Oct 6 (Reuters) — A London-listed investment trust managed by Partners Group is set to be wound down after investors representing nearly three-quarters of its shares opted to cash out, according to voting results published by the group. 1% of the shares in Partners Group Private Equity Limited chose a liquidity option, exceeding a threshold that triggered the abandonment of a planned restructuring in favour of an orderly liquidation. 6% at 0906 GMT. The vote comes amid a challenging year for Partners Group, which has faced pressure this year from elevated redemption requests in some of its private-market funds.
After limiting withdrawals from several evergreen funds in June, the firm said it would introduce a dual share-class structure for the London-listed PGPE, allowing up to 30% of the fund to be wound down. Last week, it unveiled plans to split its 19-year-old Global Value SICAV fund into separate compounding and distributing portfolios, giving investors the choice between long-term exposure and cash distributions from asset sales. com)
