Message from the CEO 
Focus on value creation and realizations 
Throughout the third quarter, we continued to execute on a strong pipeline of thematic investment 
opportunities, drive value creation across the portfolio and systematically pursue realizations. We 
are taking advantage of improving capital markets to increase exit activity, but risks remain 
elevated due to an uncertain geopolitical outlook. 
Record investment activity 
Long-term secular trends such as digitalization , health and 
wellbeing , energy transition, demographics , and changing 
value chains require substantial investments over decades to 
come . This presents an opportunity for experienced owners 
with an ability to transform companies and sectors . 
Year-to-date, EQT has had one of its most acti ve years ever , 
investing EUR 18 billion , while providing co-investment 
opportunities totaling EUR 5 billion for our clients . Our deal 
pipeline continues to be strong. 
The following examples illustrate our investment momentum : 
in India, the BPEA Mid-Market Growth fund agreed to 
acquire lndostar Home Finance, an affordable housing 
finance company that has supported nearly 40,000 low 
income homeowners and small businesses ; 
in Europe , EQT X and EQT Future announced the acquisition 
of AMCS, a performance and sustainability software 
provider for resource-intensi ve industries while EQT 
Infrastructure VI entered exclusive negotiations to acquire a 
global satellite ground station business, identifying an 
attractive digital infrastructure vertical; 
in the US, EQRT, our evergreen strategy focused on direct 
investments in commercial real estate , announced two 
industrial property acquisitions . 
A comprehensive approach to value creation 
Every fund generation experiences macroeconomic cycles , 
changing rate environments , and geopolitical events . As 
owners , we maintain a focus on what's within our control; to 
pursue a strategic agenda to transform our portfolio into 
stronger, more resilient and , over time, more valuable 
companies and assets. 
Our companies and assets have proactively navigated the 
volatile macroeconomic environment in recent years. Revenue 
and EBITDA continues to develop well across the portfolio, and 
in those cases where companies have not performed 
according to plan, we address challenges head-on. All of 
EQT's key funds are developing On- or Abo ve plan. 
Systematic approach to realizations 
EQT has a relati vely young portfolio, with only 15 percent of 
investments held for five years or more . The EQT funds dro ve 
record exit volumes in 2020 and 2021. Having a proven track 
record of distributions and a thematically invested portfolio 
without legacy assets is valued by our clients, and is a 
competiti ve advantage for EQT. 
Our exit and liquidity committee continues to drive a systematic 
approach to exits, striking a balance between continued 
ownership and realizations . EQT funds pursued a variety of exit 
avenues in the third quarter , including equity sell-downs in 
listed companies , realizations in mature vintages , and minority 
stake sales.

Message from the CEO 
Examples include : 
broadening the investor base in global data center pro vider 
EdgeConneX. Since 2020, the company has more than 
tripled its built data center capacity and expanded its reach 
into Asia, Latin America and new European markets ; 
equity sell-downs in listed dermatology player Galderma, 
which successfully debuted on the SIX Swiss Exchange in 
March ; and Beijer Ref, a world-leading wholesaler of 
cooling technology and air conditioning listed on Nasdaq 
Stockholm ; and 
the sale of Fiberklaar which became the leading 
independent fiber-to-the-home pro vider in the Flemish 
region of Belgium during EQT's ownership . 
We have a strong pipeline of near-term realizations with 
several companies in ad vanced exit preparations . The buyer 
universe, including the IPO market, is still in reco very mode, 
and volumes remain dependent on market conditions and 
buyer confidence . 
Constantly evolving our client offering 
Despite continued headwinds in the fundraising market, we 
made strong progress in the third quarter, launching and 
preparing for new funds and expanding our pri vate wealth 
distribution channels . 
In August , we set the target size for BPEA IX, our flagship 
large-cap strategy in Asia at USD 12.5 billion , an increase of 
almost 20 percent on its predecessor's fee-generating 
commitments, reflecting our excitement about the investment 
universe in the Asia Pacific region . 
Our flagship value-add infrastructure fund, EQT Infrastructure 
VI, maintained fundraising momentum and is expected to 
reach its EUR 20 billion target size. We recently held a final 
close on the EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund with fee­
generating commitments totaling USD 3.2 billion , amidst a 
tough fundraising market for the asset class. 
We also continued work to expand our offering across 
strategies and geographies for the private wealth segment , 
and expect to have five acti ve offerings , including three US 
dedicated products, and two for EMEA and Asia within 6-12 
months. To support our long-term ambition in this space, we 
continue to build the team who will dri ve this growth, engage 
with distributors, educate a broader audience about the 
pri vate markets investing opportunity, and we are working 
acti vely to strengthen and position our brand . 
Looking ahead 
As we enter the final quarter of the year, we maintain a strong 
focus on realizations and our investment pipeline . We continue 
to progress fundraisings, as we aim to close Infrastructure VI in 
the first quarter of the new year, and acti vate BPEA IX in the 
first half of 2025. Looking further ahead, we are gearing up for 
a busy fundraising pipeline, where we expect to launch 
fundraisings of about EUR 100 billion over the next fundraising 
cycle . 
The long-term trend is clear . Private markets are set for 
growth, and the larger managers with a proven track record 
and a repeatable approach to value creation are taking share . 
We are continuously looking for ways to strengthen our 
platform organically or through acquisitions, be it by 
strengthening our existing capabilities or adding new ones, for 
example in areas such as liquidity solutions . 
We also look forward to a number of events in the fourth 
quarter . We are pleased to be hosting our first US capital 
markets event in New York and , building on our work in the 
climate space , we are joining the upcoming UN Climate 
Change Conference, COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan .
