CHICAGO, March 8, 2023 – FlowStone Partners announced today that FlowStone Opportunity Fund increased in Net Asset Value (“NAV”) by 1.41% in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 and 5.21% in 2022, while the Russell 2000 was 6.23% over the same period and was (20.44%) in 2022. The 1940 & 1933 Act registered investment vehicle was launched in August 2019 to provide qualified high-net-worth and institutional investors diversified exposure to private equity through an actively managed secondary-focused strategy. The change in NAV and net inflows from shareholders increased overall assets in the Fund to over $557.9 million as of January 1, 2023.
“The Fund is managed to provide exposures to different transaction types that can leverage the benefits of private equity secondaries within a registered fund structure. We seek to provide complementary exposures that can produce diversified sources of returns in different environments. Over the past several quarters our shareholders have benefited from this approach as we seek to provide liquidity solutions to institutional investors that are required or induced to sell existing private equity fund interests.” said Scott Conners, Managing Director, and President of FlowStone Partners. The Fund remains open to accept quarterly Shareholder subscriptions from Qualified Clients and Qualified Purchasers.
“The relative outperformance of private equity over public markets is expected to provide a meaningful increase in deal flow and our team looks forward to providing liquidity to sellers of high-quality fund interests. We think there will be opportunities to add high quality exposures at favorable prices.” added Conners.
As of December 31, 2022, the FlowStone Opportunity Fund has returned 86.01% since its August 2019 inception, including 5.21% over the past 1-year ended December 31, 2023. According to recent SEC filings, the Fund is approximately 90.80% committed/invested with exposure to 195 private equity sponsors and over 1450+ companies across various industries.
