Partners Group has implemented a strategic approach to AI, with 90% of its portfolio companies having dedicated AI initiatives. This includes C-suite and board-level oversight, aiming to drive value, particularly in middle-market companies.
“For us, ninety percent of the companies have portfolio initiatives attached to them. And that's not an accident, right, it is a deliberate strategy.”
“We have developed an AI risk framework about three or four years ago which we've been applying and then we further double down our efforts. And now if you look at our portfolio companies, we have a C suite member is dedicated to a fostering rose AI initiatives. We have a board member that also oversees those AI initiatives.”
“But if you look at the middle market companies, most of them are not yet there. Most of them when are piloting stage or just really really early beta testing stage. So that's where I think efforts like ours can be really meaningful in driving that value for middle market companies.”
