Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm with USD 186 billion in assets under management, has opened a new office in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of its increased commitment to the Nordic region. The office will serve as a strategic base to strengthen investment capabilities and deepen proximity to clients, partners, and institutional investors.
The firm has a strong track record in the Nordics, having completed infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments across sectors including digital infrastructure, logistics, and technology. Within infrastructure, Partners Group built and successfully exited businesses with significant exposure to the region, such as atNorth, a pan-Nordic data center platform, and VSB Group, a pan-European renewable energy platform. The firm recently closed its latest direct infrastructure program at over USD 15 billion.
The Stockholm office will be led by Carina Spitzkopf, Head of Direct Lending DACH & Nordics, and will initially host dedicated investment professionals. It builds on Partners Group's large existing European presence, with offices in Zug, Switzerland (global headquarters), Guernsey, London, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, and Paris.
Carina Spitzkopf commented, "The Nordics has become an increasingly important private markets hub in Europe, reflecting a stable regional economy, strong innovative culture, and large universe of mid-market companies. Alongside the significant potential we see in private credit, we also see attractive opportunities to invest more broadly across the region over the mid- to long term. A stronger local presence will enhance our ability to identify investment opportunities and support existing portfolio companies."
Oscar Huggare, Regional Head Nordic Client Solutions, added, "The opening of our Stockholm office comes amidst the growing importance of the Nordic region from a capital formation perspective. As a strategic hub, the new office underscores our ambition to be an even more active participant in the region’s private markets ecosystem by partnering with local institutions and engaging with a growing network of operators and advisors."
The new office is located at Birger Jarlsgatan 41, 114 34 Stockholm, Sweden. For more information, visit www.partnersgroup.com or view the original release on www.newmediawire.com.
This move underscores the growing importance of the Nordic region in global private markets. With its stable economy and innovative culture, the Nordics offer attractive opportunities for institutional investors. Partners Group's expanded presence is expected to boost investment activity in private credit and other asset classes, potentially benefiting local businesses and investors. The office opening also highlights the firm's long-term commitment to the region, which could lead to increased capital formation and economic growth.
