Investment Strategy
Golding Capital Partners invests across three asset classes: private equity, private credit, and infrastructure. In each area, the firm deploys capital through primary fund commitments, secondary market transactions, and co-investments, providing diversified exposure to private markets through a multi-strategy approach.
The private equity program invests in buyout, growth equity, and special situations funds managed by both established and emerging managers in Europe and North America. Golding’s manager selection process emphasizes mid-market strategies where the firm believes operational value creation and inefficiency premiums are most accessible.
The private credit business covers direct lending, mezzanine, and specialty finance strategies, providing investors with yield-oriented exposure to private debt markets. The infrastructure program focuses on essential services infrastructure across energy, digital, transportation, and social sectors in developed markets.

Golding’s client base has historically been anchored by German insurance companies, pension funds, and savings banks, with the firm expanding its institutional reach across broader Europe and Asia.
The secondary investment practice provides portfolio management tools and enhanced diversification, while co-investments offer direct deal exposure at reduced fee levels. Golding’s integrated platform allows the sharing of market intelligence and GP relationships across all three asset classes.
