Golding Capital Partners Closes "Golding Buyout 2021" Fund at €250 Million

Munich, 26 September 2024 – Golding Capital Partners has announced the final closing of its Article 8 fund, “Golding Buyout 2021,” with capital commitments totaling €250 million. This fund combines primaries, secondaries, and co-investments, attracting both German and international investors. Alongside existing backers, new investors such as foundations, savings banks, and family offices have joined.

Daniel Boege, Partner and Head of Buyout at Golding, highlighted the strong performance of the fund's portfolio, particularly in primary funds which offer exclusive high-quality investment opportunities. The early launch of co-investment and secondaries programs has already shown positive results, leading to successful exits.

The portfolio focuses on small and mid-cap companies in Europe and the USA, specifically targeting sectors like technology, healthcare, and B2B services. Experienced managers are key to supporting these companies' growth through active value creation.

Managing Partner Hubertus Theile-Ochel noted that with over two decades in the buyout asset class, Golding has built a strong track record. The “Golding Buyout 2021” fund is their first Article 8 buyout fund under the EU Sustainable Financial Disclosure Regulation.

Golding’s buyout segment holds approximately €2.7 billion in assets under management with consistent net returns exceeding 14%. "Golding Buyout 2021" aims for net returns between 12% and 14% and will ultimately include a diversified portfolio of over 300 individual investments.
