Partners Group Singapore-Based Executive Wagner to Depart Firm
Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) — Partners Group Holding AG said Sascha Wagner, an executive in Asia, will leave the Swiss investment firm at the end of the year.
Wagner, a vice president in Singapore, will depart to pursue other opportunities, Jenny Blinch, a company spokeswoman, said in a statement today. Wagner didn’t immediately respond to e-mailed requests seeking comment.
Wagner, who joined Partners Group in 2007, was responsible for finding deals for the company in the secondaries market, where investors sell their stakes in buyout funds. Before joining that team in 2013, Wagner worked in the operation that helped provide money to funds controlled by third-party managers, Blinch said.
Partners Group, based in Zug, Switzerland, has no plans to directly replace Wagner and the Asia secondaries team will continue to be led by Adam Howarth, who relocated to the U.S. from Singapore in March, Blinch said.
Partners Group, one of Europe’s largest publicly traded alternative asset managers, started by former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. employees Alfred Gantner, Marcel Erni and Urs Wietlisbach, sold its shares on the Swiss stock market in 2006. It managed 33.8 billion euros ($42 billion) of assets as of June 30, according to its half-year report.
