Investopedia explains 'Crossover Fund'

To find out if a fund is a crossover fund, simply look at the general investments that it makes, either by examining its holdings, or by looking at the fund's prospectus. If you realize the fund does hold both public and private equity, then that particular fund is indeed a crossover fund.
