UK financial services group has introduced a European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF) structure to its Nexus evergreen product suite – providing a new way to access private markets to more non-professional individual investors across the European Union and European Economic Area.

EQT Nexus ELTIF Private Equity aims to provide exposure to a globally diversified portfolio of EQT’s "well-established" private capital strategies investing across healthcare, technology, and services. The fund marks an important step in EQT’s European Private Wealth strategy, enabling strategic distribution partnerships in key growth markets, the firm said in a statement.

The fund can give individual investors exposure to a similar portfolio as institutions, focused on EQT’s Private Capital strategies spanning early-stage investments, growth and large-scale buyouts, investing in healthcare, technology, and services across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

The ELTIF regulatory framework expands access to private markets for the non-professional investor category, increasing coverage to more countries within the EU and EEA, and at a lower minimum investment threshold than traditional private asset structures.

Like EQT’s broader platform of evergreen products, the fund will be made available via third-party distributors, including private banks and wealth platforms, with third party subscriptions starting in November 2025.

“The launch of EQT Nexus ELTIF Private Equity is an exciting evolution of EQT’s European Private Wealth offering, paving the way for new strategic distribution partnerships and client segments that are meaningfully under-allocated to private markets,” Peter Beske Nielsen, global head of private wealth and evergreen solutions at EQT, said. “Today, many individual investors’ portfolios are concentrated in shares, bonds, and mutual funds with publicly listed companies – even though public markets only account for a fraction of the total investable economy. The ELTIF expands access to private markets for non-professional investors across the EU and EEA, enabling broader diversification beyond traditional public holdings.”

With the launch of EQT Nexus ELTIF Private Equity, EQT’s evergreen platform now includes five evergreen solutions: they include private equity, infrastructure and real estate strategies and solutions available to eligible individual investors and institutions in a number of jurisdictions in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
