EQT aims to retain and strengthen relationships with existing clients by delivering strong risk-adjusted returns, a continuous and consultative dialogue as well as high-quality services. EQT’s Client Relations and Capital Raising team are responsible for coordinating and driving all fundraising and client service-related activities. The overarching goal for the Client Relations and Capital Raising team is to support all EQT’s business lines and funds by building and maintaining strong client relationships. As EQT expands its business, the Client Relations and Capital Raising team are constantly engaging with new clients to selectively partner with and broaden the client base further. The team is also responsible for arranging EQT’s client events, such as the Annual Investors’ Meeting, New York Investor Day, and Asia Pacific Investor Day.
