As Partners Group announced on Tuesday, the private markets specialist raised 16 billion dollar in new client commitments in the first half of the year.
Revenue growth, however, failed to keep pace. Revenue fell 7 percent to 1.12 billion francs. While recurring management fees rose 6 percent to 905 million francs, performance fees plunged 39 percent to 216 million francs. Their share of total revenue declined from 29 percent to 19 percent.
