Winners Rationale
“A key to EQT’s private equity playbook is control buyout of high-quality companies, particularly in the healthcare and technology sectors. By leveraging its operational toolbox and value creation initiatives, such as enhanced governance that is rooted in its Nordic heritage, the firm helps its portfolio companies to improve profit margins,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“The firm’s BPEA Private Equity Fund VII has achieved exceptional financial results, including a robust gross multiple on invested capital and a stellar gross internal rate of return, firmly positioning it as an industry leader. The fund’s impressive distribution record, driven by a series of successful exits initiated this year, further validates its success.
“Drawing on EQT’s deep expertise in Asia, the fund built a resilient and high-performing portfolio, offering Asia’s private wealth investors a compelling complementary solution as they seek non-US exposure amid shifting market and geopolitical dynamics.
“The success of this fund also helps to build a solid foundation for the continuous interest in EQT’s differentiated Asia proposition, which is reflected in the inflow into its ninth Asia regional private equity fund.“The firm’s commitment to Asia’s private wealth sector is exemplified by the extensive on-the-ground support it offers to clients across the region. For these reasons and more, Asian Private Banker is thrilled to present EQT with the Best Fund Provider – Private Market – Close-Ended award.”
