Partners Group, a global private markets investment firm with USD 186 billion in assets under management, has opened a new office in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of an increased commitment to the Nordic region. The office will serve as a strategic base to strengthen the firm’s investment capabilities and deepen proximity to clients, partners, and institutional investors.
The move underscores the growing importance of the Nordics as a private markets hub in Europe, driven by a stable regional economy, a strong innovative culture, and a large universe of mid-market companies. Partners Group has a long track record in the region, having completed infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments across sectors including digital infrastructure, logistics, and technology. Notable exits include atNorth, a pan-Nordic data center platform, and VSB Group, a pan-European renewable energy platform. 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. It adds to Partners Group’s existing European footprint, which includes offices in Zug, Switzerland (global headquarters), Guernsey, London, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, and Paris.
Carina 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 new office is located at Birger Jarlsgatan 41, 114 34 Stockholm, Sweden. For more information, visit www.partnersgroup.com or follow the firm on LinkedIn. The original release is available on www.newmediawire.com.
