To the Board of Managers and Members of
Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2025, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2025 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2025, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2025 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We conducted our audit of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, portfolio company investees private equity funds or agent banks; when replies were not received from the custodian, portfolio company investees, private equity funds or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
March 31, 2025

 

 

Dear Members1,

 

Partners Group is pleased to present the Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC (the “Fund”) annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The Fund (Class I)2 produced a 5.8% total return for the fiscal year and finished the year with USD 15.8 billion in net assets. It was the Fund’s fifteenth consecutive year of positive performance. The Fund intends to declare dividends each year equal to all or substantially all its taxable income. As such, in December 2024 the Fund distributed $0.0362 per share to investors, entirely composed of long-term capital gains.

 

Management commentary

 

In 2024, the global economy reached a balance between growth and easing inflation; however, it displayed a mix of resilience and divergence across regions. The United States continued to outperform Europe, driven by strong private consumption and robust private sector balance sheets. Global Private Equity buyout activity rebounded in 2024 after two years of subdued activity. The year began with a slow start in Q1, but activity surged in Q2. This momentum largely sustained through Q3, albeit at a level slightly below the prior quarter. This increased activity was supported by recalibrated valuations, improved financing availability alongside declining cost of financing, and the substantial pool of dry powder available for transactions. Despite these signs of normalization, Q4 saw a notable slowdown. As 2024 progressed, momentum built, although global Private Equity exit activity remained below pandemic-era levels. Overall, exit activity demonstrated “slow but steady” growth throughout the year as market conditions gradually improved. Trade sales continued to be the most common form of exit, followed by secondary buyouts. The global secondaries market enjoyed sustained growth in 2024, driven by the necessity for sellers to liquidate assets, alongside favorable public market conditions and reduced interest rates which enhanced investor confidence. The Fund’s performance in 2024 was driven by fundamental earnings growth in the portfolio more than by multiple expansion or exit activity. The Private Equity Direct portfolio in the Fund achieved 9.8%3 growth in EBITDA during the 2024 calendar year while maintaining robust EBITDA margins of 32.3%3. We believe this is strong investment performance in a challenging environment.

 

The public equity markets experienced a rally in 2024 following the strong performance in 2023: the MSCI World Index (NDDUWI) posted a 18.7% return4 in the calendar year 2024, propelled by the technology industry (especially the “Magnificent Seven” stocks). In contrast to private markets, the public market returns in 2024 were primarily valuation-driven, building on the gains of 2023 and continuing the rebound from the lows of 2022. Notwithstanding the volatility in public market prices, we continued to see stronger growth and positioning from the companies in the Fund’s portfolio compared to public companies. For example, as of December 31, 2024, the MSCI World Index saw EBITDA growth of approximately 8.6% in the 2024 calendar year4, compared to 9.8% in the Fund’s Private Equity Direct portfolio6. The Fund’s portfolio also maintained margins more effectively, with 32.3%3 average EBITDA margin vs. 18.7%4 in the public index in the 2024 calendar year. We believe that focusing on market-leading businesses and taking an active investing approach fosters long-term business growth, leading to outperformance.

 

While the Fund’s existing portfolio continues to create value for investors, the Adviser was selective in pursuing new investment opportunities in 2024. We remained disciplined in our rigorous underwriting and found select attractive opportunities. We also focused on maintaining a high investment level with less than 10% cash in any given month. Financial markets are adjusting to a new era defined by macroeconomic volatility and elevated uncertainty. In this “brave new world”, investors can no longer solely rely on high levels of real growth or low interest rates to drive returns. For private markets, this shift emphasizes the importance of value creation through asset transformation and identifying investment themes supported by long-term secular trends.

Portfolio positioning

 

As has been the case since the Fund’s inception, the Adviser’s relative value views will vary across asset class, investment type, geography, or position in the capital structure. We believe that the flexibility afforded by the Fund’s ability to make Direct Investments and primary and secondary Private Equity Fund Investments in a variety of markets, regions, and sectors, will continue to help the Fund achieve its investment objectives. Private Equity Secondary and Direct Investments were the investment focus of 2024. This approach allowed to capitalize on the appealing opportunities within the secondary market, while also continuing to leverage direct investments, which we believe will be the key driver of returns in the future.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Fund has direct and indirect exposure to more than 3,000 portfolio companies with the top 20 representing 25.0% of the portfolio. Geographic splits are North America (53%), Europe (38%), Asia-Pacific (6%), and other regions (3%). Of these, the Fund held direct interests in 417 assets (64% of portfolio value), 223 primary commitments (14%), 81 stakes in secondary investments (16%), and 110 listed investments (6%). The Fund is further diversified across more than 15 different vintage years.

 

We expect to maintain a structural overweight to Private Equity Direct investments and opportunistic secondaries in 2025. While secondaries can be an attractive source of returns in the near-term if LP portfolios are acquired at a discount, we believe that ultimately the value created by direct investments is essential for long-term performance of the Fund.

 

Private Equity

 

In 2024, the Fund maintained an overweight allocation in Private Equity, with direct investments complemented by exposure to secondary and primary investments. Private Equity Direct Investments were the largest contributor to the positive performance during the year, accounting for about 35% of the Fund’s investment value creation.

Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC

 

 

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
March 31, 2025 (continued)

 

 

Within our Private Equity portfolio, our strategy is a defensive and disciplined approach in how we select and manage our portfolio companies. We buy market-leading business in non-cyclical sectors that are poised for future expansion, and we reenforce these already-strong companies with expertise that our network of experienced Operating Directors brings. We aim to capitalize on organic growth by harnessing transformation and digitalization in sectors that have the potential to become less labor-intensive and where a greater reliance on technology-enabled solutions is appealing.

 

During the fiscal year, the portfolio companies in the Fund exhibited remarkable EBITDA growth despite the market volatility. We believe this demonstrates the expertise of the investment team in identifying and capitalizing on non-cyclical themes such as technology and industrial sectors. The active involvement of the investment team with portfolio companies also played a crucial role in driving EBITDA growth, showing the value of hands-on management in the success of a company. Furthermore, our active involvement in risk management ensured that a substantial majority of our Private Equity Direct portfolio is protected against fluctuations in variable interest rates with interest rate hedges in place and debt maturities in 2028 and beyond.

 

Private Debt

 

Private Debt continued to be appealing in 2024 due to the favorable environment of relatively higher interest rates. The yield in the Private Debt portfolio provided attractive risk-adjusted return, and we added to this position to capitalize on the trend, particularly while the buyout transaction volumes remained below pre-pandemic levels. The direct lending market has been steadily growing, capturing market share from the traditional bank-led syndicated loan market and positioning itself as a credible alternative to conventional bank lending, particularly for large financing transactions.

 

Given these trends, the Fund maintained its tactical target allocation to Private Debt throughout the financial year. Our approach involved a thematic analysis, focusing on specific sectors and companies and benefiting from our direct underwriting capabilities. We actively sought opportunities characterized by substantial equity cushions, moderate leverage, and contractual safeguards. The Fund’s portfolio reflects both high diversification and selectivity, allowing us to mitigate risks associated with lower-rated issuers.

 

Private Infrastructure

 

During the financial year, the Fund’s allocation to Private Infrastructure remains well-positioned. Private Infrastructure’s inherent link to inflation and essential services has effectively shielded it from inflationary pressures and demand challenges. Consequently, the asset class was the second largest contributor to the positive performance during the year, accounting for about 20% of the Fund’s investment value creation.

 

To build value in our infrastructure businesses, we focus on platform expansion coupled with entrepreneurship at scale to cultivate businesses within high-conviction thematic areas. We do so at reasonable valuations by buying mid-stage companies with future value-add potential, rather than paying premiums for established (“core”) infrastructure businesses. Our value-add approach to infrastructure earns returns that are attractive in the Fund’s Private Equity-focused portfolio, while providing diversification of return drivers.

 

Other investments

 

A considerably smaller portion of the Fund’s investments is allocated to other liquid assets, including Common Stocks (both listed infrastructure and listed Private Equity). Additionally, to a lesser degree, the Fund also invests nominal amounts in Asset-Backed Securities

 

In 2024, the liquid portion of the fund experienced strong single digit performance with a bifurcation in performance between listed Private Equity and infrastructure. The Private Equity listed portfolio fared better than the infrastructure listed portfolio during this period. Asset managers played a pivotal role in the strong performance of listed Private Equity assets. This was fueled by robust credit fundraising, their expansion into the insurance sector, and the anticipation that several key holdings might be included in the S&P 500 index.

 

Looking ahead

 

At a macro level, the global economy continues to display signs of overall resilience, but the outlook is heavily dependent on US policy shifts, notably regarding tariffs which is fueling uncertainty. Inflation has moderated across major developed economies, but recent upticks in the US in particular highlight ongoing challenges in fully cooling price growth. Central banks are navigating this complex landscape with cautious monetary policy adjustments. In its base case, Partners Group anticipates

an investment landscape characterized by inflation and interest rate volatility, which will lead to fluctuations in valuations and cash flows. This situation reinforces the need for disciplined underwriting, with a careful approach to leverage as well as a focus on margin resilience.

 

Since the announcement by the US administration of new tariffs on April 2, we have witnessed increased volatility in public markets and rising levels of uncertainty in the macro-economic environment. The impact of new tariffs announced by the US administration on the Fund is low. 86% of PGPE’s control direct Private Equity portfolio is either out of tariff scope or expected to see limited impact, with significant diversification across sectors like Industrial Services, Information Technology, and Health Care. The Fund is purpose-built from 20+ years of experience learned from past crises like the global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. The fund is well-positioned to weather market volatility with a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets, ample liquidity, and flexibility to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities that arise from market dislocation.

 

We sincerely appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed in Partners Group through your investment in the Fund. Thank you for your ongoing support. If you have any further questions or comments, we encourage you to reach out to your dedicated Partners Group representative or email our team at the provided address at DLPGPEOperations@partnersgroup.com.

Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC

 

(a Delaware Limited Liability Company)

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – March 31, 2025

 

 

1. Organization

 

Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC (the “Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company that was organized on August 4, 2008 and commenced operations on July 1, 2009. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund has filed an application to register units of limited liability company interests in the Fund (“Units”) under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Fund is managed by Partners Group (USA) Inc. (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”) pursuant to a second amended and restated investment management agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “Investment Management Agreement”). The Board of Managers of the Fund (collectively, the “Board” and each member thereof a “Manager”) has oversight responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund. As permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any of its rights, powers and authority to, among others, the officers of the Fund, a committee of the Board, or the Adviser, as it did in causing the Fund to enter into the Investment Management Agreement. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of private equity and debt investments including infrastructure. The Fund makes investments directly and through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Partners Group Private Equity (Subholding), LLC (the “Onshore Subsidiary”), Partners Group Private Equity (Luxembourg) S.à r.l (the “Offshore Subsidiary”), Partners Group Revolver Pooling PGPE, LLC (the “Revolver Subsidiary”), and Partners Group Private Equity (BSL), LLC and Partners Group Private Equity (BSL) SPV, LLC (collectively, the “BSL Subsidiaries”).

 

Units are offered only to investors that represent that they are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “qualified clients” within the meaning of Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act. Purchasers of Units become members of the Fund (“Members”).

 

The Fund has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

The Fund currently offers two classes of Units designated as “Class A Units” and “Class I Units”. In the future the Fund may offer additional classes of Units. The Class A Units and the Class I Units have, and each additional class of Units issued by the Fund, if any, will have different characteristics, particularly regarding the sales charges that purchasers of Units of the additional class bear, and the distribution and service fees, if any, and other class specific expenses, if any, that are charged to holders of Units of the additional class. The Fund has received an exemptive order from the SEC with respect to the Fund’s multi-class structure.

 

Although Units of each class represent pro rata interests in the Fund, each class votes separately on class-specific matters. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of Units based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Fund is an investment company and applies the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

2.a. Basis of Accounting

 

The Fund’s accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

2.b. Valuation of Investments

 

Investments held by the Fund include short-term investments, publicly traded equity (“Public Investments”), direct equity and debt investments in operating companies (“Direct Investments”) and primary and secondary investments in private equity funds (“Primary Investments” and “Secondary Investments”, respectively, and together, “Private Equity Fund Investments”; Direct Investments and Private Equity Fund Investments, collectively, “Private Equity Investments”).

 

The Fund is required to report its investments, including those for which current market values are not readily available, at fair value.

(a Delaware Limited Liability Company)

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – March 31, 2025 (continued)

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Fund values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date, and Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act (“Rule 2a-5”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations and approved amended Valuation Procedures.

 

Fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters when such quotations are readily available. In accordance with Rule 2a-5, a market quotation is “readily available” only when it is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments that a fund can access at the measurement date, provided that such a quotation is not considered to be readily available if it is not reliable.

 

The Adviser, as “valuation designee” under Rule 2a-5, determines the fair value of the Fund’s Private Equity Investments in conformity with U.S. GAAP, Rule 2a-5, and the Fund’s Valuation Procedures. As permitted by the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser values the Fund’s Private Equity Investments in consultation with persons who are employees of the Adviser’s parent company or one of its subsidiaries. The Valuation Procedures require evaluation of all relevant factors reasonably available to the Adviser and its affiliates at the time the Fund’s Private Equity Investments are valued.

 

Direct Investments

 

In assessing the fair value of the Fund’s non-traded Direct Investments in accordance with the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser uses a variety of methods such as earnings multiples, discounted cash flow and market data from third party pricing services. The Adviser makes valuation assumptions based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for certain similar instruments are used for debt investments where appropriate. Other techniques, such as option pricing models and estimated discounted value of future cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

 

Private Equity Fund Investments

 

The fair values of Private Equity Fund Investments determined by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures are estimates. These estimates are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable pursuant to the respective organizational documents of the Private Equity Fund Investments. Ordinarily, the fair value of a Private Equity Fund Investment is based on the net asset value of that Private Equity Fund Investment reported by its investment manager. If the Adviser determines that the most recent net asset value reported by the investment manager of a Private Equity Fund Investment does not represent fair value or if the manager of a Private Equity Fund Investment fails to report a net asset value to the Fund, a fair value determination is made by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. In making that determination, the Adviser will consider whether it is appropriate, considering all relevant circumstances, to value such Private Equity Fund Investment at the net asset value last reported by its investment manager, or whether to adjust such value by a premium or discount. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

 

For each of the Fund’s Private Equity Fund Investments (for the purposes of this paragraph, an “Investee”), the Fund has no right to cause the Investee or any third party to purchase the Fund’s investment in the Investee, at the end of the term of such investment, or any other time. Accordingly, in a typical Private Equity Fund Investment, the Fund expects to realize the value remaining in its investment at the end of the investment’s term through distributions resulting from the liquidation of the remaining assets of the Investee.

 

Public Investments

 

The fair values of financial instruments traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any foreign stock exchange will be valued based on their respective market price (“Readily Available Market Quotations”). A market quotation is readily available only when that quotation is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the fund can access at the measurement date, provided that quotation will not be readily available if it is not reliable.

Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC

 

(a Delaware Limited Liability Company)

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – March 31, 2025 (continued)

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The fair values of asset-backed securities are determined by price quotations from unaffiliated market makers, financial institutions that regularly trade similar investments or independent valuation agents using industry standard valuation models.

 

The Valuation Procedures are implemented by the Adviser and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”). Both the Adviser and the Administrator are subject to the oversight of, and report to, the Board. The Adviser and the Administrator monitor and review the methodologies of the various third-party pricing services that are employed by the Fund.

 

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates act as investment advisers to clients other than the Fund. However, the valuation attributed to a Private Equity Investment held by the Fund and to the same Private Equity Investment held by another client, one of the Adviser’s affiliates, or by a client of one of its affiliates might differ due to differences in accounting, regulatory or other factors applicable to the Fund, to such other client or the Adviser’s affiliate.

 

2.c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

In the normal course of its business the Fund holds cash, including foreign currencies, in short-term interest-bearing deposit accounts, and short-term U.S. Treasury Bills (“T-Bills”) to provide liquidity pending investment in Private Equity Investments. T-Bills are valued at amortized cost which is close to or a proxy for fair value. At times, the amounts held in these accounts may exceed applicable federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in these accounts and does not believe that it is exposed to significant credit risk in these accounts.

 

2.d. Foreign Currency Translation

 

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Generally, valuations of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollar equivalents using valuation date exchange rates, while purchases, realized gains and losses, income and expenses are translated at transaction date exchange rates. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments denominated in foreign currencies were as follows:

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

2.e. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

 

The Fund may enter forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange rate risk. These contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date may be entered into as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of the Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. Dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency denominated investments will decline due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. The risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts and the risk of unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar are inherent in forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund entered 427 long/short forward foreign currency exchange contracts. As disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Fund had $18,014,142 in unrealized appreciation and $(71,750,626) in unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. As disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, the Fund had $106,893,375 in net realized gains (losses) and $(82,967,210) change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

 

2.f. Investment Income

 

The Fund records a distribution of cash or in-kind securities on a Private Equity Investment at fair value based on the information contained in the notice provided to the Fund when the distribution is received. Thus, the Fund recognizes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations its share of realized gains (or losses) and the Fund’s share of net investment income (or loss) based upon information received about distributions on Private Equity Investments. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations includes the Fund’s share of unrealized gains and losses, realized undistributed gains/losses, and undistributed net investment income (or loss) on Private Equity Investments for the relevant period.

 

The Fund classifies various types of non-interest income earned from Direct Investments as either other income or transaction income. Other income includes transfer fees, amendment fees, and unfunded fees. Transaction income includes break-up fees, directors’ fees, financial advisory fees, topping fees, investment banking fees, monitoring fees, organizational fees, and syndication fees.

 

2.g. Interest and Dividend Income

 

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends received from foreign securities and Direct Equity Investments for which the ex-dividend date has passed, in which case the dividend is recorded as soon as a Fund is informed that the ex-dividend date has occurred. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis from the settlement date, except for securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from the effective date.

 

2.h. Fund Expenses

 

The Fund records expenses for all costs incurred in its conduct of the business of the Fund on an accrual basis, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs of portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund’s account; legal fees; accounting, auditing, and tax preparation fees; custodial fees; fees for lines of credit; fees for data and software providers; costs of insurance; registration costs; fees of each Manager who is not an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act (each, individually an “Independent Manager” and collectively, the “Independent Managers”); and costs of meetings of the Board, including reimbursement of the Independent Managers for their costs in attending meetings of the Board.

 

2.i. Expenses Relating to Purchases of Secondary Investments

 

Expenses relating to purchases of Secondary Investments include the amortization of deferred payments on Secondary Investments. Such amortization expense is recognized on a monthly basis until the due date of a deferred payment.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

2.j. Income Taxes

 

The Fund recognizes tax positions in its consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the relevant taxing authority will, upon examination, sustain the position based on its merits. A position that meets this standard is measured at the maximum benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon settlement. The Fund classifies any interest expense related to income taxes in income tax expense, and any income tax penalties under expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Fund’s tax positions have been reviewed based on applicable statutes of limitation for tax assessments, which may vary by jurisdiction. Based on this review, the Fund has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. The Fund is subject to potential examination by certain taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The Fund’s tax positions are subject to ongoing interpretation of laws and regulations by taxing authorities.

 

As noted above, the Fund has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If the Fund were to fail to meet the requirements of Subchapter M to qualify as a RIC, and if the Fund were ineligible to or otherwise were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income, whether or not distributed to Members, at corporate rates, and all distributions of earnings and profits would be taxable to Members as ordinary income. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make substantial distributions until it requalifies as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment under Subchapter M. In order to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M, the Fund must distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to holders of Fund Units and meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to its investments. The Onshore Subsidiary is treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Offshore Subsidiary, Revolver Subsidiary, and BSL Subsidiaries are each treated as an entity separate from the Fund, and thus are disregarded, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Onshore Subsidiary is required to recognize its estimate of income taxes for Federal and State purposes as a deferred tax asset or liability. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for income tax purposes. If the Onshore Subsidiary has a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether a valuation allowance is required. The Offshore Subsidiary, Revolver Subsidiary, and BSL Subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

 

The Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of March 31, 2025, the tax years from 2019 forward remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions in which the Fund is subject to examination.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2025 the Fund reclassified $99,702,655 of undistributed net investment income, $(363,785,140) of accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and forward foreign currency contracts, $0 of accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments and forward foreign currency contracts, and $0 of foreign currency translation, to paid-in capital.

 

2.k. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported increases and decreases in capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

2.l. Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2.m. Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

 

The Fund is subject to requirements to disclose information about offsetting assets and liabilities and similar arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”) or similar arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The table below presents the amounts of the Fund’s derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025: gross, net of amounts available for offset under a MNA, and net of the related collateral received and/or pledged, if any, by the Fund:

2.n. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. The Adviser acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the Fund as a whole, based on a defined investment objective of the Fund. The Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets are used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make sure resource allocations are consistent with the information presented within the Fund’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements detail the Fund’s segment assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

 

In conformity with U.S. GAAP, investments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used if a ready market existed or if the investments were liquidated at the valuation date. A three-level hierarchy is used to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). This distinction determines the classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The various types of inputs used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments are summarized below for each of the three levels:

 

Valuation of Investments

 

Level 1 – Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include marketable securities that are primarily traded on one or more of the U.S. national securities exchanges, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any foreign stock exchange. The fair value is determined to be the last sale price on the determination date, or, if no sales occurred on that date, the closing bid price on the determination date. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Fund does not apply a blockage discount to the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Fund holds a large position in an investment and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

 

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets (i.e., not Level 1 inputs). Fair value is determined using models or other valuation methodologies through direct or indirect corroboration with observable market data. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate notes, convertible notes, warrants and restricted public equity securities. The fair value of legally restricted equity securities may be discounted depending on the likely impact of the restrictions on liquidity and the Adviser’s estimates.

 

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and/or estimation. Investments that are included in this category are private equity and debt investments, as well as convertible notes and warrants that are not actively traded. The fair value for investments using Level 3 pricing inputs is based on the Adviser’s estimates that consider a combination of various factors and performance measurements. These factors and measurements include the timing of the transaction; the market in which the investment operates; comparable market transactions; operational performance and projections of the investments; various performance multiples as applied to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization or a similar measure of earnings for the latest reporting period or a forward period; brokers’ quotes; and discounted cash flow analysis.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments classified in the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025:

For the purposes of the tables above: (i) “Direct Investments” are private investments directly in the equity or debt of selected operating companies, often together with the management of the investee operating company; (ii) “Primary Investments” are investments in newly established private equity partnerships where underlying portfolio companies are generally not known as of the time of investment; (iii) and “Secondary Investments” are single or portfolios of assets acquired on the secondary market. However, in the private equity market sector the term “secondary investments” is generally understood to mean Private Equity Fund Investments acquired in the secondary market (See Note 2.b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund reasonably determines that the strict application of the above definitions would not reflect the economic substance of any investment, the Fund may re-classify such investment as it deems appropriate.

 

Changes in inputs or methods used for valuing investments may result in transfers in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methods used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported at the beginning of the reporting period in which they occur.

 

The amount of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the year ended March 31, 2025 relating to investments in Level 3 assets still held at March 31, 2025 is $ 747,070,177, which is included as a component of net change in accumulated unrealized depreciation on investments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Level 3 fair value includes accrued interest.

 

Level 3 Direct Equity Investments valued using an unobservable input are directly affected by a change in that input. For Level 3 Direct Debt Investments, the Fund estimates fair value utilizing earnings and multiples analysis or an analysis of discounted cash flows that considers the credit risk and interest rate risk of the particular investment. For Direct Investments, significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurements.

 

The amounts from Partners Group investment vehicles pertain to non-investment related assets (liabilities) and/or any difference in fair value classification of its underlying investments. In certain cases, this may also include underlying investments that are measured under Level 1 or Level 2 but presented under Level 3 in fair value measurement note since the investments are held under external partnership investments.

4. Revolving Credit Agreement

 

The Fund has a secured, committed multicurrency revolving line of credit (“LOC”) facility with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets plc (successor of Lloyds Bank plc), NatWest Markets plc (successor of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc), Barclays Bank plc, UBS AG, and Bank of America, N.A. in the aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,261,000,000. The Fund anticipates that this LOC facility will be used primarily for working capital requirements and for financing investments and funding associated costs and expenses. The Fund will incur additional interest and other expenses for the use of this and other future line of credit facilities. Borrowings under this facility had been charged a rate of interest per annum that was the aggregate of the applicable margin of 3.25% which was until June 30, 2023, London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), after June 30, 2023, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or, in relation to any loan in Euros, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), and a commitment fee of 1.20% per annum on the daily unused portion. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund did not have any borrowings and did not incur any interest expense under the LOC facility. In addition to the commitment fee under the LOC facility the Fund agrees to pay arrangement fees based on the rate agreed to with the various lenders, agency fees of $25,000 per annum, monitoring fees of $25,000 per annum and trustee fees of $15,000 per annum. The term of the LOC facility runs until January 29, 2027.

 

5. Unit Transactions/Subscription and Repurchase of Units

 

In general, Units are offered for purchase as of the first day of each calendar month. However, Units may be offered more or less frequently as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

Pursuant to the conditions of an exemptive order issued by the SEC, and in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, the Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for the Class A Units (the “Distribution Plan”). The Distribution Plan allows the Fund to pay distribution fees for the promotion and distribution of its Class A Units and the provision of personal services to holders of Class A Units. Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund may pay as compensation an amount up to 0.70% on an annualized basis of the value of the Fund’s net asset attributable to Class A Units (the “Distribution Fee”). Payment of the Distribution Fee is governed by the Distribution Plan. The Distribution Fee is paid out of the Fund’s assets and decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Fund solely with respect to Class A Units. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund accrued distribution fees of $58,995,659 which were attributable to Class A Units. Class I Units are not subject to the Distribution Plan or the Distribution Fee and do not bear any expenses associated therewith. In addition, under the Distribution Plan, subscriptions for Class A Units may be subject to a placement fee (the “Placement Fee”) of up to 3.50% of the subscription amount. No Placement Fee may be charged without the consent of the placement agent.

 

The Board may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to repurchase Units from Members pursuant to written tenders by Members at such times and on such terms and conditions as established by the Board. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Units, the Board considers the recommendation of the Adviser, as well as a variety of other operational, business, and economic factors. The Adviser anticipates recommending to the Board that, under normal circumstances, the Fund conduct quarterly repurchase offers for Units having an aggregate value of no more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets each January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st. The Fund is entitled to charge a 2.00% early repurchase fee for any repurchase of Units from a Member at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Member’s purchase of such Units.

6. Management Fees, Incentive Fee and Fees and Expenses of Managers

 

Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement the Adviser is responsible for providing day-to-day investment management and certain other services to the Fund, subject to the ultimate supervision of and to any policies established by the Board. Accordingly, the Adviser is responsible for developing, implementing and supervising the Fund’s investment program. As consideration for its investment management services under the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee equal to 1/12th of 1.50% (1.50% on an annualized basis) of the greater of (i) the Fund’s net asset value and (ii) the Fund’s net asset value less cash and cash equivalents plus the total of all commitments made by the Fund that have not yet been drawn for investment. However, the Adviser has agreed that in no event will the management fee exceed 1.75% as a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $251,737,540 in management fees payable to the Adviser.

 

In addition to the monthly management fee, at the end of each calendar quarter (and at certain other times), the Adviser will be entitled to receive an Incentive Fee equal to 10% of the excess, if any, of (i) the net profits of the Fund for the relevant period over (ii) the then balance, if any, of the New Loss Recovery Account (as defined below). For the purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, the term “net profits” means the amount by which the net asset value of the Fund on the last day of the relevant period exceeds the net asset value of the Fund as of the beginning of the same period, including any net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments, realized gains or losses, investment income, expenses, while excluding contributions and withdrawals from the calculation of the Incentive Fee. The Fund maintains a memorandum account (the “New Loss Recovery Account”), which had an initial balance of zero and will be (i) increased upon the close of each calendar quarter of the Fund by the amount of the net losses of the Fund for the quarter, and (ii) decreased (but not below zero) upon the close of each calendar quarter by the amount of the net profits of the Fund for the quarter. Members will benefit from the New Loss Recovery Account in proportion to their holdings of Units. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $99,456,006 in Incentive Fees due to the Adviser.

 

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) with the Fund, whereby the Adviser has agreed to waive fees that it would otherwise be paid, and/or to assume expenses of the Fund (a “Waiver”), if required to ensure the Total Annual Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, certain transaction related expenses arising out of investments made by the Fund, extraordinary expenses, the Incentive Fee, and any acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 3.00% on an annualized basis with respect to Class A Units and 2.30% on an annualized basis with respect to Class I Units (the “Expense Limit”). For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a Waiver is made, the Adviser may recoup amounts waived or assumed, provided it is able to affect such recoupment without causing the Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment) to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limit in effect at the time of the waiver, and (b) the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Adviser or the Fund upon thirty days’ written notice to the other party. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Adviser did not waive any fees and the Fund did not pay any recoupment of existing waivers pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement.

8. Accounting and Administration Agreement

 

The Administrator serves as administrator and accounting agent to the Fund and provides certain accounting, record keeping and investor related services pursuant to an Accounting and Administration Agreement between the Fund and the Administrator. For its services the Administrator receives a monthly fee that is based upon the average net assets of the Fund, fees on portfolio transactions, as well as reasonable out of pocket expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $7,500,752 in administration and accounting fees due to the Administrator.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – March 31, 2025 (continued)

 

 

10. Indemnification

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter contracts that provide general indemnification. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund under such agreements, and therefore cannot be established; however, based on management’s experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

11. Commitments

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Fund had funded $16,871,397,248 or 90.3% of the $18,686,122,949 of its total commitments to Private Equity Investments. With respect to its (i) Direct Investments it had funded $12,016,257,236 of $12,512,311,232 in total commitments, (ii) Secondary Investments it had funded $2,807,903,422 of $3,187,256,875 in total commitments, and (iii) Primary Investments it had funded $2,047,236,590 of $2,986,554,842 in total commitments, in each case, as of March 31, 2025.

 

12. Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Fund involves significant risks, including industry risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and economic conditions risk. These risks should be carefully considered prior to investing and should only be considered by investors financially able to maintain their investment and who can afford a loss of a substantial part or all of such investment. The Fund invests substantially all its available capital in Private Equity Investments. Typically, these investments are in restricted securities that are not traded in public markets and are subject to substantial holding periods, so that the Fund may not be able to resell some of its holdings for extended periods, which may be several years. The Fund may have a concentration of investments in a particular industry or sector. The performance of investments in the sector may have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s Private Equity Investments are illiquid, typically subject to various restrictions on resale, and there is no assurance that the Fund will be able to realize the value of such investments in a timely manner. Private Equity Fund Investments are generally closed-end private equity partnerships with no right to withdraw prior to the termination of the partnership. The frequency of withdrawals is dictated by the governing documents of the Private Equity Fund Investments. Except where a market exists for the securities in which the Fund is directly or indirectly invested, the valuations of the Fund’s investments are estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainty in estimated valuations, those valuations may differ from the valuations that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

 

Investments in Units provide limited liquidity. It is currently intended that holders of Fund Units will be able to redeem Units only through quarterly offers by the Fund to purchase, from holders of Fund Units, a limited number of Units. Those offers are at the discretion of the Board on the recommendation of the Adviser. Therefore, an investment in the Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Units and should be viewed as a long-term investment. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment objective will be met.

 

The impairment or failure of one or more banks with whom the Fund, an underlying fund or their portfolio companies transacts may inhibit the Fund, an underlying fund or their portfolio companies’ ability to access depository accounts. In such cases, the Fund or an underlying fund or portfolio company may be forced to delay or forgo investments or other business opportunities or initiatives, resulting in lower Fund performance. In the event of such a failure of a banking institution where the Fund, an underlying fund or portfolio company holds depository accounts, access to such accounts could be restricted and U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) protection may not be available for balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC. In such instances, the Fund, an underlying fund or their portfolio companies may not recover such excess, uninsured amounts.

 

The failure of certain financial institutions, namely banks, may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. The failure of a bank (or banks) with which the Fund, an underlying fund or their portfolio companies have a commercial relationship could adversely affect, among other things, the Fund, underlying fund or one of their portfolio company’s ability to pursue key strategic initiatives, including by affecting the Fund, an underlying fund or portfolio company’s ability to borrow from financial institutions on favorable terms.

12. Risk Factors (continued)

 

Additionally, if the sponsor of an underlying fund, or a portfolio company, has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, the underlying fund and/or its portfolio companies may experience issues receiving financial support from the sponsor to support its operations or consummate transactions, to the detriment of their business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

 

13. Tax Information

 

Distributions to Members are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations that may differ in various (or significant) respects from generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations.

 

The tax year of the Fund is the 12-month period ending on October 31.

ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax position.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement

 

At a meeting of the Board held on December 13, 2023, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Managers, approved by a unanimous vote the continuation of the Second Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

In advance of the meeting, the Independent Managers requested and received extensive materials from the Adviser to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided by the Adviser included detailed comparative information relating to the performance, advisory fees and other expenses of the Fund.

 

The Board engaged in a detailed discussion of the materials with management of the Adviser. The Independent Managers then met separately with independent counsel to the Independent Managers for a further review of the information presented in the materials. Following this session, the full Board reconvened and after further discussion determined that the information presented provided a sufficient basis upon which to approve the Agreement.

 

Discussion of Factors Considered

 

The Independent Managers considered, among other things: (1) the terms of the Agreement; (2) the nature and quality of the advisory services rendered; (3) the experience and qualifications of the personnel that provide such services; (4) the fee structure and the expense ratios in relation to those of other investment companies having comparable investment policies and limitations; (5) the direct and indirect costs incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates in performing advisory services for the Fund, the basis of determining and allocating these costs, and the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in performing such services; (6) possible economies of scale arising from the growth of the Fund and the extent to which these have been passed on to the Fund; (7) other compensation or possible benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates arising from their advisory and other relationships with the Fund; (8) the Fund’s investment performance compared to other similar funds; (9) the fees charged by the Adviser and other investment advisers to similar clients and in comparison to industry fees for similar services; and (10) possible conflicts of interest that the Adviser may have with respect to the Fund.

 

The Independent Managers concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund is appropriate and consistent with the terms of the limited liability company agreement of the Fund, that the quality of those services is consistent with industry norms and that the Fund benefits from the Adviser’s management of the Fund’s investment program. In this regard, they took into account the scope of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Agreement and the complexity of the Fund’s investment program. The Independent Managers noted that, as compared to a group of other similar funds, the Fund generally underperformed for the 2023 fiscal year and generally outperformed for the 2022 fiscal year. The Independent Managers also considered that the performance of the Fund was positive for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2023 and had been positive since inception. The Independent Managers considered that on a regular basis they received and reviewed information from the Fund’s CCO regarding the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. In this regard, the Independent Managers considered the Adviser’s initiatives undertaken in order for the Fund to comply with the SEC rules related to fair valuation and derivatives.

Other Information (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

The Independent Managers also concluded that the Adviser had sufficient personnel with the appropriate education and experience to serve the Fund effectively and has demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The Independent Managers noted that the Adviser is part of a larger investment advisory group that advises other funds and individual investors with respect to private equity investments and that relationship may make available to the Fund investment opportunities that would not be available to the Fund if the Adviser was not the Fund’s investment adviser.

 

The Independent Managers considered the costs of the services provided by the Adviser and the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser in providing services to the Fund. The Independent Managers reviewed the financial statements of the Adviser and the Adviser’s parent and a profitability analysis of the Adviser, considered any direct or indirect revenues that could be received by affiliates of the Adviser, and concluded that the Adviser’s fees and profits were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable funds. The Independent Managers also concluded that the overall expense ratio of the Fund was reasonable, taking into account the size of the Fund and the quality of services provided by the Adviser.

 

The Independent Managers considered the extent to which economies of scale have been realized and whether fee levels reflect those economies, noting that as the Fund continues to grow, additional economies of scale may be realized. The Independent Mangers considered in that regard that the Fund’s gross and net expense ratios, exclusive of incentive fees, have generally declined as the Fund’s assets have grown.

 

The Independent Managers also discussed any ancillary benefits that may be received by Partners Group from the Adviser’s management of the Fund, including, without limitation, the potential for increased brand recognition of Partners Group. The Independent Managers concluded that the Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of any fall-out benefits.

 

The Independent Managers considered all factors and no one factor alone was deemed dispositive.

 

Conclusion

 

The Independent Managers determined that the information presented provided a sufficient basis upon which to approve the continuation of the Agreement and that the compensation and other terms of the Agreement were in the best interests of the Fund and its members.

Item 12. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

 

The Proxy Voting Policies are attached herewith.

 

PROXY VOTING POLICY

 

Investment advisers registered with the SEC, and which exercise voting authority with respect to client securities, are required by Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act") to (a) adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that client securities are voted in the best interests of clients, which must include how an adviser addresses material conflicts that may arise between the adviser’s interests and those of its clients; (b) disclose to clients how they may obtain information from the adviser with respect to the voting of proxies for their securities; (c) describe to clients a summary of its proxy voting policies and procedures and, upon request, furnish a copy to its clients; and (d) maintain certain records relating to the adviser’s proxy voting activities when the adviser does have proxy voting authority.

 

Partners Group (USA) Inc. (the “Adviser”) is the investment manager to Partners Group Private Equity (Master Fund), LLC (the “Fund”). All proxy voting responsibilities of the Fund are performed by the Adviser, with the assistance of the Administrator of the Fund. The Adviser utilizes Glass Lewis Europe Limited ("Proxy Firm"), to administer the voting of the Fund's proxies.

 

This policy is designed to address the Adviser’s obligations with respect to the Fund pursuant to Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act.

 

The Adviser shall vote the proxies appurtenant to all shares of corporate stock or ownership interest owned by the Fund for which it serves as adviser, and the Adviser shall vote said proxies in accordance with the proxy voting policies set forth herein.

 

1.       Scope of Policy

 

 

 

The Adviser is a fiduciary to the Fund. Accordingly, the Adviser has a fiduciary duty to vote all proxies in the best interest of the Fund.

 

The Adviser has an obligation to vote all proxies received from shares of corporate stock or ownership interest owned by its client accounts in the best interests of those clients.1 In voting these proxies, the Adviser may not be motivated by, or subordinate the Fund's interests, to its own objectives or those of persons or parties unrelated to the Fund. The Adviser will endeavor to exercise all appropriate and lawful care, skill, prudence and diligence in voting proxies, and shall vote all proxies relating to shares or ownership interests owned by the Fund and received by the Adviser. The Adviser shall not be responsible, however, for voting proxies that it does not receive in sufficient time to respond.

 

In order to carry out its responsibilities with regard to voting proxies, the Adviser will seek to track all shareholder/interest holder meetings convened by companies whose shares are held in the Fund, identify all material issues presented to shareholder/interest holders at such meetings, formulate a reasonable position on each such issue and ensure that proxies pertaining to all shares or ownership interests owned in client accounts are voted in accordance with such determinations.

 

In addition, the Adviser has engaged the services of the Proxy Firm, an independent third party, to cast proxy votes according to the Adviser’s established guidelines. The Proxy Firm will be required to promptly notify the Adviser of any proxy issues that do not fall under the guidelines set forth below. The Adviser does not believe that conflicts of interest will generally arise in connection with its proxy voting directives.

 

2.       Proxy Guidelines

 

The Adviser’s general policy is to support proposals that maintain or enhance (i) the economic value of the issuer and (ii) the rights and interests of unitholders, and to oppose proposals that are inconsistent with these objectives. Accordingly, proxy proposals are typically voted as set forth below. However, the Adviser may deviate from such general guidelines if it reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interest of the Fund.

 

I.       Election of Board of Directors

 

·The Adviser will generally vote in support of management’s nominees for the board of directors, and in favor of proposals that support board independence.

 

II.       Appointment of Independent Auditors

 

·The Adviser will generally support the recommendation of the board of directors.

 

III.       Issues of Corporate Structure and Shareholder/Interest Holder Rights

 

·The Adviser generally supports proposals designed to maintain or enhance shareholder/interest holder rights and/or value, such as the following:

 

 

1 For purposes of this policy, opportunities to vote on matters raised in connection with the Fund investments are considered to be proxies.

 

 

 

oManagement proposals for approval of stock/interest repurchase programs or stock splits (including reverse splits).

 

oProposals supporting shareholder/interest holders rights (i) to vote on shareholder/interest holder rights plans (poison pills), (ii) to remove supermajority voting provisions and/or (iii) to call special meetings and to act by written consent.

 

·The Adviser does not support obstacles erected by companies to prevent mergers or takeovers, as it considers that such actions may depress the company’s marketplace value. Accordingly, the Adviser generally votes against management on proposals such as the following:

 

oAnti-takeover and related provisions that serve to prevent the majority of shareholder/interest holders from exercising their rights or effectively deter appropriate tender offers and other offers.

 

oShareholder/interest holder rights plans (poison pills) that allow the board of directors to block appropriate offers to shareholder/interest holders or which trigger provisions preventing legitimate offers from proceeding.

 

oReincorporation in a jurisdiction which has more stringent anti-takeover and related provisions.

 

oChange-in-control provisions in non-salary compensation plans, employment contracts, and severance agreements which benefit management and would be costly to shareholder/interest holders if triggered.

 

oEstablishment of classified boards of directors.

 

·The Adviser generally votes against management on proposals such as the following, which have potentially substantial financial or best interest impact:

 

oCapitalization changes that add “blank check” classes of stock or classes that dilute the voting interests of existing shareholder/interest holders.

 

oAmendments to by-laws which would require super-majority shareholder/interest holder votes to pass or repeal certain provisions.

 

oElimination of shareholder/interest holders’ right to call special meetings.

 

oExcessive compensation.

 

o“Other business as properly comes before the meeting” proposals which extend “blank check” powers to those acting as proxy.

 

oProposals requesting re-election of insiders or affiliated directors who serve on audit, compensation, and nominating committees.

 

IV.       Mergers and Acquisitions

 

·The Adviser evaluates Mergers and Acquisitions on a case-by-case basis, and will use its discretion to vote in a manner that it believes will maximize shareholder/interest holder value.

 

V.       Executive and Director Equity-Based Compensation

 

 

 

·The Adviser is generally in favor of properly constructed equity-based compensation arrangements. The Adviser will support proposals that provide management with the ability to implement compensation arrangements that are both fair and competitive. However, the Adviser may oppose management proposals that could potentially significantly dilute shareholder/interest holders’ ownership interests in the company, or which it considers unreasonable.

 

VI.       Corporate Social and Policy Issues

 

·With respect to the wide variety of corporate and social policy issues for which voting may be required, the Adviser generally supports proposals that are designed to enhance the economic value of the issuer, provided such policies are not inconsistent with the principles of socially responsible investing adopted by the Adviser.

 

VII.       Matters Arising in Respect of Private Market Investments

 

·Matters arising in respect of direct investments will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Adviser will vote on or consent to such matters in a manner that is consistent with the general policy and principles outlined above. The basis for the voting decision and any recommendation the Adviser may receive from its affiliates or advisers, including the basis for the determination that the decision is in the best interests of the Fund and the Adviser’s other clients, shall be formalized in writing.

 

3.       Conflicts

 

From time to time, the Adviser will review a proxy which presents a potential material conflict. As a fiduciary to its clients, the Adviser takes these potential conflicts very seriously. While the Adviser’s only goal in addressing any such potential conflict is to ensure that proxy votes are cast in the clients’ best interests and are not affected by the Adviser’s potential conflict, there are a number of courses the Adviser may take including, but not limited to, delegating the vote to the Proxy Firm. The final decision about which course to follow shall be made by the Adviser’s investment committee.

 

When the matter clearly corresponds to one of the proposals enumerated above, casting a vote which simply follows the Adviser’s pre-determined policy would eliminate the Adviser’s discretion on the particular issue and hence avoid the conflict.

 

In other cases, where the matter presents a potential material conflict and is not clearly within one of the enumerated proposals, or is of such a nature that the Adviser believes more active involvement is necessary, the Adviser may delegate the vote to the Proxy Firm to determine the appropriate vote.

 

Alternatively, in certain situations the Adviser’s investment committee may determine that delegating the vote to the Proxy Firm is unfeasible, impractical or unnecessary. In such situations, the investment committee shall make a decision about the voting of the proxy. The basis for the voting decision, and any recommendation the Adviser may receive from its affiliates or advisers, including the basis for the determination that the decision is in the best interests of the Fund and the Adviser’s other clients, shall be formalized in writing.

 

 

 

4.       Proxy Voting Procedures

 

The following describes the standard procedures that are to be followed with respect to carrying out the Adviser's proxy policy. The execution of these procedures may be delegated in whole or in part.

 

1.When a proxy vote is called for, all relevant information in the proxy materials will be recorded by the Adviser in a database.

 

2.The Adviser will confirm the Fund's holdings of the securities and that the Fund is eligible to vote.

 

3.The Adviser will review the proxy and if necessary compile information relating to such proxy. The Adviser will consider whether there are any conflicts or other issues that warrant the delegating the vote to the Proxy Firm.

 

4.In determining how to vote, the Adviser will consider the guidelines set forth above, the Adviser’s knowledge of the company, and the recommendations (if any) put forth by the Proxy Firm or an affiliate.

 

5.The Adviser will maintain the documentation that supports its voting position. In particular, as to non-routine, materially significant or controversial matters, such documentation will describe the position taken, why that position is in the best interest of the Fund, an indication of whether the Adviser supported or did not support management and/or any other relevant information.

 

6.After the proxy is completed but before it is returned to the issuer and/or its agent, the Adviser may review the proxy to determine that the appropriate documentation has been created, including conflict of interest screening.

 

7.The Adviser will endeavor to submit its vote on all proxies in a timely fashion, in sufficient time for the vote to be lodged to the extent the Adviser has had an opportunity to follow its Proxy Policy.

 

8.The Adviser will retain (i) a copy of each proxy statement that the Adviser receives regarding the Fund's securities; (ii) a record of each vote cast by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund; (iii) a copy of any document created by the Adviser that was material to making a decision how to vote proxies on behalf of the Fund or that memorializes the basis for that decision; (iv) a copy of each written client request for information on how the Adviser voted proxies on behalf of the Fund, and (v) a copy of any written response by the Adviser to any (written or oral) client request for information on how the Adviser voted proxies on behalf of the requesting Fund investor.

 

9.The Adviser will periodically review these policies and procedures to ensure compliance.

*Member of the Liquid Private Markets Investment Committee

 

**Only the listed portions of the relevant registered investment company's or pooled investment vehicle's portfolios are managed by this member.

 

 

 

Potential Conflicts of Interests

 

Members of the Portfolio Management Team are involved in the management of other accounts, including proprietary accounts, separate accounts and other pooled investment vehicles. Members of the Portfolio Management Team may manage separate accounts or other pooled investment vehicles that may have materially higher or different fee arrangements than the Fund and may also be subject to performance-based fees. The side-by-side management of these separate accounts and pooled investment vehicles may raise potential conflicts of interest relating to cross trading and the allocation of investment opportunities.

 

The Adviser has a fiduciary responsibility to manage all client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. The Adviser seeks to provide best execution of all securities transactions and to allocate investments to client accounts in a fair and reasonable manner. To this end, the Adviser has developed policies and procedures designed to mitigate and manage the potential conflicts of interest that may arise from side-by-side management.

 

(a)(3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

 

The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Partners Group Holding AG (“Partners Group Holding”) and an affiliate of Partners Group AG, the principal operating subsidiary of Partners Group Holding. Partners Group Holding is a listed company with major ownership by its employees. The ownership structure is designed to motivate and retain employees.

 

The Portfolio Management Team and other employees of the Adviser are compensated with a fixed annual salary, which is typically supplemented by an annual bonus based on individual and team based performance. Key professionals, including the Portfolio Management Team, are additionally compensated through equity participation in Partners Group Holding.

 

This equity ownership is structured in a manner designed to provide for long-term continuity. Accordingly, the vesting parameters of equity incentives are rather stringent. Any equity or option holder intending to leave the firm has the obligation to render his or her unvested interest back to the company, either in the form of equity shares or options depending upon the extent of ownership interest. As a result, the Adviser believes that members of the Portfolio Management Team have a strong interest to remain with the firm over the long term.
