Buyouts: 'Off-Duty with Rob Collins'

Rob Collins, our Co-Head of Private Wealth, spoke with Buyouts for its “Off-duty” column about his career and life outside of work. When asked for a most rewarding moment, Rob tells the story about how, after he joined Partners Group, his father asked how to invest in private equity. As a retired New York City social worker, Rob’s father had savings to invest but lacked a vehicle through which to do so. This inspired Rob to help create the industry’s first purpose-built private equity fund for the US private wealth market in 2009, with Rob’s father writing the fund’s first USD 50,000 check. You can learn more about Rob, including his favorite food and least favorite buzz word, in this interview.
