UBS and Partners Group to Give UBS Clients Access to Private Markets Investments

UBS Clients Invest in Private Markets, Private Equity via Partners Group

UBS clients in Switzerland, and select markets across Europe and Asia can gain increased exposure to Partners Group’s private equity buyouts and co-investments in Partners Group assets, pre-selected by UBS.  The initiative will target an annual investment capacity of $1-3 billion for UBS clients over time.

In addition, UBS clients in select markets will also be able to access Partners Group’s latest European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF).  The ELTIF provides exposure to 30-60 private markets investments across the globe in a transparent, regulated structure, with relatively low minimum investments and no capital calls required from investors.
