<p><span><span><span><org>Partners Group</org>, one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, today provides an extraordinary interim business update on its fundraising and investment activities for the first quarter of 2026.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><person>David Layton</person>, Chief Executive Officer, <org>Partners Group</org>, states: <em>"During periods of market dislocation, <org>Partners Group</org> has a precedent of providing disclosures beyond the regular reporting cycle, such as in the early phase of the COVID-19 crisis. We have therefore decided to provide this interim update to the market to offer transparency around our activities. We are confident that <org>Partners Group</org> is well-positioned to successfully navigate the current complex environment on behalf of the firm's clients and shareholders."</em></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>In the first quarter of 2026, <org>Partners Group</org> continued to see positive fundraising momentum. New client demand totaled <money>USD 8.3 billion</money> across all private markets asset classes and client strategies. <money>USD 5.0 billion</money> of new commitments came from bespoke solutions, while traditional programs contributed <money>USD 3.3 billion</money>. Institutional investors</span></span><span><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></span><span><span>, which represent over 80% of <org>Partners Group's</org> client base, drove more than 80% of inflows across mandates, evergreens, and traditional programs. Private wealth investors, representing less than 20% of the client base, also supported the growth of evergreen strategies, which overall saw <money>USD 2.5 billion</money> in new client commitments and <money>USD 0.8 billion</money> in net inflows.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><strong>Breakdown of new client demand as of Q1 2026 </strong>(in USD billion)</span></span></span></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p> </p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span><strong>Q1 2026</strong></span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span><strong>FY 2025</strong></span></span></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>Mandates</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>2.5</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>9.4</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>Evergreens</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>2.5</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>9.4</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>Traditional programs</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>3.3</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>7.5</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr><tr><td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span><strong>Total</strong></span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>8.3</span></span></span></p> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> <p><span><span><span>26.2</span></span></span></p> </td> </tr></tbody></table><p> </p> <p><span><span><span><org>Partners Group</org> returned <money>USD 5.7 billion</money> in liquidity to its clients, primarily through realizations across private equity and infrastructure investments. On the deployment side, after a strong investment year in 2025, the firm maintained a disciplined approach in the first quarter, investing <money>USD 2.8 billion</money> across its client portfolios while delaying certain opportunities given elevated market volatility.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><em><strong>Outlook</strong></em></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>For the full year 2026, <org>Partners Group</org> reconfirms expected gross new client demand of between <money>USD 26</money> to 32 billion despite the complex environment. The firm bases its guidance on the large and visible pipeline of fundraising opportunities across its three principal offerings: mandates, evergreens, and traditional closed-ended private markets programs. Full-year estimates for tail-down effects from more mature closed-ended investment programs are also reconfirmed at <money>USD -10</money> to -13 billion, mainly due to the tail-downs of certain funds shifting from late 2025 to early 2026.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> </div> <div id="_ftn1"> <p><span><span><span><sup>[1]</sup> Institutional investors include corporates, endowments and foundations, corporate and public pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, banks and institutionalized family offices.</span></span></span></p> </div> <div id="_ftn2"> <p><span><span><span><sup>[2]</sup> Assets under management as of <chron>31 December 2025</chron>.</span></span></span></p> </div> </div><div markup="footer"><p><span><span><span><span><strong>About <org>Partners Group</org></strong></span><br/> <org>Partners Group</org> is one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, with around 2'000 professionals and <money>USD 185 billion</money> in assets under management.</span><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></span><span><span> The firm has investment programs and custom mandates spanning private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, and royalties.
