PGIM and Partners Group have entered into a strategic partnership to build and deliver a suite of multi-asset portfolio solutions, targeting both institutional and individual investors.
The partnership brings together PGIM’s scale in public and private markets – including its $1trn credit platform and position as one of the world’s largest real estate investment managers – with Partners Group’s track record in private equity and infrastructure, as well as its expertise in bespoke private markets portfolios, the firms announced.
“PGIM has a robust history of investing across market cycles and has built global scale across public and private markets,” said Stuart Parker, head of global wealth at PGIM.
“Given our unique position as an insurance-backed asset manager and one of the top global asset managers for defined contribution plans, we are well suited to provide solutions that are differentiated and scalable across various client segments. Our partnership with Partners Group deepens our firm’s ability to provide clients with market-leading, innovative, and comprehensive multi-asset investment solutions that meet their evolving needs,” he added.
The collaboration responds to increasing client demand for alternatives and comprehensive investment strategies that combine scale, efficiency, and innovation.
It is designed to cater to investors seeking turnkey diversified exposure across public and private markets, whether as stand-alone allocations or as part of defined contribution and insurance portfolios.
David Layton, chief executive officer at Partners Group, said: “Partners Group has been delivering bespoke private markets solutions since its inception. Today, we combine our transformational investing approach with the ability to tailor flexible portfolio solutions to meet a broad range of investor requirements.
“This partnership with PGIM stands testament to that and is another important step in broadening access to private markets for a range of end clients.”
According to the firms, the new suite of strategies will be built with flexibility at their core, enabling adoption across a wide spectrum of investor segments from individual clients to large institutions.
