  2. Two new semi-liquid vehicles launched this week: CAZ Investments' CAZ GP Stakes Growth Fund, an interval fund charging a 1.5% management fee, and Adams Street's venture and growth evergreen fund with $363.5 million anchor capital.
  3. Under normal circumstances, the CAZ fund invests at least 80% of net assets in minority stakes in private asset managers.
