EQT PARTNERS SAS

EQT Partners SAS is led by Conni Jonsson, founder and Chair of EQT AB, with Christian Sinding as CEO and Kim Henriksson as Chair of the Investment Advisory Board (per EQT's 2023 annual report). Day-to-day investment decisions are made by partnership and sector teams.

EQT is a publicly-listed asset manager, not a family office. It was originally seeded by Investor AB (Wallenberg sphere) but operates independently. Its ownership is diversified among public shareholders, with no single controlling family.

EQT sources deals through its industrial advisor network of 100+ senior executives who provide insights into sectors and companies. The firm also leverages in-house thematic research and long-standing relationships with corporates and entrepreneurs in its focus sectors: healthcare, technology, services, and industrials.

EQT targets the full spectrum from venture/growth to large-cap buyouts and infrastructure. Its strategies include EQT Ventures (seed to Series B), EQT Growth (growth equity), EQT Private Capital (buyout/control deals), and EQT Infrastructure (core-plus and value-add infrastructure).

EQT primarily invests through its own commingled funds, which are raised from external institutional investors (LPs) and co-invested by EQT's own balance sheet. It does not act as a fund-of-funds or a family office allocating to other managers.

EQT raises capital from institutional investors including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, and endowments across Europe, North America, and Asia. As a public company, it also has equity capital from shareholders listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

EQT publicly excludes investments in controversial weapons, tobacco, and certain high-carbon assets as part of its sustainability policy. Its sector focus is primarily healthcare, technology, services, industry, and infrastructure, avoiding most pure commodity-based extractive industries.
