Investment Thesis

OPEN’s investment philosophy is to bring index investing principles to late-stage venture by offering diversified, rules-based exposure to leading private companies (Unicorns). They prioritize low-cost, institutional-grade products that make the historically difficult and expensive private markets more accessible — sourcing shares through a secondary market network and offering potential co-investment opportunities to investors.

Who should take a closer look

OPEN is most relevant for founders raising Late Stage rounds in Other, especially across United States and New York.

Focus statement

OPEN focuses on providing diversified, rules-based, low-cost exposure to late-stage, pre-IPO U.S. VC-backed "unicorn" companies via the OPEN Unicorn® Index Fund, which tracks a representative vintage of the NYSE® OPEN VC Unicorn® 20 Index (NYOV20L) and holds 20 of the largest VC-backed private companies in the United States.

Value Add

Rules-based indexing of private markets: the Fund "provides diversified, rules-based access to 20 of the largest VC-backed private companies in the United States."
Late-stage / pre-IPO specialization: targets a concentrated vintage of large private Unicorns rather than early-stage VC.
Institutional-grade, low-cost product design aimed at democratizing access: described as an "institutional-grade product" that offers "diversified, low-cost exposure."
Secondary market sourcing and co-investment potential: the manager sources shares "through OPEN's secondary market network" and "offers investors the potential for co-investment for each company in the fund where available."
Distribution partnerships / marketplace access: Fund is available directly or "through the SEI Access Marketplace," leveraging established alternatives infrastructure.
