STOCKHOLM, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --
Strong progress and performance in H1
"In a volatile environment we were able to unlock attractive primary deals and make strong progress on our value creation agenda. At the same time, we stayed disciplined driving realisations and sent back close to €17 billion to fund and co-investors, further building on a record year of exits in 2025. We expanded and strengthened our client offering and are currently in the market with over 20 funds; interest from private market investors and distribution partners in EQT products remains high. Thanks to very strong fundraising momentum and value creation during the quarter, our recently launched AI Infrastructure fund reached more than $9 billion in NAV in less than three months post launch. Our evergreen platform reached €10 billion in net asset value1 and the Scaleup Europe Fund is off to a very promising start. The combination with Coller Capital is on track to close in Q3 and will further strengthen EQT's client relationships. Going forward, in an environment that is likely to remain challenging, EQT is exceptionally well positioned to deliver for clients and take market share."
