Partners Group Holding AG

Partners Group, based near Zug, is one of the world's leading private-markets investment managers, running private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real-estate portfolios for institutions and, increasingly, wealthy individuals. Long-term, locked-up funds produce steady, recurring management-fee income plus performance fees. Partners Group has grown its dividend strongly for years, funded by expanding fee income, and distributes a large share of profits. A generous, rising yield from a leading private-markets manager gives it a strong dividend profile, with fees tied to fundraising and asset growth.
