AlpInvest Partners B.V.

AlpInvest Partners B.V. is a Netherlands-based private equity investment manager focused on private-market investing for institutional clients. Its activities include private equity fund investments, secondary investments and co-investments. The firm originally had close links with major Dutch pension-fund institutions and later developed into a broader institutional investment platform. In 2011, The Carlyle Group completed the acquisition of AlpInvest, making it part of Carlyle’s private equity business. AlpInvest has continued to operate under its own brand while using Carlyle’s global network to support its investment activities. This entry limits its description to the firm’s clearly established business profile and ownership relationship and does not add unsupported figures about assets under management, clients or portfolio companies.

AlpInvest Partners was established around 2000 in the context of the Dutch pension-fund investment system and initially managed private-equity-related investments. It later expanded its private-markets activities to include private equity funds, secondary investments and co-investments for a broader institutional client base. In 2011, The Carlyle Group acquired AlpInvest and integrated it into Carlyle’s global investment platform. Following the acquisition, AlpInvest retained its independent brand and private-markets focus while benefiting from Carlyle’s international network. Publicly verifiable information about its founders, historical executives and recent business scale is insufficient for a more detailed account.
