Simon Quick Launches Private Equity Fund to Simplify How Clients Access Private Markets

New fund-of-funds vehicle builds on two decades of private markets experience, delivering
consolidated administration, simplified tax and estate planning, and aligned investment
opportunities

MORRISTOWN, N.J., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Simon Quick Advisors, a national independent wealth management and multi-family office firm, announced the recent launch of the Simon Quick Private Equity Fund I LP, its first dedicated private equity vehicle. The fund held its initial close on March 31, 2026, with approximately $60 million in commitments and is targeting $100 million by year end. Additional closes are planned throughout the remainder of 2026 and into early 2027.

The launch reflects Simon Quick’s long-standing role as an active investor in private equity and private markets, which continues to represent a growing share of the investible universe by both number and scale. The median age of companies going public is now 13 years (up from 10 years in 2018), and with companies remaining private longer, investors are looking for broader diversification and return potential. By creating a dedicated vehicle, the firm can allocate capital more holistically across strategies, while also pursuing co-investments within a single, programmatic structure.

“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,” said Christopher Moore, Managing Partner at Simon Quick Advisors. “We have actively shared private equity opportunities with clients for years as part of our broader investment solutions. This new fund allows us to be more comprehensive in sourcing, evaluating, and monitoring opportunities while consolidating capital calls, reporting, and tax documentation into one streamlined program. Clients receive a single K-1, and administrative tasks such as account transfers or estate planning become significantly simpler.”

The fund-of-funds structure enables Simon Quick’s investment team to deploy capital across a diversified set of managers and direct opportunities over time, rather than requiring clients to evaluate and commit on a deal-by-deal basis. Participation is available to eligible clients with a minimum commitment of $500,000, subject to the firm’s standard suitability review, including risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment timeline. Simon Quick charges no additional management fees at the fund level for their clients above their standard advisory fee, which ensures efficient and scalable access.

There has been broad client participation as of the initial close, with 30 Simon Quick employees investing alongside clients reinforcing the firm’s commitment to shared outcomes with its clients. Much of this is due to a better structure that does not include additional complexity. Traditional private equity commitments often involve multiple capital calls, separate reporting streams, and individual tax documents. In contrast, the new fund consolidates these elements, reducing burden while preserving the firm’s rigorous due diligence process. Ownership transfers, retitling, or intergenerational planning are also simplified within a single structure, supporting more thoughtful, tax-efficient wealth transfer strategies.
