EQT expands semi-liquid product line-up

Diversified global investment firm EQT Group has announced the launch of its first semi-liquid infrastructure strategy as part of its growing Nexus product suite.

The newly released EQT Nexus Infrastructure strategy promises investors exposure to a diversity of high-quality infrastructure businesses, covering essential services within the digital, energy and environmental, transport and logistics, and social infrastructure sectors.

According to EQT, these investments “range from transition-related scale-up companies to mature, market-leading infrastructure businesses”.

Nexus, EQT’s semi-liquid alternatives strategy suite first launched in 2023, presents a number of unique features for investors, notably offering a flexible, open-ended (not time-defined) investment structure, avoiding the “high minimum investment period and lengthy lock-ups applicable to close-ended funds”.

EQT Partner Peter Beske Nielsen said expansion of the firm’s semi-liquid strategy offering, under the Nexus brand, remains a key focus for the firm.

He notes two trends emerging in this space, which Nexus seeks to address.

“For one, individual investors want the flexibility to customise their portfolios, which EQT Nexus Infrastructure does by enabling access to our infrastructure strategies through a single fully funded investment and a single layer of fees.

“We also believe that institutional investors increasingly desire these benefits, as part of the diversification of their portfolios.”

The EQT Nexus Infrastructure advisory team will be led by William Vettorato, EQT’s advisory head of fund strategy.

EQT is among the world leaders in infrastructure investment, with a current offering of three dedicated strategies: Value-Add, Active Core, and Transition Infrastructure.
