  • Partners Group, a Swiss investment firm, is under scrutiny despite its pioneering role in evergreen funds.
  • The company, valued at over 18 billion francs, is a major player in the Swiss stock market.
  • Its public profile remains low, though it is known for owning Breitling watches.

Despite being a prominent player on the stock exchange, the Swiss investment firm Partners Group remains a pioneer in its field. The company, headquartered in Zug, is a heavyweight on the Swiss stock market, boasting a valuation exceeding 18 billion francs. Partners Group was among the global pioneers of evergreen funds, a type of open-ended investment fund that now holds a significant position in the financial industry. The firm established these funds 25 years ago. However, the company remains largely unknown to the general public, particularly in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It is primarily recognized there for its ownership of Breitling watches, which constitutes only one of its many holdings. The firm's recent public attention is partly linked to its co-founder Alfred Gantner's meeting with Donald Trump in December 2025, drawing a spotlight onto the company's operations and market position.
