Partners Group Results 19-Mar: Private Capital News Often Instructive To Credit Markets

FINANCIALS

Partners Group 4Q23 results due 19-Mar – not directly in our scope but news from private capital industry is always going to be interesting to credit market participants.


  • Partners has no EUR credit outstanding so our interest here is tangential: the business is one of the largest private capital managers globally and our view is that, after the magnitude of rate rises, if there is going to be a stress event, private credit could be good place to start the search.
  • However, recent performance has been strongHY spreads have broadly tightened YTD and equity values of this manager, and several of the peers, have outperformed the SXXP index. Only Blackstone has failed to do over the last 6 months (see graphic).
  • With expectations continuing to be for broad rate cuts (Japan excepted) this year, it could well be a positive backdrop for these managers as cost of capital drops away again. Either way, news on stress points (CRE and Germany and US, for example, where Partners has hired a new head of European real estate) could be interesting, alongside anything to indicate the contrary.

The AuM update on 11-Jan was broadly positive. Results are due 0600 (London time) with conf call at 0800 on: https://event.eu.on24.com/wcc/r/8000061925/8978D784AE08B28F3957BF2BCD83AA5C
