EQT's television show-style annual investor meeting in June shows the coronavirus crisis has led to novel ways of staying in touch with LPs.

Geopolitical tensions, talk of decoupling and reshuffling supply chains are the private equity giant's biggest concerns, its head of Asia-Pacific tells PEI.

Coinvestments have been a hot topic in private equity as more limited partners seek ways to build direct exposure alongside their trusted GPs in investments.

RMBV, which became independent from Abraaj Group last year, will begin conversations with potential LPs in September, PEI has learned.

The target for Fund X is €1.5bn more than the amount it sought for its 2018-vintage predecessor.

The investment manager is in market with eight funds including a dedicated Asia fund, a 2020 global fund and its third venture vehicle.

The firm had been in early discussions with existing LPs about a smaller Archer Capital Fund 6 and will focus solely on its current portfolio.

PGIM and Singapore's SWF have designed a framework that considers how commitment strategy and private markets allocations can affect a portfolio’s ability to meet liquidity demands.
