Profil Financier
Marcel Erni occupe actuellement le rang #1428 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur finance & investissement). Fortune nette estimée : $2.9 B (-$227 sur 24h).
Marcel Erni is the cofounder of Partners Group, a Swiss private equity firm with more than $185 billion in assets under management.
He started Partners Group in 1996 with fellow billionaires Alfred Gantner and Urs Wietlisbach; the trio had all worked at Zurich's Goldman Sachs.
The firm was reportedly created in a 300-square-foot office with Ikea desks, with its founders pooling together $100,000 for its startup capital.
Partners Group went public in Switzerland a decade later, and Erni still owns roughly 5% of the stock.
The University of Chicago alum also did a stint at McKinsey & Co. and has a PhD in finance and banking from the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.
In 2021, Partners Group banned its staff from using the word "deal," asking them to think more like founders and less like short-term investors.
