Questions investors ask about Jura Capital

Jura Capital is a private markets introducer. Jura Capital introduces qualified investors to selected opportunities across private equity and alternative assets, and works with growth-stage companies seeking capital.

Jura Capital is not a fund and not an asset manager. Jura Capital does not advise, does not manage money and does not pool capital. Investors contract directly with the provider of the underlying opportunity.

Jura Capital operates as the trading name of Atlantic Crest Partners FZCO, Company No. 58844.

Jura Capital was co-founded by Charlie Hasberry and Alexander Woodhead, who both hold the role of Managing Director. The wider team includes private markets consultants and business development, marketing and operations staff.

Every member of the Jura Capital team is named on the About page with their role and background, and the firm maintains a company profile on LinkedIn.

Jura Capital can be contacted by email at info@jura-capital.com, or through the enquiry form on the contact page. A member of the team will respond directly.

Jura Capital also maintains a company page on LinkedIn.

Access is limited to investors who meet recognised eligibility definitions, in practice High-Net-Worth Individuals and Sophisticated Investors, alongside family offices and professional intermediaries.

This is a function of the opportunities themselves. Private market offerings carry eligibility requirements, and Jura Capital confirms an investor's status before sharing detailed materials. If an investor does not meet the criteria, Jura Capital will say so early.

Jura Capital reviews far more opportunities than it introduces. The firm looks for opportunities with a clear structure, credible people behind them, terms an investor can understand, and a time horizon that matches the private markets investors Jura Capital works with.

Selection is a filter, not an endorsement of outcome. An opportunity being introduced by Jura Capital does not mean it will perform, and each investor should form their own view and take their own advice.

No. Jura Capital is an introducer rather than an investor in the opportunities it presents. Jura Capital does not manage money, does not pool investor capital and does not take discretionary decisions on an investor's behalf.

Investors participate directly with the provider of the underlying opportunity.

Jura Capital provides access to two broad categories. Private equity covers growth-stage private companies, including pre-IPO and secondary opportunities. Alternative assets covers tangible, less-correlated holdings such as physical commodities, collectibles and other real assets.

Jura Capital also runs a separate capital raising practice for growth-stage companies seeking investment, which is a service to companies rather than an investment opportunity.

The process begins with a conversation. A consultant at Jura Capital discusses what an investor is looking for, their time horizon and their existing exposure, and confirms eligibility.

If there is a fit, Jura Capital shares details of a relevant opportunity along with the documentation provided by the underlying provider. The investor reviews it in their own time, asks questions and, where they choose to proceed, contracts directly with the provider of that opportunity.

There is no obligation at any stage, and Jura Capital does not make the decision for an investor.

A member of the Jura Capital team makes contact directly, usually within one business day. The first conversation is a discussion rather than a transaction: what an investor is looking for, what they already hold, and whether an available opportunity is relevant.

Detailed materials are shared only after eligibility has been confirmed. Expressing interest does not commit an investor to anything.

Yes. Every introduction made by Jura Capital starts with a conversation, and investors can speak to a consultant before receiving any materials.

There is no cost to that conversation and no obligation to proceed. Jura Capital does not provide investment advice, so the discussion is about the opportunity and the process rather than a recommendation on what an individual should do.

Yes. Every investment introduced by Jura Capital puts capital at risk, and an investor can lose some or all of the money they invest.

Private market investments are not covered by the protections that apply to bank deposits. Past performance of any manager, asset class or opportunity is not a guide to future results.

No. Jura Capital does not guarantee returns, income or the return of capital, and does not present any opportunity as guaranteed.

Where an underlying provider describes a target return, that is a target rather than a promise, and it may not be achieved.

Private market investments are higher risk than listed investments for several structural reasons. They are illiquid, so an investor cannot usually exit on demand. They are less transparent, because there is no daily price and reporting is periodic. They are concentrated, so the outcome often depends on a single company or a single asset. And valuations are estimated rather than set by a live market.

These characteristics are also the reason private markets can behave differently from public markets. They are a trade-off, not a free advantage.

Usually not. Private market investments are illiquid by nature, and there is generally no ready secondary market allowing an investor to sell at a time of their choosing.

Exit typically depends on an event such as a sale, a refinancing, an IPO or the end of a fixed term. Investors should assume their capital is committed until such an event occurs.

The holding period depends entirely on the individual opportunity and is set out in that opportunity's own documentation. Private market investments commonly run over multi-year horizons.

Timelines can extend beyond the original expectation. Investors should be comfortable with capital being unavailable for longer than anticipated.

The outcome sits with the underlying investment. Jura Capital is an introducer and does not manage the investment, so it cannot control performance and cannot compensate for a loss.

Investors hold their interest directly with the provider of the opportunity, and reporting and communication on performance come through that relationship. Jura Capital remains contactable and will help an investor get answers, but the commercial outcome rests with the investment itself.

Jura Capital focuses on private markets because that is where the firm's relationships and expertise sit. A large share of economic activity now happens in companies and assets that never list publicly, and the investors Jura Capital works with are looking for exposure beyond listed equities and bonds.

That focus does not make private markets better than public markets. It makes them different, with a different risk and liquidity profile.

Public markets trade listed securities on an exchange, with daily pricing, standardised disclosure and the ability to buy and sell at short notice. Private markets involve investments in companies and assets that are not listed.

In private markets, pricing is periodic rather than continuous, disclosure is contractual rather than standardised, holding periods are longer and exit depends on a specific event. Access is also restricted, which is why eligibility requirements apply.

Private market offerings are generally made available only to defined categories of investor, such as High-Net-Worth Individuals and Sophisticated Investors. This reflects the rules that apply to how such offerings can be promoted, and the complexity and illiquidity of the investments themselves.

The restriction exists to keep unsuitable investors out, not to imply that the opportunity is superior.

Eligibility requirements exist because these investments assume a level of financial resilience and experience. They are illiquid, can lose value in full, and are difficult to assess without familiarity with private market structures.

Jura Capital confirms an investor's eligibility before sharing detailed materials on an opportunity.

Access means being shown an opportunity that an investor would not otherwise see, at a point where participation is still possible. Many private market opportunities are filled through existing relationships before they ever become widely known.

For Jura Capital, access also means a direct line to a named person who can explain how an opportunity is structured and answer questions before any decision is made.

No. Access changes what an investor can consider. It does not change whether an individual investment succeeds.

Selection, structure, pricing, timing and risk all still determine the outcome, and private market investments can and do lose money. Any suggestion that access alone produces better returns should be treated with caution, including from Jura Capital.

Jura Capital publishes written commentary in two places. The Insights section carries longer articles on private markets, and the Jura Market Brief is a weekly email covering the previous week's market movements, with every past edition readable on the site.

Both are free to read and require no registration.

Ask for the underlying documentation and check it against its original source. Materials on an opportunity are produced by the provider of that opportunity, and Jura Capital will identify who that is so an investor can look them up independently.

Jura Capital encourages prospective investors to take their own professional advice and to verify anything material before committing capital. If something is unclear, ask, and if an answer is not available, Jura Capital will say so rather than fill the gap.

Questions and concerns can be raised directly by email at info@jura-capital.com or through the contact form, and will be routed to a member of the Jura Capital team.

If a concern relates to an underlying investment rather than to Jura Capital, the team will identify the correct party and help make the connection.
