Why isn’t Partners Group a MF?

Monkeys, would love to get your perspectives on something. Why is Partners Group such a “no name” brand?

By most key measures, you’d probably call it a megafund - AUM is US$185bn, latest PE fund was >US$15bn, >50% of AUM comes from PE - but I never see any mention of PG on this forum.

What am I missing here? Why isn’t it thought of in th same way as other large European managers like EQT / CVC?
