My latest exclusive for The Wall Street Journal: PGIM, the global investment business of Prudential Financial, and private-markets firm Partners Group have entered a partnership to construct a suite of multi-asset investment strategies, the latest in a growing number of such tie-ups between private markets firms and global asset managers. The new partnership combines PGIM’s experience across public and private asset classes, including credit and real estate, with Partners Group’s track record in private markets, particularly private equity and private infrastructure. The partnership emerged in response to growing demand for alternative assets among PGIM clients, including wealthy individuals and defined-contribution plans. As their needs have become more complex, investors have asked for an easily implementable solution to many of the challenges that have inhibited growth in the space, said Dominick Carlino, the global head of alternative investments at PGIM. https://lnkd.in/e8ttw6Vk
