EQT, the Swedish private equity firm that manages €269bn in assets, has launched a European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) as part of its Nexus Infrastructure evergreen strategy.
The company said the move would further broaden access to private markets for eligible individuals and institutions across the EU and EEA. EQT Nexus ELTIF Infrastructure will provide exposure to EQT’s global infrastructure platform, spanning many sectors including digital and social infrastructure and energy and environmental, EQT added.
Peter Beske Nielsen, global head of wealth solutions at EQT, said: “The launch of EQT Nexus ELTIF Infrastructure marks an important step in the evolution of EQT’s wealth solutions platform – enabling new distribution partnerships and reaching client segments that remain underallocated to private markets.”
EQT Nexus ELTIF Infrastructure is an extension of EQT’s existing Nexus Infrastructure evergreen strategy, EQT said. The fund is designed to give individual investors and institutions exposure to similar deal flow and value-creation opportunities as institutional investors in EQT’s closed-ended infrastructure funds, it added.
“Infrastructure is the backbone of resilient societies – and for investors, it can offer a combination of long-term capital appreciation, resilient downside protection and an inflation hedge,” said Beske Nielsen.
