Partners Group Raises $26B in 2025 Fundraising, Realisations Surge 54%
Partners Group Holding AG raised a record $26 billion in fundraising during 2025, outperforming peer firms. Direct equity realisations climbed 54% year-over-year at premiums to asset values, underpinning a projected 25–40% of revenue from performance fees and enhanced capital redeployment.
1. Record Fundraising Bolsters Asset Base
Partners Group Holding AG reported a landmark $26 billion in new commitments for 2025, outpacing peers and underscoring robust investor demand. This haul, the highest in the firm’s history, represents a 15 percent increase over 2024 inflows and positions the firm to capitalize on recovery in private markets. The inflows were diversified across private equity (45 percent), private debt (30 percent), and real assets (25 percent), reflecting balanced investor appetites. Such scale enhances Partners Group’s fee-earning capacity and provides substantial dry powder to deploy into attractive opportunities globally.
2. Strong Realisations Drive Performance Fee Upside
Realisation activity surged in late 2025, with direct equity exits climbing 54 percent year-over-year and consistently achieved at premiums to March 2025 asset valuations. These exits, concentrated in pre-2022 vintages, underpin the firm’s confidence that performance fees will rebound to 25–40 percent of total revenues in 2026. In the first quarter, realised gains contributed over 60 percent of total distributable gains, up from 38 percent a year earlier. Management highlighted that accelerating deal flow and disciplined exit pricing are critical to sustaining this momentum and improving overall capital redeployment efficiency.
