Achmea Investment Management introduces a new investment fund under the name Achmea IM PE Partnership Fund – Healthy People & Planet 2025. The fund provides Dutch pension funds and other institutional investors cost-efficient access to private equity investments that work towards the goal of healthy people in a healthy society. The fund’s central impact themes are climate, biodiversity, healthy nutrition and good health. Companies that make an intentional and measurable positive contribution to these themes and offer attractive risk/return characteristics will be eligible for investment by the fund. Achmea IM has appointed Neuberger Berman Private Markets, an experienced private equity impact investor, as the investment partner for the fund.

The fund has been developed for and in close collaboration with the Dutch institutional market. The target size is € 250 million. It is a closed-end fund with an expected term of ten to twelve years. The fund’s investment strategy is aimed at co-investments, with a focus on the buy-out and growth segments of the private equity market. Several pension funds have already expressed their intention of participating in the first close of the fund and have made capital commitments of € 225 million in total.

Maureen Schlejen, Chair of the Achmea IM Board, says: “There is enormous interest in impact investing among our clients and we’re proud to have set up this impact fund with them. Collaboration is key as far as we’re concerned: it accelerates impact and increases scale. This fund offers pension funds and other institutional investors the opportunity to contribute to the goal of healthy people in a healthy society at a return that is in keeping with market rates.”

The fund is still open to other interested institutional investors. The first investments are expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2025.
