(LSE: PEY)
Partners Group Private Equity Limited
NAV per share decreased by 0.5% in August
· NAV decreased to EUR 11.53 per share, corresponding to EUR 765.12 million
· Flat portfolio revaluations (+0.1%) after impact from KinderCare Learning Companies ("KinderCare") while negative currency movements (-0.5%) dragged on overall performance
· PGPE Ltd invested EUR 2.6 million during the month
The portfolio revaluations were impacted by the listed share price performance of KinderCare, the largest for-profit provider of early childhood education and care services in the US. The company recently reported its second quarter financial results, which reflected lower enrollment partially offset by contributions from newer centers and tuition increases. Partners Group continues to work closely with the KinderCare board and management team to boost occupancy and drive expansion.
Meanwhile, younger vintages remain an important source of value creation for the portfolio, with investments such as Rosen Group, a global leader in mission-critical inspection services and integrity management solutions for energy infrastructure assets, and MPM Products, a UK-based premium pet food company, continuing to perform well.
In August, Partners Group, on behalf of its clients, invested in Sports Entertainment Group ("SEG"), becoming its largest outside shareholder. SEG is an international sports talent agency representing more than 1'000 athletes and artists across football, cycling, gaming and music through a network of approximately 200 agents and staff in 40 countries. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the company has benefited from growing demand for talent representation as athletes increasingly generate income through endorsements, image rights and direct audience engagement, supporting net revenue growth of approximately 40% annually over the past three years. Partners Group intends to support SEG's continued growth through targeted acquisitions, expansion into additional sports and adjacent services, and enhanced commercial partnership and brand development capabilities. The investment by PGPE Ltd in SEG was EUR 2.6 million.
