Board of Director’s Report

Positive NAV development amid volatile public markets

Partners Group Global Value SICAV (the Fund) saw a solid year and closed 2018 on a positive note for all share classes. Share class I (EUR) gained +7,2%, share class I (USD) rose by +7,5% on a net basis. Compared to public markets the development of the Fund remained on a stable growth path at significantly lower volatility (4,6%). Since inception of the Fund in February 2007, the outperformance to the MSCI World TR (in EUR) widened to more than 38%, in particular due to the stormy last quarter of 2018. During Q4, the private markets portfolio demonstrated its value to investors, with valuations based on companies' earnings and less on sentiment compared to the public markets. The portfolio developed well, with the ten best performing assets stemming from the Fund's direct investments. The vast majority of the companies reported positive development of the operational figures driven by value creation initiatives.

The largest positive contributor was private equity co-lead direct investment Aavas Financiers that held its IPO end of September. Partners Group and Kedaara Capital sold 14,6 million shares, or roughly 24% of their stake in the company. Since the acquisition of the company in June 2016, its total assets on book have grown by 46% and total equity by 118%, respectively. Aavas provides housing loans to India's low and middle income population, focusing on self-employed first time borrowers.

Furthermore, Cerba HealthCare the leading French medical laboratory services operator developed well. Cerba's carrying value increased on the back of robust financial performance. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased due to new clients and the strategic acquisition of Bio7. Meanwhile, Partners Group continues to work closely with Cerba's management on a number of initiatives. For instance, the company has developed an extensive pipeline of over 200 labs for potential acquisitions to drive its plan for M&A consolidation across France.

Sustained healthy investment activity

As seen in previous years, Partners Group's investment decisions remained highly selective with a decline rate of 96% with respect to direct and secondary transactions. Partners Group overall closed 117 direct and secondary deals with a value of USD 16,7 billion. On the Primary side the decline rate stood at 90% with 444 of the screened funds being rejected whereas 48 received a commitment. Broken down on Fund level, direct transactions continued to be the predominant investment type on the equity as well as on the debt side. Besides direct transactions, the Fund was increasingly active committing to primary investments compared to the last years. Overall, the Fund invested EUR 786 million in 22 new direct deals as well as 10 secondary transactions and committed EUR 365 million to 16 primary investments.

Investment examples

With respect to private equity direct investments, Partners Group closed the acquisition of GlobalLogic, a global provider of software product engineering services in a transaction that valued the company at USD 2,0 billion. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in San Jose, California, GlobalLogic has been an innovator in the digital product engineering services space, with approximately 12.000 employees working at design studios and engineering centers across the globe. The company helps clients build innovative digital products that enhance customer engagement, and create new revenue streams. Its clients represent well-known global brands across multiple industry verticals. With over USD 500 million in revenue, and an average growth rate of over 20% for the past five fiscal years, GlobalLogic has more than doubled its revenue over the same period, while maintaining strong profit margins. Demand for digital product engineering services has grown rapidly, and GlobalLogic has

- 4 - Partners Group Global Value SICAV

been instrumental in helping brands navigate the digital transformation arena. Going forward, Partners Group will work closely with GlobalLogic's management team to expand internationally and extend the company's reach into new markets and geographies. GlobalLogic will also leverage on Partners Group's relationships as it looks to further strengthen its competitive position and prospects for sustainable, long-term growth and enduring profitability.

In addition, Partners Group deployed capital to fund the announced acquisition of Techem, a global market leader in the provision of heat and water sub-metering services, in a transaction that valued the company at EUR 4,6 billion. Founded in 1952 and headquartered in Eschborn, Germany, Techem provides sub-metering services to approximately 410.000 customers, including property owners and managers, across 11 million dwellings in over 20 countries. The company's core business comprises installation, monitoring and reading services in addition to providing devices used for sub-metering, such as heat and water meters, and operates through a B2B2C business model, as the contracting party or landlord (B2B) passes on the costs to the tenant (B2C). Techem is the market leader in Germany, the largest sub-metering market in the world, as well as in an additional 13 European markets. Partners Group was attracted to Techem as it benefits from regulatory-driven demand: sub-metering is mandatory by an EU directive, creating high potential for increased penetration across Europe over the coming years. In addition, the long-term contractual nature of its business provides Techem with stable cash flows and good revenue visibility. The company also has a proven track record of growth. Techem is deeply integrated into its customers' business processes and due to high switching costs experiences a very low churn rate. Furthermore, the company has the potential to transform into a leading energy efficiency provider by cross-selling adjacent services such as smart building and energy management solutions and by using digitization to improve customer experience and cost efficiency of processes including protocol filing and billing. Going forward, Partners Group will work closely with Techem's management to expand market share by capitalizing on currently underserved segments, increase revenues per dwelling by switching to higher-value products, implement an operational excellence program to further transform the existing business model and execute on cost-saving opportunities via effective automation of business processes.

On the secondary side, the Fund participated in Project Surya, an estimated USD 460 million secondary transaction comprising 31 partnerships managed by reputable investment partners. The seller was motivated by estate planning purposes while Partners Group was attracted by the portfolio's quality. The transaction was secured in an auction process where competition was lower than expected given multiple large transactions in the market at the same time. The portfolio primarily contains North American buyout funds with minimum emerging market or venture exposure. The portfolio is highly diversified, consisting largely of inflection assets acquired post-2012 with approximately USD 175 million of unfunded commitments that serve as a natural hedge to the existing portfolio. Partners Group was well positioned to price the portfolio, with about 90% investment overlap by exposure, as well as deep insights into the underlying assets since 70% of the NAV are in funds recently evaluated in other projects.

Furthermore, the Fund invested in Project Reach a proprietary private equity secondary transaction for the restructuring of a 2011-vintage fund managed by Primavera Capital, which represents Partners Group's second proprietary secondary opportunity with the China-based private equity firm. Primavera has expertise in the financial services sector with an established network that provides access to sizeable and highly sought-after assets. The portfolio comprises two China-based diversified finance services providers that are expected to benefit from the upside potential in the maturation of the China's capital market and Primavera's track record in the financial services sector. Partners Group has an indirect exposure to both assets via other Primavera funds, which provided good knowledge of the investment partner's value creation capabilities as well as deep insights into the underlying investments. At the same time, Partners Group has a strong relationship with the seller, which

- 5 - Partners Group Global Value SICAV

cemented its position as the preferred partner, leading to the successful closing of this deal. The largest asset in the portfolio by NAV is a leading mutual fund manager in China that offers a full suite of products that cover equity, bond and money market for mutual fund business as well as specific and general mandate offerings to institutional clients. As at June 30, 2018, the company has USD 151 billion of assets under management.

Maintaining a well-diversified portfolio

Partners Group will also in 2019 continue to grow the Fund in a controlled manner by way of applying a disciplined budgeting approach. Carefully restricting net subscriptions on a monthly basis is a crucial portfolio management component to protect existing investors from dilution and to maintain the desired portfolio diversification. By looking on the vintage diversification of the portfolio investments, the value of the beforehand mentioned approach takes effect, demonstrated in a uniform exposure to the most recent four vintages 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, that each reflect approximately 18% of the current portfolio value. With respect to exposure by transaction type, the allocation to direct investments as of December 31, 2018 stood at 52%, the share of primary investments at 29% and secondaries accounted for 19%. During the year, the regional diversification shifted towards North America (+4%) with the following allocation as of end of December: 45% North America, 39% Europe, 13% Asia-Pacific and 3% Rest of World. Looking on the sectors in which the underlying companies are active, low cyclical industries like healthcare, consumption and telecommunication infrastructure account for almost half of the portfolio. Compared to 2017, the Fund increased for example its allocation to information technology (+2%), whereas materials decreased by 2%.

Outlook

The past year has seen private equity valuations rise yet again from an already high base, supported by increasing competition from private equity managers, strategic buyers and new market entrants, encouraged by the pursuit for yield while interest rates stay low and by strong debt markets for leveraged buyouts. As Partners Group does not operate in isolation, higher valuations are a reality in the underwriting, especially given the focus on high-quality assets in high-growth segments. In order to mitigate the risk linked to paying competitive prices, Partners Group's strategy is tripartite. Firstly, the approach is to remain selective with a thorough due diligence process, investing in only around 3% of the opportunities Partners Group screens. However, to be able to remain selective but having at the same time a substantial investment closing rate, strong sourcing capabilities are the key to success. Secondly, driven by competition in the market, formal investment due diligence process timelines contracted to around 3,5 months and thus developing investment ideas ahead of the market becomes increasingly important. With more than 200 investment professionals and over 300 industrial partners, Partners Group is able to identify attractive assets in advance, hence ensuring on average 10 months additional time before the start of the formal due diligence. Partners Group's large private markets database, tracking around 34.000 privately held companies, is the basis of this process and enables the investment teams to proactively search for assets that would be attractive to own and to develop to the next level. Thirdly, to achieve attractive returns in this environment, private markets investment managers have no choice but to outstand in their value creation capabilities. Therefore, more than ever, Partners Group is focusing on highly entrepreneurial ownership and active value creation with a growing and dedicated team of more than 30 operational specialists.

Partners Group´s investment focus remains on 'platform companies'. Those are leading companies with a strong management team and company infrastructure in fragmented industries which can be further expanded through add-on acquisitions. This allows to bring small or lower mid-market business into the leader's corporate infrastructure at lower acquisition multiples, thus building large significant market leaders at a reasonable price. Next to platform investments, Partners Group will focus on finding 'niche winners' which are companies in sub- segments of specific industries benefitting from particularly strong products or services and demonstrating an

- 6 - Partners Group Global Value SICAV

ability to grow disproportionately. Lastly, Partners Group aims for 'franchise companies' which are businesses with value creation potential as well as strong defensive capabilities and the ability to quickly de-leverage. In this case broadening the business fields and strengthening the company's positioning is the main goal.

Responsibilities of the “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the financial statements

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

· identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

· obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control;

· evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Fund;

· conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Fund’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our audit report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Fund to cease to continue as a going concern;

· evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

12 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

We have been appointed as “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé” of the Fund by the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 28 June 2018 and the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous renewals and reappointments, is 2 years.

2. Accounting methods

The financial statements are on a going concern basis prepared in accordance with Luxembourg regulations relating to investment funds, including the following significant accounting policies:

2.1 Valuation of investments

Securities which are quoted or dealt in on a stock exchange are valued at the latest available dealing price or the latest available mid-market quotation (being the midpoint between the latest quoted bid and offer prices) on the stock exchange which is normally the principal market for such security. Investments in unquoted private equity funds (or any funds of private equity funds) and in limited partnerships are initially valued at cost and thereafter by reference to the most recent net asset value as reported by the general partner or manager of the relevant investment as adjusted for subsequent net capital activity and other event to reflect fair value. The Board of Directors of the Fund, on the basis of advice received from the Investment Advisor, will make its own estimation of the value of any Direct Investment held by the Fund and will typically not obtain independent valuation of such Direct Investment. The Board of Directors shall determine prudently and in good faith the estimated realization value of such assets. Mezzanine Direct Investments will initially be valued at cost (face value of loan plus accrued interest, if any) and thereafter typically adjusted for any change, if any, in (i) accrued pay-in-kind interest, in (ii) value of warrants and/or (iii) in the face value of the loans. In selecting investments, the Board of Directors has taken into consideration the accounting and valuation basis of the underlying partnerships and direct investments and selects only those investments, which adopt an internationally recognized standard. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that the above valuation guidelines are not appropriate in relation to a particular asset of the Fund, then the Board of Directors shall determine prudently and in good faith the fair value of such asset. The Administrator authorised to conclusively rely on such net asset valuations reported by the general partner or manager of the relevant investment, or the Board of Directors, as the case may be.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments by the Board of Directors of the Fund

There is significant subjectivity in the valuation of investments in limited partnerships and directly held investments with very little transparent market activity to provide support for fair value levels at which willing buyers and sellers would transact. The estimates and judgments employed therein are therefore continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Board of Directors make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

- 31 - Partners Group Global Value SICAV

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 (continued)

Valuation method

For the valuation of such investments, the Board of Directors review the latest information provided by underlying partnerships and other business partners, which frequently does not coincide with the valuation date, and applies widely recognized valuation methods to such data such as time of last financing, multiple analysis, discounted cash flow method and third party valuation as well as market prices to estimate a fair value as at the balance sheet date. As part of the fair valuation of such investments the Board of Directors use observable market and cash flow data to consider and determine the fair values of the underlying investments. Furthermore the Alternative Investment Fund Manager – Partners Group (UK) Ltd. – (the “AIFM”) considers the overall portfolio against observable data and general market developments to determine if the values attributed appear fair based on the current market environment. The Board of Directors make reasonable efforts to obtain the latest available information from the underlying investment. As part of the continuous evaluation of the fair value of the underlying unquoted investments the fair value assessment procedures are determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors is also responsible for ensuring that these procedures are adhered to during the assessment of the fair values. Based on an assessment of relevant applicable indicators of fair value, the Board of Directors estimate the fair values as at the valuation date. Such indicators may include, but are not limited to: - limited partnership’s most recent reporting information including a detailed analysis of underlying company performance and investment transactions with the fund between the latest available fund reporting and the balance sheet date of the Fund; - review of a direct investment’s most recent accounting and cash flow reports and models, including date supplied by both the sponsor and the company and any additional available information between the date of these reports and the balance sheet date of the Fund; - review of recent transaction prices and merger and acquisition activity for similar direct investments; - review of the limited partnership’s application of generally accepted accounting principles and the valuation method applied for its underlying investments such as discounted cash flow and multiple analysis, which are based on available information; - review of current market environment and the impact of it on limited partnerships, their investments and the Fund’s direct investments. The variety of valuation bases adopted, quality of management information provided by the underlying partnerships and the lack of liquid markets for the investments held mean that there are inherent difficulties in determining the fair values of these investments that cannot be eliminated. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, and therefore the amounts realized on the sale of investments, could differ from the fair values reflected in these financial statements and the differences may be significant.

2.2 Conversion of foreign currencies

The Fund maintains its accounting records in Euro (EUR) and its financial statements are expressed in this currency. All assets and liabilities in currencies other than EUR are translated into this currency at the exchange rates prevailing as at the end of the year. Income and expenses in currencies other than EUR are translated into EUR at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. The resulting profits and losses are included in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets. The prevailing exchange rates as at December 31, 2018 are:

Currency in EUR

AUD 1,623692 BRL 4,453281 CAD 1,56158 CHF 1,12668 CNY 7,865021 DKK 7,463681 GBP 0,89711 HKD 8,952919 INR 79,906414 JPY 125,535409 NOK 9,905924 SEK 10,138489 SGD 1,55834 USD 1,143489

2.3 Realized profit/loss (-) on sale of investments

Realized profit/loss (-) on sale of investments is the difference between the cost of investment and the sale proceeds. The cost of investment for target funds is defined as the original cost less capital distributions received from target funds. The capital call transactions for the target funds (primaries and secondaries) are recorded at the date they are due to be paid. Distributions of realized gains of partnerships are recorded as realized profit. Investments in limited partnerships and direct investments are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flow from investments have expired or substantially all risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. Amounts realized on the sale of directly held investments and limited partnerships may differ from the values reflected in these financial statements and the differences might be significant. All transactions relating to investments in limited partnerships and direct investments are recognized on the settlement date.

2.4 Unrealized profit/loss (-) on investments

The unrealized gain or loss on investments is calculated as the difference between the cost and the market value of the investment at year end. In accordance with current practices, the changes of unrealized profit/loss at the end of the financial year are accounted for in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets.

- 33 - Partners Group Global Value SICAV

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 (continued)

2.5 Forward foreign exchange contracts

The unrealized gain or loss on forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the difference between the contracted rate and the rate to close out the contract. In accordance with the current practices, the changes of unrealized profit/loss at the end of the financial year are accounted for in the Statement of operations and changes in net assets. Realized profit or loss includes realized gain or loss on forward foreign exchange contracts that have been settled.

2.6 Dividend and interest income

Distributions of ordinary income and interests received are accounted for as Income on investments. Capital gain distributions are accounted for as income if appropriate based on information provided by general partners. Interest on bank accounts and interests on investments are accounted for on an accrual basis.

2.7 Transaction costs

Partners Group Global Value SICAV has a private markets portfolio that typically does not separately disclose transaction costs in connection with its investments. It is market standard that transaction costs (if there are any) are generally included in the cost of the investment (in other words as part of the purchase price) and not separately disclosed to the buyer. Therefore the fund is not in a position to disclose such transaction costs since the information is not available and it is not certain that such transaction costs occurred. Partners Group Global Value SICAV has identified the following expenses as transaction costs in the sense of article 124 of the Law dated July 12, 2013. The amount of the transaction costs per December 31, 2018 is EUR 517.031,57.

In addition the AIFM is entitled to a Performance Fee. The Performance Fee shall be calculated and paid in respect of each Direct Investment and in respect of each Secondary Investment (i.e. on a deal-by-deal basis), whether or not such investments are made through any Pooling Vehicle. For all classes except Class T Shares and Class T-N Shares, the Performance Fee in respect of Direct Investments and Secondary Investments shall be determined in the currency of the respective transaction and as described at page 31/32 of the Prospectus in clause (i) to (iii), save that the Performance Fee in respect of Secondary Investments shall be determined using a rate of 10%, and the Performance Fee in respect of Direct Debt Investments invested after October 1, 2018 which are not Mezzanine Direct Investments shall be determined using a rate of 10% and the Preferred Return rate shall be 4% per annum, compounded annually.

4. “Taxe d’abonnement”

The Fund is subject to the fiscal legislation of Luxembourg. Under the prevailing laws and regulations, the Fund is subject to an annual subscription tax of 0.05% for all Share Classes per annum of its total net assets, calculated and payable at the end of each quarter. Where a Share Class only includes institutional investors as defined in the applicable legislation, the Fund may benefit from a reduced tax rate of 0.01% per annum for such class. Under the current law and practice, the Fund is not liable to Luxembourg taxes on income or capital gains, nor are dividends paid by the Fund liable to any Luxembourg withholding tax. Dividends and interest, if any, received by the Fund from investments may be liable to withholding taxes in the countries concerned at varying rates, such withholding taxes are usually not recoverable.

5. Administrative, Depositary and Transfer Agent fees

The Fund shall pay the fees of the Administrator, the Domiciliary and the Registrar and Transfer Agent as well as fees of service providers and fees incurred in places where the Fund is registered. In its capacity as Depositary, M.M.Warburg & CO Luxembourg S.A. is entitled to remuneration in accordance with normal banking practice in Luxembourg at rates agreed from time to time with the Fund.
