About ATP

ATP is Denmark's largest pension fund and one of Europe's most senior institutional limited partners with DKK 694 billion of total group assets under management as of December 2024 (approximately €93 billion), headquartered in Hillerød. The ATP Private Equity Partners arm (ATP-PEP) is based in Copenhagen and manages more than €11 billion of private equity assets. ATP Group was founded in 1964 by Danish Parliament as a statutory state-backed pension fund, with ATP-PEP spun out as an independent PE fund-of-funds manager in 2001.

Investment thesis

ATP Group operates an 80/20 hedging versus return-seeking portfolio at group level, with ATP-PEP performing primary fund commitments, secondaries and co-investments globally alongside leading buyout and growth GPs. The platform deploys capital through nine flagship ATP-PEP vintages (ATP PEP I through IX, with IX and IX B established 2025) plus a direct co-investment programme. Sector deployment is diversified across technology, healthcare, industrials, consumer, financials and business services, with geographic overweight across North America and Europe. ATP-PEP's 24-year track record and dual hedging-and-return mandate make it a price-setter in Nordic secondaries.
