Bill Gross warns on gold momentum as regional bank stocks tumble
LONDON - Petershill Partners PLC announced on Thursday a proposed capital return of $921 million to free-float shareholders and plans to delist from the London Stock Exchange, offering a 35% premium to the previous closing share price.
The alternative asset manager, operated by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, reported partner distributable earnings of $152 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a 9% increase year-over-year. The company posted adjusted profit after tax of $124 million, up from $94 million in the same period last year.
The proposed capital return of 415 cents per share would be funded through a combination of cash, deferred disposal proceeds, and new debt. Including the announced interim dividend of 5.2 cents per share, the total payment would amount to 420.2 cents per share.
During the first half of 2025, Petershill completed the disposal of General Catalyst for $726 million and acquired Frazier Healthcare Partners for $330 million. After the reporting period, the company sold its stake in Harvest Partners for $561 million and made a follow-on acquisition in STG Partners for $158 million.
"We are pleased that our Partner-firms have raised $19 billion of gross fee-eligible assets in the first half, despite volatile markets earlier in the year," said Ali Raissi-Dehkordy and Robert Hamilton Kelly, Co-Heads of Goldman Sachs Petershill Group, in a statement based on the company’s press release.
The company maintained its 2025 guidance, expecting $20-25 billion in organic fee-eligible assets under management raises and $5-10 billion in fee-paying AUM realisations.
Aggregate partner-firm assets under management reached $351 billion as of June 30, up 6% year-over-year, while fee-paying AUM increased 3% to $245 billion.
The interim dividend of 5.2 cents per share will be paid on October 31, 2025, to shareholders on record as of October 3, 2025.
