# What are the expected returns?
It is not possible to place an expectation on returns given the early-stage nature of venture.
While this asset class provides the possibility of outsized returns relative to others, this is balanced with a higher risk. Our funds have varying degrees of diversification and strategy to help investors construct a portfolio in line with their risk appetites and investment strategies. Ultimately, the success of a particular early-stage venture fund is defined by whether it has one or more major liquidity events from within its portfolio.
