Luxembourg, LU, 04 November 2024 — Nordea Asset Management (NAM) has successfully closed NPE Co-Investment Fund I (Nordea Private Equity) after securing EUR160.5 million in committed capital.1
The Fund harnesses NAM’s extensive global investor network, having secured commitments from a wide range of stakeholders, including institutional investors, banks and private wealth entities. Building on over 15 years of experience in private equity investments, the Fund capitalizes on the enduring relationships fostered by NAM’s private equity team across its Nordic offices.

Moreover, the integration of GP-led secondaries enables the Fund to implement an investment strategy focused on supporting leading, cash-generative companies in attractive sectors, thereby creating value for our investors and stakeholders2. As an Article 8 fund under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)3, it exemplifies NAM’s robust commitment to responsible investment practices.
“I think it is no secret, that raising money for a first time fund in a tough fundraising market in general, is not an easy exercise. But despite this, we have experienced strong interest in our first PE Co-Investment Vintage Fund, which makes me very proud. Our ability to secure a broad and high-quality investor base is a testament to our Private Equity team, our differentiated investment strategy, and our long-standing relationships in the private equity space.”

Anders Madsen, Managing Director, Head of Institutional & Wholesale Distribution Northern Europe at Nordea Asset Management

“We are grateful to our clients for their trust in NAM, who have recognised our track record of delivering strong and consistent returns within Private Equity,1 and we look forward to strengthening our partnership”

Christian Vinther Ankerstjerne, Head of Investments, Private Markets at Nordea Asset Management.
