Morningstar’s Q4 2025 US Evergreen Fund Landscape Preview shows the U.S. evergreen fund market has grown rapidly—approaching roughly $500 billion in assets—as “semi-liquid” private market vehicles (interval funds, tender offer funds, unlisted REITs/BDCs) expand access beyond traditional institutional investors. It highlights increasing product launches, greater adoption by advisors and individuals, and a trajectory that could push evergreen assets above $1 trillion by the decade’s end, driven by broader private market inclusion and evolving investor preferences.
