Monitor the final tender results after October 23, 2026 to gauge shareholder demand for liquidity. If oversubscribed, the Fund may extend or prorate, indicating stronger-than-expected redemption pressure. The Fund's ability to liquidate underlying fund positions without gating will determine payment timing.
Executive Summary
A&Q Multi-Strategy Fund, a closed-end fund with no secondary market for its shares, is launching a quarterly issuer tender offer to repurchase up to $59,000,000 of its outstanding shares at net asset value (NAV). The offer runs from September 25 to October 23, 2026, with the purchase price determined as of December 31, 2026. This is a routine liquidity mechanism for shareholders, not a signal of undervaluation or activist pressure.
