EQT AB reported strong first-quarter results for 2025, demonstrating growth in fundraising, exits, and investments despite ongoing economic uncertainty. The company has received over $10 billion for its new Asia fund, positioning itself favorably in a challenging market environment. However, EQT's CEO noted in a report that the company expects a significant decline in exit activity moving forward. While the portfolio has limited direct tariff exposure, EQT anticipates that tariffs may influence its exit plans. The firm currently holds more than €50 billion in 'dry powder,' allowing it to navigate the uncertain landscape effectively.
