Partners Group

Over USD 10 trillion in AuM represented. More than 320 clients from 35 countries. Truly an exceptional event. Earlier this month, we hosted Partners Group's Annual General Meetings 2025 at our new Campus in Zug, Switzerland. For two days, we engaged in thought-provoking discussions and presentations, delving into the future of Private Markets, sharing our strategic vision, and examining geopolitical trends alongside industry leaders and experts. The video below offers a glimpse into the atmosphere that made this AGM really special. Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing snippets from key presentations right here on LinkedIn. Stay tuned!

Our portfolio company Budderfly has been ranked 25th on Fast Company’s annual ranking of the world’s 50 Most Innovative Companies. Budderfly takes over customer utility bills, pays for facilities upgrades, and uses its AI-powered software to monitor energy use. It then bills customers less than what they would have paid a utility and keeps some of the savings. “We literally have training for our salespeople on answering ‘that sounds too good to be true,’ ” Al Subbloie, Budderfly’s CEO, said. Last year, Budderfly expanded its portfolio to more than 7,000 facilities and its annual recurring revenue to more than USD 200 million.

How does a founder-led, mid-sized renewables developer become a pan-European platform? Our latest video tells the business transformation story of VSB Group, a portfolio company that Partners Group exited in a sale to TotalEnergies last December. Since our acquisition of a majority stake in 2020, Partners Group has worked closely with VSB to achieve impressive growth, expanding beyond wind energy into solar, battery storage systems, and e-mobility solutions. Under our ownership, the company more than doubled its project pipeline and increased EBITDA fivefold. Watch David D., our Head of Infrastructure Europe, and Felix Grolman, VSB's CEO, as they share their insights into this story of business transformation.

We are embarking on a new strategic partnership with Lincoln Financial, a Fortune 500 provider of insurance and retirement solutions. This partnership will involve the launch of a new evergreen fund that provides access to our cross-sector royalty strategy for investors in the US. Commenting on the announcement, Nicholas Hegarty, our Co-Head of Client Solutions Americas, said that “our 20-year plus track record in managing bespoke evergreens and deep expertise in royalties, coupled with Lincoln’s market-leading distribution capabilities, provide strong foundations from which to deliver a very impactful private markets solution.” You can read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/eF3kvjUR

We have acquired a 1.9 GW portfolio of critical natural gas-fired power plants in the US, as well as its operator Middle River Power, at an enterprise value of USD 2.2 billion. Middle River has pioneered a strategy whereby it develops on-site battery energy storage systems at the portfolio’s existing gas-fired plants, which reduces their overall carbon footprint while enhancing reliability. This highly thematic investment is set to benefit from the growing penetration of intermittent renewables in the generation mix. We will leverage our deep experience in building power and renewables platforms to execute a value creation plan that will expand this hybridization strategy.

We have agreed to sell our portfolio company Greenlink Interconnector Limited, a 504 MW subsea electricity interconnector linking Great Britain and Ireland. The transaction values Greenlink, which has a nominal capacity that is equivalent to powering around 380,000 homes, at an enterprise value of over EUR 1 billion. Since acquiring Greenlink in 2019, we have driven significant value creation, leading the company through financial close and construction to initial commercial operations, which was reached on time in early 2025. Greenlink is a highly strategic infrastructure asset and the first project financed interconnector to be completed in Europe.

Another record-breaking fundraising year for our evergreen funds – one of the highlights of 2024 Annual Results! At Partners Group, we're focused on building momentum in the private wealth sector. By bringing tailored solutions to meet diverse client needs, we are paving a clear path forward for continued growth and innovation.

Today, we are holding our first Capital Markets Day since our IPO on the SIX Swiss Exchange in 2006. We have come a long way since then. We listed with an initial market capitalization of CHF 1.7 billion. As of 7 March 2025, we had a market capitalization of CHF 35 billion. During the course of today, we will reflect on what we have achieved and share our investment and business development strategy for the next private markets cycle. Looking ahead, we are basing our strategy on three foundational pillars: we will continue to build our transformational investing platform, we will grow our market-leading bespoke mandate and evergreen fund business, and we will seek to add select high-performance investment engines with complementary strengths to parts of our existing platform. Through the execution of our strategy, we expect our AuM growth to outpace the broader private markets industry, increasing to more than USD 450 billion by 2033.
