Partners Group heads down-under
Switzerland-based alternative asset manager Partners Group has established an office in Sydney with hopes of expanding its Asian presence.
Partners Group head of Asia Philipp Gysler said the additional local representation further supports the group’s investment activities and growing number of client relationships in the region.
“The new Sydney office with [its] proximity to the market strengthens our investment activities in the region,” he said.
“It is envisaged that this local presence will for instance allow the sourcing of an increased number of attractive secondary and direct opportunities, such as co-investment completed with Ironbridge Capital in Super A-Mart, a leading furniture retailer in Queensland and New South Wales.”
The new office will bring with it a number of new staff, including Martin Scott, who in the past helped build Zurich’s Australian presence, and Mike Siebert, who has worked out of Partners Group’s Singapore office since 2004.
