About Fairway Private Equity & Venture Capital Opportunities Fund

Fairway Private Equity & Venture Capital Opportunities Fund is a US-based listed investment vehicle, referenced in the US equity market context as a NYSE/NASDAQ-listed company for investor-access purposes, although it is fundamentally a closed-end private markets fund rather than a conventional operating business. The fund is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company. Public filings and company materials indicate it was organized on August 9, 2021 and launched in January 2022 by Fairway Capital Management, an investment firm founded by five former colleagues from Adams Street Partners. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1877967/000158064222006179/fairwayncsrs.htm?utm_source=openai)) The fund’s core objective is long-term capital appreciation through exposure to private equity and venture capital. Under normal market conditions, it expects to invest at least 80% of net assets, plus any investment borrowing, in private equity and venture capital opportunities. Those investments may include primary and secondary commitments to third-party-managed funds, direct investments in private operating companies, and co-investments or special-purpose vehicles structured to access private market assets. In practical terms, this means the fund provides investors with institutional-style access to private assets that are typically difficult for retail or even smaller professional investors to reach directly.

The fund’s publicly disclosed holdings show allocations across well-known private equity and venture franchises, direct SPV-style exposures, and illiquid positions, which points to a curated multi-manager model. This makes the offering relevant for investors looking for diversified exposure to the private markets ecosystem rather than a single-sector or single-manager bet. ([fairwaycapm.com](https://fairwaycapm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Fairway-SOI-12.31.23.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, the fund is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, United States, with its principal office at One South Wacker Drive, Suite 1050, Chicago, IL 60606. That location also appears in SEC filings, underscoring that Fairway is a US-domiciled investment platform with a domestic operational base while investing in private market opportunities that may span the United States and, depending on fund selection, broader global markets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1877967/0001398344-24-023291-index.html?utm_source=openai)) In terms of recent developments, Fairway has continued to publish quarterly and semiannual reporting and has provided periodic portfolio updates. The fund reported a 5.00% increase in net asset value for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and a 1.77% increase in net asset value for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. It has also used tender-offer mechanics typical of closed-end private market funds to manage shareholder liquidity. For investors, the key takeaway is that Fairway is a publicly followed US private-markets access vehicle with a Chicago headquarters, a long-term capital appreciation mandate, and an actively managed portfolio spanning primary funds, secondaries, and direct venture/private equity exposures.
