About this fund
Partners Group Direct Equity ELTIF S.C.A., SICAV-SIF - (subfund) Partners Group Direct Equity 2016 (EUR) ELTIF is a closed-end ELTIF managed by Partners Group, domiciled in Luxembourg and authorised under the SIF regime. It is structured as a SICAV sub-fund of an umbrella vehicle and was launched in 2017, with EUR as its base currency. The vehicle predates the recast regime and remains an ELTIF 1.0 product, which shapes how it is marketed and who may access it: it is open to both professional and retail investors on a pan-European distribution basis, subject to the suitability and eligibility conditions attached to that earlier framework.
The strategy is private equity, specifically buyout, pursued through direct equity investments in companies alongside the manager's broader programme. Because the fund is closed-end, capital is committed for the life of the vehicle rather than dealt periodically; there is no ongoing redemption mechanism, and investors should expect the holding period to run to the end of the fund's term with distributions arising from realisations. Its summary risk indicator is reported as 6, consistent with an illiquid, equity-oriented private markets exposure. Reported assets stand at , with the recent direction of that figure shown as .
Within the dataset of 494 vehicles as of 31 Aug 2026, the fund sits among 163 private equity funds and 347 Luxembourg-domiciled funds, and is one of 117 vehicles combining both characteristics. That overlap places it in the most populated segment of the universe covered here, where comparison across managers is based on vintage, structure and the terms governing capital lock-up rather than on dealing frequency.
