Baar-Zug, Switzerland; 18 March 2024

  * The firm is launching the industry's first dedicated, scalable
    multi-sector royalty strategy, targeting a fast-growing addressable
    market of over USD 1 trillion


  * Royalties represent the fifth asset class on Partners Group's private
    markets platform


* Client offerings will include a private markets royalty evergreen fund

Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, has added private
markets royalties(1) as a fifth asset class alongside private equity,
infrastructure, private credit, and real estate. The firm is leveraging its
global platform to build the first dedicated, scalable multi-sector royalty
offering that invests in both well-established royalty sectors, such as
intellectual property assets across the pharmaceuticals and entertainment
industries, as well as emerging high-growth royalty sectors like the energy
transition, sports, and brands.

Partners Group's royalty business is headed by Stephen Otter, who has joined
the firm as a Managing Director based in Zug. Mr. Otter, who has close to 20
years of relevant investment industry experience, will lead an experienced
royalty investment team with an established seed portfolio. The team will be
integrated into the wider Partners Group platform and will benefit from the
firm's existing network, expertise, and portfolio insights.

Juri Jenkner, Partner and President, Partners Group, comments: "We have high
conviction in private markets royalties as an asset class that complements
our existing private markets offerings. Royalties have seen strong growth in
recent years, with greater applicability across the economy, including in
many of our target private equity and infrastructure themes such as
healthcare and the energy transition. The breadth of our global platform,
combined with our deep expertise in relevant sectors, means we are
well-positioned to apply our thematic sourcing approach to identifying the
most attractive royalty investment opportunities for our clients."

Partners Group research estimates the total private markets royalty market
to be worth more than USD 1 trillion today and forecasts further rapid
growth. Private markets royalties can offer attractive risk-adjusted
returns, long-term predictable cash flows, low correlation to broader
markets, and a hedge against inflation. As such, the firm believes royalty
assets can be an effective tool for stabilizing and diversifying traditional
private markets portfolios.

Royalties will be made available to Partners Group's investors through the
firm's range of bespoke solutions, which includes its tailored mandate
solutions for existing and new institutional clients and its structured
private wealth products. The firm plans to offer the strategy in an
evergreen fund structure that could be eligible for investment by private
wealth investors, who currently have limited opportunities to gain exposure
to private markets royalties.

Stephen Otter, Managing Director and Head of Private Markets Royalties,
Partners Group, adds: "In building out our private markets royalty business,
we are differentiating from the industry standard on two key points.
Firstly, by considering a larger set of royalty opportunities across
sectors, we will play to Partners Group's strength of applying a relative
value approach to selecting the most attractive investment opportunities for
our clients. Secondly, by using an evergreen structure instead of a
closed-end fund, our client offerings will be better aligned to the longer
duration of the underlying royalty investments."
