Partners Group Sets November 30 Launch for Split Fund Units as French Housing Push Takes Shape
Published on 11/09/2026 at 14:21 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Partners Group has mapped out the mechanics of a planned overhaul of its Global Value SICAV, with the two successor sub-funds earmarked to go live on November 30, 2026, provided fund shareholders give the nod. The vote on the split was announced for the week starting November 9.
The restructuring centres on the quarterly net redemption threshold. On October 30, the firm lowered that limit for new share classes from 5% to 2.5% of net asset value, a change that applies expressly to the new classes. Under the proposal, the fund would be divided into a distributing vehicle and an accumulating one, and the Compounding fund is meant to return to the 5% threshold as soon as practicable.
Infrastructure Bench Deepens
Separately, the Swiss-listed group has moved to strengthen its European direct infrastructure team. Philip Butcher and Timm Degenhardt are joining as Managing Directors, with Sarah Johnson taking the role of Senior Lead Asset Manager. Butcher is set to start in London in November 2026, while Degenhardt will begin in Zug in March 2027. Johnson's arrival dates to September 2026, so the appointments span both the leadership tier and day-to-day asset management.

French Rental Bet Targets €300 Million
On the real estate side, Partners Group is pursuing a gross asset value of €300 million through its "French New Living" residential strategy. The aim is to assemble a portfolio of roughly 2,000 rental apartments for young adults within twelve months. Urban Campus is lined up as developer and operator for the properties already secured.
Two forward-purchase agreements have given the firm 560 apartments in the greater Paris area, split between Choisy-le-Roi and Pantin. Those forward commitments cover the pre-agreed acquisition of the units and represent the portion of the target portfolio already locked in; the €300 million gross asset value figure refers to the planned portfolio as a whole rather than the secured housing alone.
