The Fund was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 11, 2023, under a Certificate of Trust governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund is expected to acquire all of the assets and liabilities of 908 Investments LLC (the “Predecessor Fund”), a private fund that will merge into the Fund, in a tax-free reorganization on or about September 2024 (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the Reorganization, interests in the Predecessor Fund will be exchanged for 19Class I Shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund had an investment objective and strategies that are, in all material respects, similar to those of the Fund and are managed in a manner that, in all material respects, complies with the investment guidelines and restrictions of the Fund. Connetic RIA LLC (the “Adviser”) manages the Predecessor Fund.
The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company designed for long-term investors. The Fund is neither a liquid investment nor a trading vehicle.
You should not invest in the Fund if you need 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 daily.
● Shares are not listed for trading on any securities exchange, and you should not expect to be able to sell Shares in a secondary market transaction. You should consider Shares of the Fund to be an illiquid investment.
● Shares are not redeemable at the shareholder’s option. The Fund does not intend to offer to repurchase Shares until January 2025. At that time, the Fund will offer to redeem no less than 5% of its outstanding Shares four times each year.
● The Fund has no intention to repurchase Shares outside of these quarterly repurchase offers that will begin in January 2025, and these repurchase offers may be oversubscribed.
● If you tender your Shares for repurchase as part of a repurchase offer that is oversubscribed (i.e. because more than 5% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares are tendered for repurchase), the Fund will redeem only a portion of your Shares.
● Because Shares are not listed on a securities exchange, and the Fund will only offer to redeem no less than 5% of its outstanding Shares four times a year starting in January 2025, you should not expect to be able to sell your Shares when and/or in the amount desired, regardless of how the Fund performs. As a result, you may be unable to reduce your exposure to the Fund during any market downturn.
● The Fund is designed for long-term investors. An investment in the Fund may not be suitable for you if you need the money you invest within a specified period.
● The amount of distributions the Fund may pay, if any, is uncertain. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a certain level of distributions to shareholders. A portion or all of Fund distributions may consist of a return of capital. Any capital returned to shareholders through a distribution will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses. A return of capital distribution will not be taxable but will reduce the shareholder’s cost basis and result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a shareholder’s cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain if the shareholder holds shares of the Fund as capital assets.
● The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that are unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as from offering proceeds, borrowings, and amounts from the Fund’s affiliates that are subject to repayment by investors.
● The Fund’s investments may require several years to appreciate in value, and there is no assurance that such appreciation will occur.
● Investing in the Shares may be speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including the risks associated with venture capital investing and the potential loss of your entire investment. See “Risks” in the prospectus for additional important information.
The Fund intends to primarily invest in securities of private, early-stage, venture-backed growth companies. There are significant potential risks relating to investing in such securities. Because most of the securities in which the Fund invests are not publicly traded, the Fund’s investments will be valued by the Adviser pursuant to fair valuation procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board of Trustees, as set forth in the prospectus. As a consequence, the value of the securities, and therefore the Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”), may vary. There are significant potential risks associated with investing in private, venture capital investments with complex capital structures. The Fund focuses on creating a large, diversified portfolio in an attempt to reduce risk compared to a smaller, concentrated portfolio.
There is a greater focus in technology securities that could adversely affect the Fund’s performance
