Palladio Partners reaches AUM of EUR 10 billion

Palladio Partners now has EUR 10.1 billion in assets under management. The investment boutique and private markets specialist announced the milestone at its 2025 Investors Day. The capital raised from institutional investors is invested globally by Palladio Partners in the infrastructure, private equity and private debt asset cla sses. Direct investments in Germany form a substantial part of this. The annual Palladio Partners Investors Day, which took place in Frankfurt yesterday and today, brought together more than 80 institutional investors. The gathering focused on specific investment themes such as the expansion of digital infrastructure, as well as taking a broader look at geostrategic challenges and economic trends.

Strengthening and growing the company after tragedy in 2024
Bernd Kreuter, Managing Partner at Palladio Partners, opened the event. “On a personal level, last year wasn’t an easy one,” he said. “The sudden passing of our co -founder  Mike Rieder in October deeply affected our team. Mike would certainly be proud to see the way we are continuing his legacy and how our company is developing. We have appointed a new executive team, welcomed experienced additional personnel and expanded our office space. Assets under management have risen by over EUR 1 billion since the beginning of  2024 and have now surpas sed the EUR 10 billion mark.”

High investor interest in infrastructure
Kreuter’s fellow executive team members Dennis Schnutenhaus and Markus Polarczek gave an overview of developments in the market and in the funds and portfolios managed by  Palladio Partners. They also explored how external factors are affecting investment s and presented recent innovations at the company. “We are currently seeing a gradual revival in fundraising – particularly in the area of infrastructure. On top of this, momentum in Europe is growing on the back of rising optimism among institutional investors about the competitiveness of Germany and of the continent as a whole. The capital is urgently needed to modernize infrastructure,” said Schnutenhaus. “Despite the vast size of the special fund approved by the German government, private capital will continue to play a vital role. Geopolitical events are underscoring how important it is to strengthen infrastructure – particularly with a view to economic resilience and security of supply.”

Transparency across all private market investments with the Private Markets Cockpit
Polarczek presented a new service: “We have long been using our proprietary database – Panda – to offer our clients comprehensive analyses and high levels of transparency. With our new Private Markets Cockpit, we have now developed a compact Panda for our clients. The tool offers them 24/7 transparency in three dimensions for their private market investments. They can view data for different periods, different levels of their portfolio and different quantitative and qualitative metrics.”
