SAN FRANCISCO -- (Business Wire)

Powerlaw Capital Group, LLC, an asset management platform focused on expanding access to private technology investing through publicly traded investment vehicles, today announced it has publicly filed a registration statement on Form N-2 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the proposed launch of its second registered fund. The filing follows the successful May 27th, 2026, direct listing of Powerlaw Corp. (Nasdaq: PWRL), a closed-end fund designed to provide exposure to high-growth private technology companies through a single Nasdaq-listed security.

The new fund is expected to be advised by Powerlaw Fund Adviser, LLC, and intends to apply to list as a publicly traded closed-end fund on a US securities exchange.

"The private markets continue to produce many of the world's most innovative and valuable companies," said Mike Dinsdale, Chief Executive Officer of Powerlaw Capital Group, LLC. "We're focused on giving public investors the kind of access to private markets that has historically been reserved for institutions and ultra-high-net-worth investors. The launch of our second fund is the next step in our mission."

Additional details regarding the timing of any potential offering, exchange listing, and commencement of operations will be announced at a later date, subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.

An investment in Powerlaw Fund II is speculative and involves a high degree of risk with substantial risk of loss. Shares of closed-end funds such as Powerlaw Fund II frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop or be maintained. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

Powerlaw Fund II is a closed-end fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Closed-end funds differ from open-end funds in that closed-end funds do not redeem their shares at the request of an investor. No shareholder has the right to require Powerlaw Fund II to redeem his, her, or its shares. While Powerlaw Fund II’s shares are expected to be listed on an exchange, an active public market for the shares may not develop. As a result, shareholders may not be able to liquidate their investment. Accordingly, shareholders should consider that they may not have access to the funds they invest in Powerlaw Fund II for an indefinite period of time. There is no assurance that Powerlaw Fund II will achieve its investment objective, or that the private companies in which Powerlaw Fund II invests will ever have a liquidity event.
