GateVest SICAV p.l.c.

Overview

GateVest SICAV p.l.c. is a Malta-based fund of funds providing professional investors with diversified access to global private equity funds through an institutional-grade platform. The company aims to democratize private markets by enabling individual and institutional investors to invest alongside the world’s largest pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments. GateVest's mission is to unlock access to top investment managers and funds with a proven track record of superior returns. The company offers entry to elite private equity funds that have traditionally been inaccessible to smaller investors, operating under the oversight of the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) to ensure legal compliance and investor protection. GateVest's founder, Michael Kollar, has nearly two decades of experience in investment banking and private equity across New York, London, Munich, and Prague. He co-invests substantially, taking a first-loss position, meaning his capital is utilized to cover other investors’ losses. This strong alignment ensures that the interests of the founder and investors are closely tied. GateVest's flagship vehicle, the GateVest Global Private Equity Fund, is an evergreen, open-ended fund that invests primarily in mid-market private equity across North America and Europe. The mid-market segment, comprised of smaller and mid-sized funds, has historically outperformed the broad U.S. stock market nearly by a factor of two, generating net returns of 19% annually. GateVest's structure ensures strong investor alignment via a first-loss mechanism, where the founder’s capital is used to absorb losses before any investor funds are impacted. The company applies a meticulous fund selection process: screening thousands of managers, conducting rigorous due diligence, interviewing management teams, running background checks, and scrutinizing investment strategies before selecting a fund. GateVest operates its own secondary market, offering investors exit options despite the illiquid nature of the underlying assets. The fund is regularly and independently audited by Deloitte, the world’s largest audit firm, ensuring transparency and accountability. GateVest's approach focuses on providing diversified and cost-effective access to top-tier private equity and private market funds, historically reserved for large institutional investors committing tens of millions of euros. By aggregating investments from a diverse group of investors, GateVest enables participation in opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach for individual investors.
