(LSE: PEY/PEYS)
Partners Group Private Equity Limited
NAV decreased by 2.4% in January 2026
· NAV decreased to EUR 12.69 per share, corresponding to EUR 867.36 million
· Portfolio revaluations (-1.6%) and unfavorable currency movements (-0.6%) weighed on NAV
· PGPE Ltd received distributions of EUR 3.8 million and invested EUR 3.3 million during the month
In January, the NAV of PGPE Ltd declined by 2.4%. This was driven by the revaluation of listed holdings, such as Vishal Mega Mart ("Vishal"), a leading retailer in India, and Galderma, a pure‑play dermatology category leader, with both companies otherwise continuing to perform well operationally. Vishal remains operationally resilient despite short-term market volatility. Meanwhile, Galderma delivered strong performance in 2025, supported by record net sales growth across major product categories and geographies.
Further at a portfolio level, Rosen Group ("Rosen"), a global market and technology leader in mission-critical inspection services for energy infrastructure assets, was a positive contributor during the month. This reflected Rosen's consistent financial performance and continued progress on operational transformation, including implementation of digital tools and organizational upgrades aligned with its ambition to further strengthen its position in data-enabled pipeline integrity management.
In terms of investment activity, PGPE Ltd invested EUR 3.2 million in a leading manufacturer of submetering devices serving submetering services providers in Europe. Its portfolio includes devices and connectivity components that allow consumption data to be captured and read remotely in multi-occupancy buildings.
Software exposure in PGPE Ltd's portfolio remains deliberately underweight relative to the broader industry, reflecting the Investment Manager's disciplined focus on selective business models that combine resilience with attractive long‑term economics. PGPE Ltd maintains a conservative allocation of less than 10%* to software, with broad diversification helping to shield the portfolio from recent volatility across the sector. This measured positioning ensures that software contributes to the long‑term growth of PGPE Ltd, while maintaining balance across economic cycles.
In early March, the Middle East saw a sharp escalation in regional tensions. While the situation continues to evolve, the Investment Manager's current assessment from an investment perspective indicates that the portfolio has negligible exposure to the region. The Investment Manager does not expect the situation to have a material direct impact on the portfolio at this stage and will continue to monitor developments closely.
*Software exposure falls under the broader category of Information Technology.
Ends.
