– Golding Capital Partners has closed its Article 8 fund “Golding Buyout 2021” with €250 million in capital commitments.
– This is the fourth generation of its established buyout series, combining primaries, secondaries, and co-investments, attracting both German and international investors, including new ones such as foundations, savings banks, and family offices.
– Daniel Boege, Partner & Head of Buyout at Golding, stated: “We’re particularly proud of our existing portfolio of primary funds, which often offer exclusive access to high-quality investment opportunities.

– Hubertus Theile-Ochel Managing Partner at Golding, remarked: “With over two decades of successful investing in the buyout asset class, Golding has established a strong track record. Our extensive partner network, superior market access, and ability to assemble attractive portfolios have been key to our success.”
– “Golding Buyout 2021” is Golding’s first Article 8 buyout fund under the EU Sustainable Financial Disclosure Regulation and will include over 300 individual investments, targeting net returns between 12% and 14%.
– Golding’s buyout segment currently manages around €2.7 billion in assets, consistently outperforming target returns with net returns above 14%.
