(Reuters) – Axa Private Equity and LGT Capital Partners have bought a 620 million euro ($901 million) private equity portfolio from HSH Nordbank , the German lender said on Tuesday.
The transaction, whose financial terms were not disclosed, is the latest in a series of purchases of private equity portfolios by Axa, which also bought a $740 million portfolio from Barclays and a $1.7 billion portfolio from Citigroup earlier this year.
The HSH portfolio includes interests in 47 European private equity buyout funds, the lender said.
HSH has been selling off non-strategic assets and restructuring under pressure from the European Union following a bailout of the bank during the financial crisis.
