Frequently asked
Questions, answered
Minimum ticket sizes vary by deal. Most opportunities on MarketGlide start at $25,000, with some smaller private credit and secondary opportunities accessible from $10,000.
We primarily use Luxembourg SCSp (Special Limited Partnership), Cayman Exempted Limited Partnership, Delaware LLC, and ADGM Special Purpose Companies. The structure is selected based on deal type, investor base, and tax efficiency.
Each investor subscribes into a dedicated SPV — a separate legal entity that holds only the relevant asset. Because each deal sits in its own SPV, the liabilities of one deal don't affect another. This separates exposure between deals; it does not reduce the risk of loss on any individual deal — your capital remains fully at risk. Deals include subscription agreements and side letters where appropriate, and deal-level financial information is shared with committed investors in the deal room.
MarketGlide charges an upfront origination fee and takes carried interest above a hurdle rate. The exact fee structure is agreed per deal, and there are no ongoing management fees on most SPVs. Full fee breakdowns are disclosed in every investment memo.
All deal access requires an approved investor account. After submitting your application and being approved, you'll see the Tier 1 teaser for every active deal. To access the full data room (Tier 2), you accept the confidentiality terms (the NDA gate). Tier 3 (wire instructions) unlocks when you commit capital.
No. MarketGlide is not authorised or regulated by the FCA. Our communications are made under the section 21 FSMA financial promotion exemptions, to certified sophisticated and high-net-worth investors only. Deals are structured through special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in Luxembourg, Cayman, Delaware, or ADGM; the structure and any regulatory status for each deal is disclosed in its investment memo.
Yes. We regularly accept subscriptions from personal holding companies, family trusts, family offices, SIPPs, and institutional vehicles. Where a deal requires it, investors provide proof-of-funds or mandate documentation before allocation, which our team reviews manually for that deal.
Capital invested in private markets is at risk and loss of principal is possible. Each SPV is structured to contain any losses to that specific vehicle — they cannot spread across your portfolio. If a portfolio asset performs poorly, you may receive less than your initial commitment, or nothing at all. This is inherent to private market investing.
Distributions flow back through the SPV to investors pro-rata based on their commitment size. A typical waterfall is: 1) Return of capital, 2) Preferred return (for example, an 8% IRR hurdle), 3) Remaining profits split (for example, 80/20 between investors and the GP). These figures are illustrative — the actual hurdle and split are agreed per deal and disclosed in the investment memo.
Submit an application at /partners. We review every application individually. Approved members of the Partner Network get access to a dedicated Partner Portal with ring-fenced investor relationships, pre-agreed economics, and optional white-label mode.
