No, the investment is made directly and in full upon acquisition of the shares, as with regular funds and ETFs. There are no capital calls during the holding period for the BlackRock Private Equity Fund and no obligation to make additional contributions. You can benefit from possible price increases of the fund directly from the date of purchase (execution date).
The shares are accumulating (i.e. shares in which all profits are capitalised). No distributions are made. The fund holds a (regulatory required) liquid reserve in order to meet possible subscriptions and redemptions between the fund issuer and investors.
Investments involve risks. Liquidity restrictions apply. Consider specific product information.
