Title: Associate Team: Portfolio Monitoring Location: Hong Kong About EQT Private Capital Asia EQT Private Capital Asia is one of the largest local Asian private capital platforms, representing the best of a local and global firm, and has been transforming companies through its pan-Asian investment platform for over 29 years. Following BPEA’s combination with EQT, the Asian private equity teams joined forces and formed EQT Private Capital Asia, a pan-regional team with ~350 local employees and 100 investment professionals based in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul and Sydney. EQT Private Capital Asia invests from two complementary fund strategies, both of which seek control and co-control equity investments from small to large-cap buyouts, with equity cheques ranging between US$50M to US$1BN. Over the past 29 years, EQT Private Capital Asia has distributed around US$39bn to clients since inception across 150+ investments and generated top quartile returns across its two most recent private equity funds, and today, the current portfolio employs more than 410,000 people. With a sector-based approach and value creation centered around active ownership and transformation, the team is uniquely positioned to identify and source compelling investment opportunities across the entire region. EQT’s “local-with-locals” presence, combined with the platform’s global scale, resource and capabilities, creates a true-pan Asian footprint covering every major Asia investment destination, also enables cross-border investments in companies operating across a number of Asian geographies or, alternatively, headquartered outside Asia but for which the region represents a meaningful driver of growth.
