WEBVTT 00:00:00.031 -- 00:00:05.777 Good morning, everyone, and welcome to EQT's Q1 2025 announcement. 00:00:05.777 -- 00:00:10.661 We executed strongly across fundraising, investments, and realizations throughout the 00:00:10.661 -- 00:00:15.486 quarter, with $4 billion of investments, $4 billion of exits, and another $4 billion 00:00:15.486 -- 00:00:20.491 of co-invest for our clients.

We will be joined by Per Francén, who will succeed Christian 00:00:42.060 -- 00:00:47.187 as CEO at our AGM in May.
