Partners Group

Founded in Zug, Switzerland, in 1996, Partners Group is a global private markets investment manager. It invests across private equity, infrastructure, real estate, private credit, royalties, and special opportunities, serving institutional and private wealth clients through pooled funds and bespoke solutions.

The firm is particularly associated with thematic sourcing: identifying structural growth trends, selecting businesses and assets positioned to benefit, and building value-creation plans around them. Its investment teams work from origination and due diligence through active ownership and exit.

Partners Group also emphasizes operational involvement rather than relying primarily on financial engineering. It uses entrepreneurial governance, portfolio-management capabilities, and operating specialists to help companies and assets scale and develop into market leaders.
