Private Equity - Primaries

In primary investments, underlying portfolio companies are usually unknown at the time of commitment and investors typically have very little or no ability to influence the investments that are made during the life of the partnership. Accordingly, an accurate assessment of the manager’s capabilities is essential for investment success.

Even though Partners Group has one of the largest teams in the industry, the company provides investors with the ability to enhance diversification and portfolio efficiency by providing access to attractive investments throughout different markets, stages and instruments around the world by leveraging its global network of high quality investment partners.

The relative value assessment for different regions and financing stages is considered key for selecting the best private equity segments. Drawing on Partners Group’s large global team, the firm seeks to identify and invest with high-quality partners such as Hony Capital in China, Silver Lake Partners and Ares in the US, Advent International and Graphite in Europe or Southern Cross Venture Partners and DLJSA Partners in Latin America. The firm has developed close relationships with top private markets managers around the globe, sits on over 230 advisory board committees and interacts regularly with influential general and limited partners globally.
