EQT Private Capital Asia's Mid-Market Growth Fund has successfully raised $1.6 billion.

-



EQT Private Capital Asia's recent fund, the BPEA EQT Mid-Market Growth Partnership (MMG Fund), has secured $1.6 billion, significantly surpassing its original target of $750 million. The MMG Fund's strategy involves investing in high-growth mid-market companies throughout Asia, utilizing EQT's large-cap buyout expertise.

Fund Focus and Strategy

The MMG Fund concentrates on sectors such as technology, healthcare, and various service industries, with a particular focus on India, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Australia. Jean Salata, Chairman of EQT Asia and Head of the EQT Private Capital Asia advisory team, highlighted their long-standing investment presence in Asia over nearly three decades. He noted that due to the growth of their large-cap platform, they lacked a dedicated capital pool for promising mid-market companies.

Investment Strategies and Achievements

The MMG Fund has already made four investments: two in India, one in Malaysia, and one in Japan. Nicholas Macksey, Partner at EQT Private Capital Asia, expressed enthusiasm about the team's rapid progress with the new fund, indicating a strong pipeline and optimism about future opportunities in Asia’s dynamic mid-market segment.

Alignment with EQT's Broader Strategy

The MMG Fund is part of EQT's broader aim to expand mid-market investments across Asia, complementing its large-cap buyout strategy. By leveraging EQT's extensive pan-Asian presence, which includes over 100 investment professionals across eight offices, the fund aims to capitalize on the region’s projected contribution of 60% to global GDP by the end of 2024.
