Partners Group has established a new office in Stockholm, bolstering its commitment to the Nordic region and enhancing its investment activities in the area. The office, led by Carina Spitzkopf, head of Direct Lending DACH & Nordics, will bolster Partners Group's engagement with clients, institutional investors, portfolio companies, and local partners within the Nordics.
Over the years, Partners Group has invested in various sectors, including infrastructure, real estate, and private credit, with notable investments in digital infrastructure, logistics, and technology firms such as atNorth and VSB Group.
Recently, Partners Group concluded a direct infrastructure programme with over $15bn in commitments, reinforcing its position in the Nordic market. This expansion adds to the firm's existing European network, which includes offices in Zug, London, Guernsey, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, and Paris. The global private markets investor manages approximately $186bn in assets worldwide.
Spitzkopf highlighted the Nordic region's growing significance in private markets, pointing to a stable economy, strong innovation, and a large pool of mid-market businesses. While private credit presents a substantial opportunity, Partners Group also anticipates potential for broader investments across the region in the long term, with the local presence expected to bolster their capacity to identify opportunities and support portfolio companies.
Oscar Huggare, regional head of Nordic Client Solutions at Partners Group, emphasized that the Stockholm opening underscores the increasing importance of the Nordics as a source of institutional capital. The new office will enable Partners Group to actively participate in the region's private markets ecosystem by fostering relationships with local institutions, operators, and advisers.
This move grants Partners Group a permanent base to expand investment and capital-raising activity across the Nordic markets, as private markets become an increasingly integral part of regional institutional portfolios.
