About this investor

EQT's selected investments here span veterinary services, medicines, metering, private schools, water and fibre infrastructure: IVC Evidensia, Dechra, Calisen, Nord Anglia, Yorkshire Water's parent Kelda and Zayo. [1][2][3][4][5][6]

These are selected investments, rather than a complete portfolio or legal parent register. A fund, its investors, an acquisition vehicle and the manager's own corporate ownership can be different relationships. Each card retains the date and individual or collective stake definition. An older fund's exit can accompany reinvestment by a newer EQT fund. Clinic ownership, veterinary medicines and a stake in a utility parent are distinct relationships. [1][2][4][5]

Each card names the entity invested in. Linked companies and brands can sit below that entity. Stakes use the source’s definition and date; disclosures are selected and do not give a complete portfolio or investor register. Read the investor methodology.
