Private Equity
Buyouts. A golden opportunity for small and medium enterprises and investors.
Buyout investments offer the opportunity for a higher basic increase in the value of the portfolio companies and in this way achieve sustainable excess returns in the longer term.

Huge potential. Golding gives you access to the exclusive buyout market.
We make a complex investment area easy to understand and accessible to you. In private equity, part or all of the purchase price of a company is financed with private equity. The funding for such buyouts usually comes from long term, closed-end private equity funds. Investors receive the proceeds from interim dividends from the portfolio companies and from the sale of companies.

High investment quality with the benefit of a tried and tested concept.
We value broadly diversified portfolios that make the most of opportunities and enable an attractive and stable distribution level as quickly as possible. When analysing and selecting our target funds, we draw on our extensive network and the many years of direct investment experience of our team.
Long-standing connections to global fund managers with an ESG focus.
We create private equity portfolios that can generate attractive risk-adjusted returns within defined guidelines. ESG is an integral part of our investment review. We work with fund managers who see ESG as an opportunity to increase the value of their companies - and invest in target funds whose managers act with experience, integrity and a clear strategy for success.
Buyouts for increased sustainability.
Fund managers are increasingly focusing on sustainable companies. This starts with the development of ESG materiality analyses for portfolio companies as well as with the recording of CO2 emissions and the promotion of sustainability awareness among employees. We are committed to standards in ESG reporting for private markets and have systematically structured ESG and sustainability aspects in the investment process.
Our buyout team has been in the market for many, many years. Clients enjoy the benefits of our extensive networks across the entire buyout ecosystem of private equity managers, advisors, banks, debt funds and placement agents.

Investing in Buyouts also involves risks.
- There can be no guarantee that a specific return or earnings target will be achieved. Past returns and forecasts are no guarantee of future success.
- Minority shareholders who are not involved in the management of a buyout fund have no or only limited influence over the fund manager.
- At buyout fund level, the use of not inconsiderable debt financing (leverage) is often permitted and customary. Although the use of leverage can improve performance, it also increases the potential for loss.
- The market values of buyout funds may be subject to significant fluctuations due to macroeconomic factors and/or other changing market conditions.
- Buyout funds are usually unregulated investment vehicles that offer only limited investor protection.
- The investor bears the risk of the tax and regulatory structure of the buyout funds and the investments made.
- By realising risks, investors in buyout funds may suffer losses in value up to the amount of the total loss of the invested capital.
Detailed risk information can be found in the issue document of the respective investment programs.
