Partners Group Plans Kuwait Office to Expand GCC Presence and Support Regional Economic Transformation
Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, has announced plans to open an office in Kuwait, expanding its presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. The application process is underway, with the firm expecting to announce completion and a local leadership team following regulatory approvals. This move will bring the firm’s global office count to 25.
Executive Chairman Steffen Meister highlighted Kuwait’s long-standing role as a supporter of the firm and the country’s impressive growth plans under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah. ‘Kuwait and the wider GCC have become a globally relevant nexus for the coming technologically led economic transformation and the region is set to offer many compelling investment opportunities in the coming decade,’ Meister stated.
The expansion follows Partners Group’s established Middle East presence, which began with a Dubai office in 2010 and expanded to Abu Dhabi in 2025. The firm’s portfolio companies currently employ over 2,000 individuals in the region, with many seeking to increase their footprint. Suhail Albaz, Chairman for the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, emphasized the firm’s deep relationships in Kuwait built over decades. ‘Our firm is proud to support Kuwait in achieving their investment and economic diversification goals,’ Albaz said. The Kuwait team will engage key stakeholders on investment priorities and expand the firm’s investment portfolio in the state.
This strategic expansion underscores the growing importance of the GCC region in global private markets. Partners Group manages over USD 185 billion in assets globally and operates across private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, royalties, and special opportunities. The firm’s move into Kuwait aligns with regional economic diversification efforts and positions it to participate directly in the region’s anticipated transformation.
