About This Fund
Golding Secondaries 2019 is a closed-end private equity secondaries fund managed by Golding Capital Partners GmbH, one of Germany's leading independent alternative investment managers headquartered in Munich. The fund focuses on the acquisition of secondary interests in private equity portfolios, with an investment strategy oriented towards small and mid-cap companies predominantly in Europe and, to a lesser extent, the United States. Golding Secondaries 2019 achieved its first close of over €170 million and went on to report its final closing in January 2022 at €280 million, exceeding its original €200 million target. The fund completed fourteen secondary transactions by the time of the final close, assembling a diversified portfolio of more than 80 underlying companies across multiple sectors. The portfolio construction was well advanced and developing strongly despite disruptions from the COVID-19 crisis, a testament to the resilience of the underlying assets. The fund's investment focus reflects Golding's established expertise in sourcing and managing secondary liquidity across small and mid-cap buyout and growth equity portfolios in Europe. As a successor to earlier Golding secondaries vehicles, this fund continues the firm's long-standing strategy of accessing quality private equity exposure through secondary market transactions, leveraging Golding's network of general partner relationships built over two decades of alternative investment management.
