The EQT Opportunity fund was launched in 2005. The fund invests in medium-sized companies in Northern Europe that have a sound underlying business and a clear value creation potential, but also face challenges that require special expertise to resolve. The committed capital of EQT Opportunity is EUR 372 million.

The EQT Opportunity Fund has been raised in order to use market opportunities for companies in special situations. These can be company restructurings, insolvencies or companies with liquidity problems as well as ownership issues.

The fund focuses on companies in the Nordic region and the German speaking countries and targets control investments in companies with annual sales over EUR 50 million.
