Germany private markets platform & asset management group Moonfare has reported $4.6 billion (€4 billion) AUM with $358 million (€313 million) inflows in 2026 1st half, and has 5,900+ investors (5,600 individuals, 350+ family offices & UHNWs) in 24 countries. Moonfare was founded in 2016 by Dr. Steffen Pauls, Alexander Argyros & Heinrich von Liechtenstein. In 2024, Moonfare hired Blackstone Principal Adam Banks as Head of Asia-Pacific. Adam Banks has 12 years of financial industry experience including at leading private equity & asset management firms Blackstone, Brookfield Asset Management & EQT Group. Announcement (14/7/26): “Moonfare, the global private markets platform and investment firm, has surpassed €4bn in assets under management (AUM), marking a significant milestone in its growth as private wealth investors and family offices continue to increase their exposure to institutional-grade private markets opportunities.This growth demonstrates a growing demand for Moonfare’s curated private markets offering across primary funds, co- investments, evergreens, secondaries and direct investments, as well as the growing contribution from the firm’s proprietary strategies. In the first half of 2026, around 20% of Moonfare’s new AUM inflows went into Moonfare’s proprietary products, underscoring the firm’s evolution from an access platform into a broader private markets investment firm. Moonfare now serves more than 5,600 individuals and more than 350 family offices and UHNWIs across 24 countries. Further international expansion is expected to follow soon, as private wealth allocations to private capital continue to grow. In the US, this is predicted to increase from $80 billion in 2025 to an estimated $2.4 trillion by 2030, according to research from the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, and to more than triple in Europe from €924 billion to €3.3 trillion. The milestone comes shortly after Moonfare received authorisation from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to operate as an independent investment firm under the German Investment Firm Act (WpIG). The licence places the firm under direct BaFin supervision and lays the groundwork for it to offer investment advice and portfolio management, the capabilities that will be central to Moonfare’s next phase of growth. Moonfare continues to apply a highly selective due diligence process, accepting fewer than 5% of the 500+ opportunities it reviews each year onto the Moonfare platform, reflecting its focus on quality over volume.”

Moonfare Founder and Co-CEO Steffen Pauls: “In a subdued fundraising market, capital concentrates, It moves toward managers with the discipline to say no. That is what investors come to Moonfare for and our half-year growth confirmed it. Crossing €4bn tells us the model works. That over 20% of new inflows went into strategies we manage ourselves tells us where it goes next.”
