxley made going public more expensive. The 2008 banking retreat opened the door to private credit. The endowment modelproved the playbook. The universe shifted. The wealth channel was left with what didn’t fit it. Closed-end commitments, $5M minimums, capital calls over five years, ten-year lock-ups. None of that fits how a wealth advisor manages money on behalf of clients.

Evergreen funds rewire the access mechanism. Non-traded BDCs, semi-liquid PE wrappers, interval funds, ELTIF 2.0. The product is imperfect. Gates rationed under stress, NAVs smoothed, fees that compound. But the structural shift is real: for the first time, advisors can allocate to the deeper market that has existed off-exchange for twenty years.

The capital flowing through this gateway funds the energy transition, finances the companies that don’t list, and ultimately compounds the savings of the people now planning their retirement. The stakes are not abstract.

Access without transparency is not progress.

Public markets are saturated with data: bid-ask spreads to the cent, fundamentals updated by the minute, ratings systems built over fifty years. Private markets still run on quarterly PDFs and manager calls. Investors, advisors and distributors decide with a fraction of the visibility they would demand for a listed equity.

IRR vs TWR debates that obscure more than they reveal. NAV smoothing that hides volatility. Fee waterfalls disclosed under one set of rules in New York and another in Paris. The opacity is not in the strategies. It is in the language the industry uses to describe them.

We are building the data infrastructure of the gateway.

Owners aggregates, structures and benchmarks the information that matters: strategy, performance, fees, liquidity terms, share classes, vehicle structure. Across asset classes: Private Equity, Private Credit, Infrastructure, Real Estate. Across jurisdictions: the SEC’s interval funds and BDCs, Europe’s ELTIF 2.0, Asia-Pacific’s emerging semi-liquid frameworks.

What we don’t do:

• We don’t distribute funds.
• We don’t favor one fund over another.
• We don’t compromise on data accuracy.
• We don’t hide the universe behind paywalls.

We have mapped over 600 evergreen vehicles across Private Equity, Private Credit, Infrastructure and Real Estate. We have read the prospectuses, parsed the filings, decoded the KIDs, and measured where the language breaks down. We have learned where the data gaps cost real money.

Trust is built on transparency. That’s why we built Owners.
