Golding receives commitments in excess of €900m
German fund-of-funds investor Golding Capital Partners has raised €900m in commitments across its private debt and infrastructure strategies.
Golding Private Debt 2016 fund held its final close at €580m, while the firm's Golding Infrastructure Co-Investment 2016 fund held its final close at €336m.
The announcement comes weeks after Golding was expected to hold a first close for Golding Buyout 2018. The fund was launched in June 2018 with a €400m target and was expected to hold its first close by the end of the year.
A spokesperson for the firm confirmed to Unquote that a first close for Golding Buyout 2018 is expected to be announced in the next couple of weeks.
The fund-of-funds will have an average commitment size of €20m and will target 15-25 mid-market funds – mostly in the sub-€1bn size bracket – but will also have a small exposure to secondary funds and co-investment opportunities. The LP base is mostly comprised of German investors, including pension funds, insurance companies and banks.
Golding held a first close for Golding Private Debt 2016 on €331m, 55% of the fund's €600m target.
Golding Infrastructure Co-Investment 2016 offers institutional investors access to co-investments in the infrastructure segment. It closed on €336m at year-end 2018, exceeding the original target of €300m.
