Within the Novantigo coverage set of 494 vehicles as of 31 Aug 2026, this is one of 163 private equity funds, one of 347 domiciled in Luxembourg, and one of 117 that combine both characteristics, so its fee level, cost ratio and size can be read against a reasonably populated peer group of retail-accessible European private equity structures.
