The Danske PEP funds are specialised fund-of-funds and co-investment funds focused on the small- to lower-middle-cap buyout market in private equity across Europe (including the Nordics) and North America.
Our investment approach
We invest in this asset class through a combination of primary and secondary fund investments, as well as co-investments alongside selected fund managers. Our philosophy is based on the belief that the strong relationships established through primary investments are crucial for sourcing and executing outstanding secondary investments and co-investments.
An attractive market segment
Historically, private equity funds in the small- to lower-middle-cap buyout market in Europe and North America have exhibited greater variation in returns compared to large-cap funds. These segments also feature the highest concentration of top-performing funds, offering opportunities for strong returns through meticulous selection of private equity funds in our Danske PEP funds.
Our thorough screening processes, longstanding relationships, and experienced investment team have enabled us to invest in many attractive funds and co-investments that are often difficult for investors to identify and access.
