PGIM and Partners Group enter strategic partnership to deliver multi-asset solutions

The partnership combines PGIM’s deep expertise across public and private asset classes — including its USD 1 trillion credit platform that spans public fixed income and private credit, and its position as one of the world’s largest real estate investment managers — with Partners Group’s track record in private equity and infrastructure investment, as well as their leadership in creating bespoke private markets portfolio solutions.  

"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,^[2] 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."

The collaboration was established in response to growing client interest in alternative investments and rising demand for comprehensive investment strategies from trusted partners that offer experience, scale, efficiency, and innovation. It is designed to meet the complex needs of both individual and institutional investors, who are seeking turnkey, diversified exposure across public and private markets either as a stand-alone option or integrated within a defined contribution plan or insurance portfolio.  

"Partners Group has been delivering bespoke private markets solutions since its inception," said David Layton, CEO at Partners Group. "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."

PGIM and Partners Group will collaborate to develop a suite of investment solutions designed to deliver broad diversification across multiple public and private markets asset classes to enhance portfolio outcomes. The solutions will be built with flexibility at their core, capable of functioning as stand-alone investments or being seamlessly integrated into defined contribution plans, insurance portfolios, and other investment structures. This adaptability will enable accessibility and relevance across a wide spectrum of investor segments, from individual clients to large institutions.
