An Evergreen Version of Dawson’s Structured Secondary Private Equity Strategy – substantial anchor-class fee discount

Nov / 03 / 25

Mid-September marked the launch of Spartan’s DP PF Access Fund, (the “Fund”), a Canadian-domiciled continuously-offered “evergreen” version of Dawson Partners’ structured secondary private equity strategy.  To date, Dawson has raised over US$1B in various similar vehicles across the globe.

 

The Fund will invest alongside Dawson’s flagship closed-end funds into portfolios of diversified structured secondary private equity investments with annual returns targeted in the approx. 10%-11% range, net of fees.

 

Unlike previous closed-end Dawson vehicles, the Fund will be available to Accredited Investors and eligible for Registered Accounts.

 

All units are C$-denominated and are available in Class A and Class F versions as either distributing or DRIP units.  Annual distributions are targeted in the approx. 8% range and the majority of such distributions should be classified as capital gains.

 

There is a significant “anchor-class” fee discount available until the earlier of (i) DP PF raising C$200M in the Fund and (ii) March 31, 2026:

  • the anchor-class Management Fee is 0.95% as compared to 1.45% for the non-anchor class
  • the anchor-class has no Performance Fee, compared to 10% over a 5% hurdle for the non-anchor class

 

Subscriptions into the Fund are monthly on the 21st of the month or preceding business day (if the 21st falls on a weekend or holiday). Redemptions are on the last business day of each calendar quarter, subject to 55 calendar days notice.
