Unicorn Asset Class Growth
Over the past decade, the average time to IPO for a venture-backed, private growth company has increased and many of the most successful venture-backed, private growth companies have remained private. More than 1,000 unicorns (private companies with valuations in excess of $1 billion) have been created, with an aggregate market cap in excess of $3 trillion. As a result, significant value creation has accrued to private market investors.

Investment Strategy
Passive Approach
The Collective Liquidity Fund combines a passive approach to portfolio management with a unique method of sourcing shares in the most promising private growth companies. Rather than the “classic” venture capital approach of attempting to outperform the market with a relatively small number of investments, the Fund seeks to generally represent the returns of the late-stage, private growth asset category by aggregating shares of over 100 leading unicorns on a rolling basis through Collective's online platform.
Unique Acquisition Pipeline
The Collective Liquidity Fund acquires these shares primarily by having the employees and shareholders of the targeted companies exchange their shares for partnership interests in exchange funds affiliated with the Collective Liquidity Fund. Because such exchanges do no trigger capital gains taxes under U.S. tax laws, the employees are able to diversify much more cost effectively than they could by selling their shares and purchasing diversifying assets with the after-tax proceeds. If the exchanger needs liquidity, they are able to borrow via a non-recourse loan secured by their partnership interests. Many unicorn employees can generate substantially more after-tax liquidity from such loans than they can from stock sales. As a result, where other secondary funds must compete for deals one-by-one, the Fund benefits from a unique, scalable, fully digitized pipeline of the most desirable shares.
Experienced Team
The Collective Liquidity Fund is comprised of the Collective Investment Committee. The Committee is comprised of experienced venture capitalists and fund managers. The Committee is responsible for selecting companies for the Fund’s portfolio and overseeing the Collective Private Market Valuation Algorithm which dynamically prices portfolio company shares (see below).
Portfolio Company Selection
Only shares of companies in the Collective Liquidity Fund’s Target Portfolio are eligible for exchange into the Fund. Companies are selected for the Target Portfolio by the Collective Investment Committee ("IC"). Comprised of experienced, accomplished venture capitalists, the IC first screens U.S. private growth companies valued at over $1B by a number of objective criteria including the backing of certain recognized venture capital firms. The IC then reviews the remaining companies, selecting those that have the best risk adjusted opportunities for long term value creation. Collective's Target Portfolio is updated continuously and always viewable on the Portfolio page of the Collective website.

Portfolio Diversification
The Collective Liquidity Fund’s assets are primarily in the form of late-stage, venture-backed, private growth company equities. The Fund’s equities exposure is diversified across technology industry sectors and individual companies within those sectors. Over time, the Fund will target a maximum equities allocation to any industry sector of 20% of Fund assets and a maximum allocation to any single company of 5% of Fund assets.
Private Market Algorithm
Collective's proprietary Private Market Valuation and Allocation Algorithm dynamically prices unicorn shares and allocates capital and exchange eligibility on a rolling basis. Consistent with the Fund's passive investment strategy, the algorithm values shares by integrating a variety of private market pricing signals (e.g., company financings, secondary transactions, etc.) to estimate the current market clearing price at a point in time. As a result, the Fund can transact in the shares of many different unicorns simultaneously and the Fund's limited partners benefit from a unique degree of transparency into the value of their investment. The algorithm's construction, its data inputs and pricing analysis are continually reviewed by the Investment Committee.
Liquidity
To provide its limited partners with liquidity, the Collective Liquidity Fund permits redemptions of limited partnership interests for cash. After an initial holding period (typically three years), limited partners may redeem some or all of their partnership interests for the amount implied by the Fund’s net asset value on the redemption date. Note that the Fund’s aggregate redemption obligation in any given quarter are limited to four percent of the Fund’s total assets under management.

Investors will be required to verify their status as an “Accredited Investor” pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D to participate in any offering of the Fund’s limited partnership interests. No securities commission or regulatory authority has recommended or approved any investment or the accuracy or completeness of any of the information or materials provided by or through Collective Liquidity, Inc. or Collective Asset Management, LLC (collectively, “Collective Liquidity”).
Limited partnership interests in the Fund are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of Collective Liquidity and are not guaranteed by Collective Liquidity. Limited partnership interests in the Fund are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal invested.
Prospective investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing in the Fund. This and other important information are contained in the Fund’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”), which can be obtained by contacting Collective Liquidity.
Investment in the Fund involves substantial risk and any offering may only be made pursuant to the relevant PPM and the relevant subscription application, all of which must be read in their entirety. No offer to purchase securities will be made or accepted prior to receipt by the offeree of these documents and the completion of all appropriate documentation. The Fund intends to primarily invest in securities of private, late-stage, venture-backed growth companies. There are significant potential risks relating to investing in such securities. The Fund is not suitable for investors who cannot bear the risk of loss of all or part of their investment. The Fund is appropriate only for investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. The Fund has no history of public trading and investors should not expect to sell limited partnership interests in the Fund. No secondary market exists for the Fund’s limited partnership interests, and none is expected to develop. The Exchange Fund has a limited operating history, and its performance is highly dependent upon the expertise and abilities of its manager. There is no assurance that the Exchange Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved, and results may vary substantially over time. This is not a complete enumeration of the Fund’s risks. Please read the Fund’s PPM for other risk factors related to the Fund. Although the manager of the Exchange Fund will value its portfolio using the Private Market Valuation Algorithm, it can be difficult to obtain financial and other information with respect to private companies, and even where the manager is able to obtain such information, there can be no assurance that it is complete or accurate. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain and may be based on estimates, the manager’s determinations of fair market value may differ materially from the values that would be assessed if a readily available market for these securities existed.
