Partners Group Invests USD 3.2 Billion in Private Equity Secondaries in 2024

Partners Group, a key player in the global private markets, announced a USD 3.2 billion investment in private equity secondaries in 2024. This marks a substantial increase from USD 1.5 billion in 2023. The firm capitalized on market dislocations to complete 25 transactions, involving over 80 general partners and 150 funds.

The firm focused primarily on LP-portfolios, given the limited exit activity over the past two years. Its major transaction included acquiring a portfolio with a EUR 800 million net asset value from a prominent UK pension scheme. This endeavor highlights the firm's thematic investment approach, emphasizing sectors with strong growth potential.

Partners Group's disciplined investment process saw it rejecting 97% of the USD 125 billion in secondary transactions reviewed last year. Looking forward, the firm anticipates robust demand for secondary solutions, driven by dynamic market conditions.
