Golding Capital Partners, one of Europe’s leading alternative investments managers, increased its institutional assets under management to a record EUR12 billion in 2021.
Golding received capital commitments of some EUR2 billion over the course of the year, at the same time as making investments of EUR1.5 billion – both figures being also new records in its more than 20-year company history.
In 2022 Golding is planning to increase its assets under management by at least a similar volume, despite the challenging market environment and higher geopolitical risks. Growth is being driven by further internationalisation and a broad range of alternative investment solutions, which comprise specialised co-investment solutions and managed accounts as well as classic funds of funds. Golding also intends to keep expand further its range of sustainable products beyond its first dedicated impact fund.
Golding gained 28 new investors last year, in addition to expanding existing mandates. The biggest individual commitment was from the German TK Pensionsfonds AG, which awarded Golding a multi-asset mandate. In addition to its growing German institutional business, Golding’s international expansion in Europe and beyond is continuing apace. Institutional investors from Southern Europe, East Asia and South America are among its new clients. In the current year Golding particularly intends to build on its relationships in Switzerland, Italy and the Nordic countries.
