The final size of the fund will depend on the outcome of the fundraising process and could be higher or lower than the target, the company said in a statement.

A hard cap, or maximum size, for the fund will be set at a later date.

EQT said the investment strategy for EQT XI is expected to be materially in line with the predecessor fund.

The company noted that its capital raisings typically follow a cycle where a successor fund can begin investing when the prior fund is approximately 80% to 90% invested.

Management fees for the new fund will begin upon its first investment or when the commitment period for EQT X concludes, at which point fees for EQT X will be based on net invested capital, according to the company.
