Expert Comment – Denmark largest Pension Fund ATP Chief Investment Officer Mikkel Svenstrup on Private Equity: “This is the start of, potentially, I’m saying potentially, a pyramid scheme.

These are the concerns I’ve been sharing.” Mikkel Svenstrup: “In 2021, more than 80 per cent of the sales of portfolio companies by the private equity funds that ATP has invested in were either to another buyout group or were “continuation fund” deals.” ATP was founded in 1964 to ensure Danish pensioners would have a supplement to their state pension. Today, ATP is one of Europe’s largest pension funds with 5.4 million members and pension assets exceeding DKK 947 billion ($125 billion).
