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.
Investors subscribe into a dedicated SPV — a separate legal entity that holds only the relevant asset. SPVs are segregated, so liabilities of one deal cannot affect another. All deals include institutional-grade subscription agreements, side letters where appropriate, and audited financial reporting.
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 sign a one-click digital NDA. Tier 3 (wire instructions) unlocks when you commit capital.
MarketGlide operates on FCA-compliant workflows. Deals are structured through regulated SPV vehicles in Luxembourg, Cayman, Delaware, or ADGM. Specific regulatory status per deal is disclosed in each investment memo.
Yes. We regularly accept subscriptions from personal holding companies, family trusts, family offices, SIPPs, and institutional vehicles. KYC is conducted on both the subscribing entity and the ultimate beneficial owners.
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. The waterfall is: 1) Return of capital, 2) Preferred return (typically 8% IRR hurdle), 3) Remaining profits split 80/20 between investors and the GP.
Submit an application at /partners. We review every application individually. Approved Network Partners get access to a dedicated Partner Portal with ring-fenced investor relationships, pre-agreed economics, and optional white-label mode.
