Semiliquid Funds Are Booming, And Alture Funds Is Helping Drive Access

The private markets revolution is gaining serious momentum and semiliquid funds are at the center of it. As highlighted in Morningstar’s 2025 “State of Semiliquid Funds” report, investor appetite for limited-liquidity funds with exposure to private credit and other alternatives continues to grow rapidly. At Alture Funds, we’re proud to be part of this expansion, empowering everyday investors with access to opportunities that were once reserved for institutions and the ultra-wealthy.

A Rapidly Expanding Market

According to Morningstar, assets in semiliquid funds surged to nearly $350 billion by the end of 2024, up from $215 billion just two years earlier. These funds typically offer quarterly or periodic redemptions and invest in private assets such as credit, real estate, and infrastructure—areas that have historically delivered attractive returns but were difficult for non-institutional investors to access.

One of the biggest developments? Private credit has overtaken real estate and infrastructure as the dominant asset class in the semiliquid space, reaching $188 billion in net assets in 2024—more than doubling in two years.

Interval Funds Are Leading the Charge

A major driver of this growth is the rise of interval funds, a flexible structure that blends periodic liquidity with access to high-quality, private market assets. Morningstar reports that nearly 20 new interval funds launched through May 2025, with the year on pace to break last year’s record of 27 launches.

Interval funds are increasingly favored by wealth managers and brokerages because of their operational ease, ticker-based accessibility, and predictable redemption schedules. However, the vast majority of these funds are still not available on major retail platforms like Schwab, Fidelity, or Vanguard. Most investors can only access them through financial advisors or platforms like Alture Funds.

How Alture Funds Fits In

Alture Funds is playing an important role in this market transformation. We’ve built a digital platform that gives everyday investors simplified access to institutional-caliber alternative investments—including semiliquid funds in private credit, real estate, and more.

Whether you're a first-time alternative investor or an experienced allocator looking to diversify, Alture Funds allows you to invest like the professionals—with transparency, reduced minimums, and direct access to some of the fastest-growing segments in private markets.

The Future Is Semiliquid—and More Accessible

While barriers still remain—particularly in fees, transparency, and availability through mainstream retail channels—the semiliquid fund landscape is evolving fast. With $12 trillion in defined contribution assets now in the sights of fund managers, and regulatory frameworks continuing to mature, the future looks bright for broader participation.

Alture Funds is excited to help democratize access to these powerful investment vehicles—and we’re just getting started.
