Some brokers currently offer the opportunity to invest in private equity funds, for example, BlackRock’s fund.Couldn’t Trading 212 offer such a fund in collaboration with BlackRock or another player, but with a lower initial investment? (At Scalable Capital, for example, it is only available with a high Deposit )

Investment trusts may be another option if your goal is to add private equity exposure.

Below are links to the PE/growth capital ones, a fair few will available be on 212.

Other broader trusts like FCIT, FCSS, SMT etc offer some PE too, usually between 10% and 30%.

Thanks @topher, that is an interesting point. I completely agree that Investment Trusts are an intersting route here.

It would be a massive value-add if Trading 212 could introduce a dedicated **‘Private Equity’ or ‘Investment Trusts’ theme in the search menu**. Having these existing products automatically grouped together under one specific category would allow investors to easily discover and add PE exposure to their portfolios with a single click."
