Private markets include alternative investments, not typically traded on public exchanges: like private equity, private credit, and infrastructure. These opportunities are typically reserved for institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, but Sidekick gives eligible sophisticated and high-net-worth investors access to them through carefully curated funds from leading managers.

We work with experienced fund managers and carry out thorough due diligence before listing any private market opportunity on the platform. Sidekick focuses on institutional-grade funds with strong governance and investor protections, designed with individual investors in mind. You’ll receive clear information and disclosures whether you’re investing in a VCT or another private fund.

Private market investments are not suitable for everyone. They are typically illiquid, meaning you won’t be able to access your money easily or quickly. They often have long lock-up periods (5–10+ years), carry a higher risk profile, and may not offer regular income or performance updates. Before investing, it’s important to understand these trade-offs and ensure the investment aligns with your long-term financial objectives. Capital is at risk.
