Partners Capital Investment Group has named Jennifer Fox Bensimon Head of Co-Investments, putting her in charge of a private equity co-investment platform that has deployed more than $2.5 billion to date.
Partners Capital manages more than $84 billion and serves institutions, family offices and individuals globally.
Bensimon joined the firm’s Co-Investment team in September 2024 after working at private equity firms Trilantic North America and LNK Partners, where she focused on middle-market investments in consumer and business services.
Since joining Partners Capital, Bensimon has helped expand the scale of the firm’s co-investment strategy.
She played an important role in the Merlin IV fundraising, which closed in December 2025, and has helped expand sourcing and transaction activity. The program has deployed more than $1 billion across more than 25 deals during that period.
Partners Capital launched its dedicated Merlin Co-Investment platform in 2019.
The strategy invests alongside high-conviction private equity managers as an aligned equity investor in single-asset transactions across multiple structures. Altogether, Partners Capital has deployed more than $2.5 billion in private equity co-investments.
The appointment comes as continuation vehicles, concentrated single-asset investments and other co-investment structures take a larger role within institutional private markets portfolios.
Partners Capital has more than 400 employees across 11 offices globally and reported $84 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2026.
