ALPS Global Opportunity Fund Class C (LPFCX)

Overview

The fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to the private equity market without the typical barriers associated with direct private equity investments. It targets companies globally, including those in emerging markets, by investing in publicly listed entities that are primarily focused on private companies. This approach encompasses U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange or their foreign equivalents, which either have the majority of their assets invested in private companies or intend to invest predominantly in this sector. Moreover, the fund diversifies its investment through derivatives that offer economic characteristics similar to listed private equity companies, ensuring at least 80% of its net assets are allocated according to this strategy. This unique investment avenue is tailored for those seeking the growth potential of private equities, leveraging the liquidity and ease of access characteristic of public markets.
