In a financial world often dominated by American and Asian giants, a Finnish asset manager, eQ Asset Management, has emerged as an unlikely but formidable player. With the recent completion of their fifth North American lower middle market-focused private equity fund, the firm has now amassed an impressive $1 billion in funds since 2015. This latest fund, eQ PE XV US, celebrated its final closure on November 30, setting the stage for a new chapter in eQ’s remarkable journey.
Strategic Alliances and Investment Mastery
Under the skilled stewardship of eQ, the eQ PE XV US fund will channel its resources into private equity funds dedicated to nurturing private lower-middle market companies across the U.S. and Canada. This strategic decision is a testament to eQ’s vision and acumen in navigating the complex landscape of international finance. The role of RCP Advisors, as the investment advisor for this and four other U.S. private equity funds, highlights a collaboration that has flourished for nearly a decade.
