Meet the Swiss Investment Firm Behind The Weeknd and Lyric Capital’s Billion-Dollar Deal

Partners Group bought royalty backed notes to finance a joint venture that gives Lyric a 25% equity stake and allows The Weeknd "creative freedom" over publishing and master rights.

The Weeknd and Lyric Capital‘s deal to move the Starboy artist’s back catalog into a new joint venture was financed through royalty-backed notes bought by the Swiss-based investment firm Partners Group, according to a press release.

The Weeknd’s masters catalog and Lyric Capital raised $1 billion — including $750 million in debt — in a deal that gave Lyric a 25% equity stake in artist Abel Tesfaye‘s masters, Billboard reported earlier in December. Partners said on Wednesday that The Weeknd will maintain “freedom to utilize the publishing and masters’ rights over the catalog” in the new vehicle, which it financed through the purchase of royalty-backed notes bought with client funds from its cross-sector royalty strategy.
