EQT is to launch EQT Active Core Infrastructure, a longer-hold fund with a focus on downside protection, which applies EQT’s active ownership playbook to core infrastructure companies.
The fund will target companies that provide essential services to society and offer a distinct and attractive risk-return proposition based on stable cash yield generation, inflation protection, low volatility, and pursuit of longer-term value creation opportunities, while actively contributing to the Fund’s sustainability objectives. It will have an ownership horizon of 15 to 25 years.
The Fund has a target size of EUR5 billion and will leverage the expertise and deal sourcing capabilities of the EQT Infrastructure platform’s sector teams, local market access and proven value creation toolbox.
