STOCKHOLM, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EQT has today set the target size for EQT Private Capital Asia’s BPEA Private Equity Fund IX (the “Fund” or “BPEA IX”) at USD 12.5 billion. The actual fund size is dependent on the outcome of the fundraising process and may be higher or lower than the target size; the hard cap of the fund will be set at a later date. BPEA IX’s investment strategy is expected to be materially in line with the predecessor fund, BPEA VIII.
To ensure continuity between two fund generations, EQT’s capital raisings usually follow a cycle with successor funds targeted to be in a position to commence investment activities when the predecessor fund is close to being fully invested. This means that the commitment period of the predecessor fund typically ends when approximately 80 to 90 percent of its total commitments are invested, with remaining commitments being available primarily for add-on acquisitions and strategic capital injections as well as for ongoing expenses.
Management fee for BPEA IX may be charged from the initial closing of the Fund (or a later date designated by EQT in its sole discretion). Management fee on BPEA VIII will thereafter be based on net invested capital at the fee rate applicable post the commitment period.
