- Goldman Sachs cut Partners Group to Sell from Neutral and reduced its price target.
- The bank expects limited fee-related earnings growth as evergreen products face weaker growth and higher execution demands.
- Partners Group is exploring a continuation vehicle for private-credit loans while its fund restructuring remains in focus.
Goldman Sachs downgraded Partners Group Holding AG to Sell from Neutral and cut its price target to CHF 610 from CHF 770, according to a Investing.com report published Thursday, November 12, 2026. The bank cited weaker growth expectations in Partners Group's evergreen business and lower performance fees as part of an earnings reset.
Evergreen growth faces a tougher test
Goldman Sachs said the unwinding of the evergreen growth narrative had largely taken place during 2026. The bank pointed to rising competition, weaker performance across mature evergreen products and accelerating redemptions, alongside withdrawal limits across three core products.
The bank also expects greater execution demands across the wider platform. Its forecasts imply limited fee-related earnings growth over 2025 to 2028, while consensus expectations for stronger group gross inflows next year appear increasingly demanding.
Portfolio changes remain in focus
Partners Group's proposed split of the EUR 6.6 billion Global Value SICAV remains a central issue for investors. The planned structure would separate older investments in a distributing portfolio from newer assets in a compounding portfolio, subject to shareholder approval.
The Investing.com report also said Partners Group is exploring a potential transaction to move approximately EUR 800 million of private-credit loans into a continuation vehicle. Investors in the original funds would have the option to retain exposure through the new vehicle or exit.
