EQT fee-generating AUM reaches €195bn as Coller adds €34bn

EQT's fee-generating assets under management reached €195bn at the end of September, up from €139bn a year earlier, including a €34bn contribution from Coller Capital, which EQT acquired on Aug. 31.

Net inflows into EQT's key funds were €10.9bn in the quarter, of which €10.3bn related to the inclusion of Coller. Its other strategies drew €24.4bn net, including €19bn attributable to the acquisition, and the evergreen funds took in €900m. Coller, rebranded Coller EQT, extends the firm's reach in private-markets secondaries, Alternative Credit Investor reported.

Fundraising has begun for Coller Credit Opportunities III, giving credit allocators a new Coller vehicle to diligence. EQT is also preparing to launch its tenth Coller International Partners fund, CIP X, in early 2027, according to Alternative Credit Investor.

Total AUM rose to €354bn from €267bn, and gross inflows in the third quarter of 2026 were €41.6bn. Chief executive Per Franzén said: "Across strategies we see good deal flow and value creation, and we remain focused on driving monetisations and liquidity."

On the reported figures, fee-generating assets were about 55% of total AUM at the end of September, against 52% a year earlier. The coverage does not give CCO III's target size, strategy or fee terms, the items a fund selector would normally test first.
