Partners Group Expands Presence in North America with Montreal Office

Partners Group, a major player in the global private markets industry, has expanded its North American presence by opening a new office in Montreal, Canada. This new location aims to strengthen relationships with clients in Quebec, where some of Canada's largest institutional investors are based.

The Montreal office complements the existing Toronto office, which opened in 2019. Partners Group has tailored numerous investment structures and evergreen funds for both institutional and private wealth markets in Canada, offering advantages such as diversified portfolios and liquidity features.

The interest in private markets among Canadian investors is increasing, alongside a generational wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to Millennials. Michael Penner, Chairman for Canada, emphasizes Montreal's significance due to its robust investor base. Michael Meredith, Head of Client Solutions Canada, underscores Quebec's growing importance for the firm's expansion in Canada.

Partners Group now has a significant North American footprint, with offices in multiple cities and substantial investment exposure in the region. As of the end of 2024, North America represented 45% of Partners Group's assets under management.
