The private equity-focused fund manager spun out of Goldman Sachs saw its stock drop as much as 16% on Friday after cutting its outlook.
London-listed Petershill Partners
PHLL,
which is operated and three-quarters owned by Goldman Sachs
GS,
Asset Management, said its full year partner fee-related earnings will be in a range of $190 million to $210 million, below previous guidance between $220 million and $250 million. Petershill said the new guidance is “principally to reflect the slower deployment environment impacting timing of fee activations.”
That’s after reporting first-half earnings on that metric fell to $99 million from $110 million, which according to UBS was 6% worse than expected.
One interesting takeaway from its conference call: executives at Petershill say new Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements may drive consolidation of smaller firms.
