Partners Group raises $1b for Asia Pacific, emerging markets
Partners Group has raised $1 billion for its 2011 vintage Asia Pacific and emerging markets private equity programs. In addition to Asia Pacific, the programs target investments in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa.
"We are honored by the trust our clients place in us and remain excited about the investment opportunities we are seeing in emerging markets around the globe," said Andreas Baumann, partner and co-head of Partners Group in Singapore. "The growing number of middle class households and the changing demographics continue to benefit sectors such as healthcare, education, financial services, as well as consumer goods and services in general."
Partners Group has more than EUR27 billion ($35.6 billion) under management across private equity, real estate, infrastructure and debt. Earlier this month the firm closed its latest secondary fund at the hard cap of EUR2 billion.
