Partners Group Forecasts Robust AuM Growth Amid Redemption Challenges

Partners Group anticipates solid growth in assets under management (AuM) for 2026, despite recent fluctuations due to increased evergreen redemption requests. Maintaining transparency, the company predicts a reduction in net AuM growth by 1-2% in H2 2026, influenced by redemption pressures. Approximately 80% of its current AuM comes from institutional investors, with the remainder from private wealth investors.

The private equity sector has particularly faced volatility, with heightened redemption activities noted in Partners Group Global Value SICAV and a Delaware-based private equity vehicle, where requests surpassed set thresholds. To safeguard long-term investor interests, liquidity limits are in place to manage these redemption flows.

Despite these challenges, CEO David Layton remains optimistic, noting the firm's high-quality portfolio and potential for transformational investment strategies to yield favourable outcomes.
