** Shares in Swiss investment management firm Partners Group Holding AG PGHN.S are up 4.33% after it published its H1 results, driven by higher performance fees than consensus expected
** The company reported increasing profits in H1, with an EBITDA of CHF 733 million ($914.08 million), up 17% compared to the same period in 2024, and a net profit of CHF 578 million, up 14% year-on-year
** The co said it brings forward to 2025 its guidance that performance fees will represent 25% to 40% of total revenues, given the visibility the company has on the pipeline of maturing assets expected to be realised
** Despite lower management fees than expected, "this could be more than offset by much stronger performance fees than consensus expects this year", says J.P. Morgan
** Up to the previous session's close, shares were down 10.9% YTD
