Founded in mid-1990s, Partners Group launched its first vehicle accessible to individual investors in the early naughties. Today it is at the frontline of the democratisation of private equity. In this episode, Ross Butler speaks to Joanna Asfour, the firm's managing director of client solutions, to discuss how private equity can help DC pensioners in the UK access private markets. We look particularly at LTAFs, the UK equivalent of ELTIFs and the various nuances of providing relatively simple access to the asset class for DC pension trustees, which can often require the involvement of life insurance platforms and master trusts.
