Partners Group Exceeds USD 15 Billion in Fifth Direct Private Equity Program

Partners Group, a leading firm in the global private markets industry, announced that it has exceeded its target of USD 15 billion in client commitments for its fifth direct private equity program. The commitments come from a mix of new and existing clients, including public and corporate pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, and private investors.

The program benefits from the firm’s extensive middle market private equity team, comprising around 200 investment professionals across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. This team employs a thematic sourcing strategy to identify companies with transformational potential in sectors like Technology, Health & Life, Goods & Products, and Services.

Wolf Scheider, Partner and Head of Private Equity, expressed gratitude for client trust in their transformational investing approach. Notable investments include Breitling, SureWerx, and ROSEN Group. Kim Nguyen, Head of Private Equity Services Vertical, emphasized their deep research and the operational expertise provided to portfolio companies.

Partners Group has a history of strong performance, with its first, second, and third direct private equity funds in the top quartile for historical performance. The fourth fund is still in early value creation mode. The firm’s partners and employees have also contributed significantly, underlining their confidence in the investment program.
