EQT AB (ISIN SE0012853455) was trading at EUR 26.37 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:10 a.m. CEST. The investment group raised its fundraising target for the current cycle from EUR 100 billion to EUR 140 billion on October 15, 2026, according to EQT.

Why the target moved higher

The higher target followed the closing of Coller Capital and stronger demand for new strategies. EQT said fee-generating assets under management reached EUR 195.0 billion in the third quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 139.0 billion in the same period of 2025. Total assets under management reached EUR 354.0 billion, up from EUR 267.0 billion a year earlier, according to EQT.

The company reported EUR 41.6 billion of gross inflows during July through September 2026. Net inflows to key funds reached EUR 10.9 billion, including EUR 10.3 billion related to Coller Capital, while key fund valuations rose 5.00 percent during the quarter and 10.00 percent over the preceding twelve months.

Three milestones in 2026

On August 31, 2026, EQT completed the Coller Capital combination, adding EUR 34.0 billion to fee-generating assets under management. On October 15, 2026, EQT signed the Stockbridge acquisition agreement, covering a U.S. real estate manager with USD 17.0 billion of fee-generating assets under management. The same Q3 announcement reported the EUR 140.0 billion fundraising target and said Stockbridge is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approval.

That chronology gives investors two separate growth drivers: Coller already contributes to the reported asset base, while Stockbridge remains a future expansion opportunity. EQT also said the Scaleup Europe Fund had secured more than EUR 3.0 billion of commitments against a EUR 5.0 billion target as of October 15, 2026.

What comes next for EQT

EQT XI is expected to be activated within the next few months, while Infrastructure VII is expected to activate around year-end and hold an early close in December 2026. The company also said CIP X is being prepared for launch early in 2027.
