EQT Group’s Post

Last week, our CEO Per Franzen spoke at FT’s first-ever Private Capital Summit, joining a fireside chat with CVC CEO Rob Lucas on “The evolution of Europe’s private capital giants.” Some of the key takeaways from the event: Europe could be key to global alpha – proven track records and deep local networks create real advantage in a fragmented, complex market. Winning in the next cycle? – only a handful globally diversified firms will capture the next wave of capital. We are working to build for that future. Simplicity at scale – While we have grown significantly in recent years our ethos remains much the same: Simplicity, At Scale. We aim to retain an asset-light business model, focusing on excellence in dealmaking, value-creation and being the best counterparty for clients. Thank you to Alexandra Heal for hosting a fantastic conversation and to the FT Live and Latham & Watkins for inviting us.
