Asset growth at Partners Group, the Swiss alternatives manager set up by three ex-Goldman Sachs bankers, dipped in the first half of the year to its slowest rate since its flotation in 2006 on the back of foreign exchange movements and fund redemptions.
Assets under management at Partners, which was set up more than a decade ago by executive chairman Alfred Gantner and executive vice-chairmen Marcel Erni and Urs Wietlisbach, had more than doubled from Sfr10.9bn (â¬6.8bn) at the end of 2005 to Sfr24.4bn by the end of last year.
