Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, 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 the firm's investment capabilities and deepen its proximity to clients, partners, and institutional investors. This move underscores the growing importance of the Nordics in the private markets landscape and positions Partners Group to capitalize on regional opportunities.
The Nordics have become an increasingly important private markets hub in Europe, reflecting a stable regional economy, strong innovative culture, and a large universe of mid-market companies. Partners Group has a strong track record in the region, having completed infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments across multiple sectors, including 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 of which were built and successfully exited. 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. 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 office builds on Partners Group's extensive European presence, which includes offices in Zug, Switzerland (global headquarters), Guernsey, London, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, and Paris. Globally, the firm has USD 186 billion in assets under management and around 2,000 professionals. The firm's investment programs and custom mandates span private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, royalties, and special opportunities.
