Simon Quick Launches Private Equity Fund to Enhance Client Access to Private Markets

In a groundbreaking move for wealth management, Simon Quick Advisors has recently inaugurated the Simon Quick Private Equity Fund I LP, aimed at streamlining how clients access private equity investments. The new fund marks the firm's commitment to transforming the private market experience, building on its two decades of expertise in this area.

This venture aims to simplify the historically fragmented process of investing in private equity, which has often been laden with operational complexities. According to Christopher Moore, Managing Partner at Simon Quick Advisors, this fund was designed with the ideal of reducing burdens on clients while ensuring easy access to valuable investment opportunities. "Private equity has historically been fragmented and operationally burdensome for clients. We built this fund with the aim of simplifying that experience, without sacrificing access, discipline, or alignment," Moore stated.

The fund held its initial closing on March 31, 2026, securing around $60 million in commitments, with goals to reach a total of $100 million by the end of the year. Additional closings will take place throughout 2026 and into early 2027, providing ongoing opportunities for clients to invest alongside Simon Quick Advisors.

As the characteristics of public companies evolve, the median age of companies going public is now approximately 13 years, up from just 10 in 2018. With the trend of companies remaining private longer than before, investors are increasingly on the lookout for diverse investment options. The Simon Quick Private Equity Fund aims to address this demand by providing a holistic approach to capital allocation.

One of the key advantages of the fund-of-funds structure is that it allows Simon Quick's investment team to diversify capital across various managers and direct opportunities rather than forcing clients to evaluate each deal individually. This will ease the investment process, as clients can make a minimum commitment of $500,000, pending a standard suitability review that assesses risk tolerance and investment timelines.

Furthermore, Simon Quick promises that there will be no additional management fees at the fund level beyond clients' regular advisory fees. This ensures a more cost-effective way for clients to gain access to private equity investments. The launch of the fund has already seen participation from 30 employees of Simon Quick Advisors, including their investments alongside clients, showcasing a strong commitment to shared outcomes.

In contrast to traditional private equity structures, which often involve multiple capital calls and separate documentation processes, the Simon Quick Private Equity Fund combines all requisite elements—capital calls, reporting, and tax forms—into a singular streamlined program. This design significantly reduces administrative hassle for clients, making account transfers and estate planning considerably simpler.

Furthermore, the unique structure supports thoughtful and tax-efficient wealth transfer strategies that can greatly benefit clients in their long-term financial planning. With innovative features and a client-focused approach, this launch reveals Simon Quick Advisors' dedication to enhancing accessibility and efficiency in private equity investments.

Founded in 2004, Simon Quick Advisors has established itself as a key player in independent wealth management. The firm oversees a significant total of $11.2 billion in Assets Under Advisement and $9.0 billion in Assets Under Management by the end of 2025. Headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey, Simon Quick Advisors caters to high-net-worth individuals and families across the United States, consolidating expertise and personalized service underlined by a strong advisor-to-client ratio.
