Summary
Partners Group has launched a global multi-sector private credit income strategy aimed at returns in the high single-digit to low double-digit range. The product is structured as an open-ended evergreen fund and will be available to institutional and private wealth investors worldwide. Partners Group framed the launch as a response to growing investor demand for diversified income-generating investments.
The strategy seeks to generate returns primarily through income from a diversified portfolio spanning senior direct lending, credit secondaries, fund financing, royalties, opportunistic credit and liquid credit. Exposure is targeted across developed markets in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The multi-sector design is intended to give the fund flexibility as market conditions shift. The article gives an example: weaker mergers and acquisitions activity could reduce direct lending opportunities while increasing demand for credit secondaries and net asset value financing, as general partners and limited partners seek liquidity. The fund can reallocate across these strategies as opportunities emerge.
Partners Group said the launch reflects increasing investor interest, particularly in Asia, in strategies offering attractive yields and relatively stable income streams amid market volatility. Andrew Bellis, global head of private credit at Partners Group, said combining complementary credit strategies across different sectors and regions could help generate enhanced returns by exploiting variations in market structures and lending conditions.
The launch sits within Partners Group's broader private credit business, which was founded in 2003 and manages $40 billion in assets globally. That platform spans senior and junior direct lending, private credit secondaries, fund finance, broadly syndicated loans and collateralised loan obligations. The firm offers private credit exposure through traditional closed-end funds, evergreen vehicles and bespoke mandates.
