Alternative Fund Advisors, LLC (AFA) announced that its private credit interval fund, AMCLX, is available to registered investment advisors through Schwab’s Mutual Fund Marketplace.
“Expanding access to the AFA Multi-Manager Credit Fund through Schwab’s Mutual Fund Marketplace provides a wonderful opportunity for RIA’s to offer their clients a convenient and efficient way to access private investments in a registered fund format,” says Marco Hanig, AFA managing principal and co-founder.
“Low minimum investments, quarterly liquidity, and 1099 reporting are just some of the reasons why interval funds are an attractive structure for accredited investors and their advisors to tap into private credit.,” says Mike Jancosek, AFA head of distribution and co-founding principal.
The AFA Multi-Manager Credit Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high levels of income by investing in a range of public and private credit strategies. The Fund is diversified across multiple boutique institutional managers, each dedicated to sourcing and underwriting credit opportunities in specialist market niches around the world.

An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk.

Please read the prospectus carefully. An investment in the Fund is subject to, among others, the following risks:
- The Fund is not intended as a complete investment program, but rather the Fund is designed to help investors diversify into private equity investments.
- The Fund is a “non-diversified” management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
- An investment in the Fund involves risk. The Fund is new with no significant operating history by which to evaluate its potential performance. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s strategy will be successful.
- Shares of the Fund are not listed on any securities exchange and it is not anticipated that a secondary market for shares will develop.

- There is no assurance that you will be able to tender your shares when or in the amount that you desire. Although the Fund will offer quarterly liquidity through a quarterly repurchase process, an investor may not be able to sell or otherwise liquidate all their shares tendered during a quarterly repurchase offer.
- The Fund’s investment in private credit companies is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk associated with leverage.
- Diversification does not assure a profit, nor protect against loss in a declining market.
