Pantheon is a private equity investment manager, operating through a series of fund of funds as well as a publicly traded private equity vehicle, Pantheon International Participations. Pantheon invests through new private equity funds as well as secondary market purchases of existing private equity assets.
Pantheon has 164 employees with over US$23.6 billion in assets under management. The firm has operated as a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group Inc. ("AMG") since its acquisition in early 2010.[1][2]
Originally formed in 1982 as the private equity investment division of GT Management in London, Pantheon's management acquired the private equity division in 1988 through a management buyout. Pantheon was then acquired by Russell Investments, an investment management subsidiary of Northwestern Mutual, in 2004.
In 2010, Pantheon was acquired by Affiliated Managers Group ("AMG"), a NYSE-listed asset management company with shareholdings in a diverse group of over 30 mid-sized asset management firms. Pantheon's management acquired a share of the equity in the transaction and is expected to maintain independent management of its business.[1][2]
Pantheon develops and implements private equity investment strategies for more than 300 institutional investors globally, including public and private pension plans, endowments, foundations, and family offices.
Pantheon International Participations plc (LSE: PIN) is a large British publicly-traded private equity fund of funds investment trust managed by Pantheon Ventures. Established in 1987, PIP was the first private equity fund-of-funds investment trust and was formerly a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
