Partners Group has teamed up with Sella SGR to introduce the first evergreen private equity ELTIF fund on the Italian market.

The new fund – Partners Group Private Equity Opportunities SICAV – is distributed exclusively by Banca Sella and Banca Patrimoni Sella & C., and is available to retail investors with a minimum subscription of €10,000.

Structured under the ELTIF 2.0 regime, the fund provides semi-liquid access to private equity, enabling monthly subscriptions and quarterly redemptions. This structure supports immediate capital deployment, automatic reinvestment of distributions, and exposure to an already diversified portfolio of ten investments. An additional 15 deals are expected to close by year-end.

The fund mirrors an investment strategy backed by over 17 years of performance data, offering private investors long-term exposure to unlisted companies across sectors. It also complies with Article 8 of the SFDR regulation, reflecting ESG characteristics.

“This partnership enables us to offer an innovative solution tailored for private clients seeking diversification and long-term growth through private equity,” said Alessandro Marchesin, Head of Wealth & Asset Management at Sella Group. “It supports the real economy by channelling capital, expertise, and strategic guidance into businesses in need of growth, restructuring, or efficiency improvements.”

Enrico Pinelli, Head of Client Solutions Italy at Partners Group, added: “We are delighted to welcome Sella into our global distribution network. Their leading position in Italian private banking, combined with our track record in evergreen private equity, lays the foundation for a high-quality offering tailored to Italian investors.”

The launch marks a milestone in democratising access to private equity in Italy, bringing a traditionally institutional asset class closer to affluent and retail investors through regulated, flexible structures.
