Investing is a Virtuous Circle

Investing in what’s right
Value is already within firms and people. Our goal is to draw it out. By staying truly local, our team and a global network of more than 600 industrial advisors in more than 25 countries are well positioned to spot opportunities, talent, ideas and businesses with significant potential to grow and move society forward. This is how we find the right companies and assets to invest in across Private Capital, Infrastructure, and Real Estate.

Joining forces for growth
Partnering with a company means working closely with its management team and board to make sure all strengths are leveraged and combined. A long-term strategy, we call it a Full Potential Plan, is agreed and articulates clear priorities to drive growth and boost competitiveness.

Active ownership for long-term growth
You can only become a global leader in active ownership through commitment to consistently delivering true value. A hands-on approach requires trust by every stakeholder, something we build through track record, expertise and an open mind.

Three-Party Governance
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. With full alignment on the long term strategy between the chairperson, portfolio company CEO and an EQT advisory partner, a business is well set up to perform, grow and create gains for all stakeholders. This well established Troika-model means alignment, clear roles, open communication, and regular performance reviews.

Future-proofing
Secular trends drive large systemic shifts, creating both challenges and opportunities. With a firm ambition to be more than capital, we invest behind positive trends with the aim of helping businesses grow with them.

Future-proofing companies is a multidimensional trade, best explained with real world examples, but it centers on positioning them for long-term success. When businesses can attract top talent, embrace digital transformation, advance sustainability, and strengthen their operational foundations, they experience positive momentum and have potential to grow from good to great. And we are present every step of the way.

Dedicated exit management
Once our goals are met, we step away by finding the right next owner or guiding our companies through a public listing, so they can continue their growth journey.

Long-lasting value
We build companies with a long-term view, one that extends far beyond our ownership. We believe this delivers performance for our clients, while creating gains that move society forward.

Key learnings for the future
Always looking to develop, we relentlessly improve our ability to build better businesses by sharing what we’ve learned and passing that knowledge on. These key insights help us find better ways to create value, time and time again.
