Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, has opened a new office in Stockholm, Sweden, marking a significant expansion of its commitment to the Nordic region. The office will serve as a strategic hub for the firm to enhance its investment capabilities and deepen relationships with clients, partners, and institutional investors. With USD 186 billion in assets under management globally, this move underscores the Nordics' growing importance in the private markets landscape.
The Nordics have become an increasingly vital private markets hub in Europe, characterized by a stable regional economy, a strong innovative culture, and a large universe of mid-market companies. Partners Group has a proven track record in the region, having completed infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments across sectors such as digital infrastructure, logistics, and technology. Notable successes include atNorth, a pan-Nordic data center platform, and VSB Group, a pan-European renewable energy platform, both built and successfully exited by the firm. The recent closure of its latest direct infrastructure program at over USD 15 billion further demonstrates its capacity to deploy significant capital in the region.
The Stockholm office will be led by Carina Spitzkopf, Head of Direct Lending DACH & Nordics, and will initially host dedicated investment professionals. 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 expansion builds on Partners Group's extensive European presence, which includes offices in Zug, Switzerland (global headquarters), Guernsey, London, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, and Paris. The firm's differentiated culture and operationally oriented approach have enabled it to identify attractive investment themes and transform businesses into market leaders.
