AlpInvest stays at investment peak while rivals struggle

Amid turmoil in the European private equity market – investors defaulting on commitments, banks reining in their lending for deals and general partners struggling to keep portfolio companies above water – some things remain constant. Netherlands-based AlpInvest Partners remains Europe’s largest investor in private equity funds.

It is a co-investor in 74 deals, as well as purchasing secondaries assets on behalf of its owners - two Dutch pension funds that use the manager to invest in the asset class and have just agreed to continue this position. In a market where capital for funds is scarce, that alone makes AlpInvest an influential participant in the European market.
