Golding opens office in Milan and appoints new head of Italy

The new office is set to expand the firm’s sales activities in Southern Europe and is part of the firm’s long-term international growth strategy, according to a press release. The firm’s goal is to provide investment solutions to make infrastructure, buyout, private credit and impact investing accessible to investors across Europe, it said.

Italy and Southern Europe more broadly are important markets for the firm to build on existing relationships and develop new ones, it said. The new office and the firm’s own local sales force in Italy will enable it to be closer to its existing network of investors, as well as developing new contacts, including semi-professional target groups in the long term.

Golding Capital Partners manages more than EUR 13.5bn in assets and its 230-plus investors include pension funds, insurance companies, foundations, family offices and ecclesiastical institutions, as well as banks, savings banks and cooperative banks.
